<div>The Houndettes are in drool overdrive for Johnny, Trooper, Sandy and anyone else who needs it and I'm sending many get well wishes for everyone too.</div>

<div>One of our neighbors complained about our back yard smelling last year. We had our four Houndettes plus two foster hounds at the time. Unfortunately, it's the urine that smells and there's no way to pick that up! A friend told us to mix a couple teaspoons of dish soap with the regular gold colored Listerine and water and spray the yard with it. The DH bought a sprayer that attaches to the hose that most people would use to spray their garden with and off he goes and sprays where the Houndettes do most of their business. It actually helps a lot and is much cheaper than using the products from the pet super stores. We tried those expensive products first and didn't notice any difference at all. We're here in the south and it's HOT so things do get a little stinky but I'm having a hard time believing that you would have the same problem up north. Lets face it, it doesn't take much to make some people complain about anything.</div>

<div>We're headed for NY to see family this week. Our daughter will be staying with the Houndettes but we're taking our Suzy with us because she is somewhat incontinent and there is no way that she'll be able to wait till our friend can get here midday to let the hounds out while our daughter is at work. This will be the first time since Suzy came to us at five months old (she's three now) that she has been without her sisters so it should be interesting. I'm not sure if she's going to be delighted to have us all to herself for a few days or be down in the dumps without the rest of the Houndettes. Actually, it'll be the first time that we've left everyone else home! It's going to be a strange week!</div>

<div>Healing drool to all.</div>
