<DIV>Gotta send rehab drool to Gracie who had the knee replacement and is
finally gong hope to her houndies. I am so happy for you, and know your
joy. Had a hip replacement last may, and couldn't wait to get home to
mine. I am having the second one replaced Feb. 3rd., and regret
having to leave Ben. I hope that I do not have to stay longer like last
year. I am sure you will feel great getting home to the hounds.</DIV>

<DIV>Lastly drool is going out to Dawn's hubby and Lucy's dad slave. Hope
his cardiac catheterization was successful and that his recovery will be fast
and complete. Hope Lucy will be a good nurse and speed the healing.
Ben will send his drool to all needing it.</DIV>
