<DIV>Ben and Charlie are sending drool to Ernest for his problems. They
hope they can find out what is the matter and get him fixed up all better.
Drool on the way also to Schroeder for his eye and butt problems. How
embarrassing to have an owie there. Hope it is nothing serious, and both
problems can be fixed up pronto so he can be back to normal real soon. I
will keep you all in my prayers, as well as for all the other houndies who need
it.</DIV>
