<DIV>Ben will sleep late. He stays in bed until I get up, be it 7 or 8 in
the morning. The last two mornings he got up around 6, and has been
licking the air, a lot. He jumps out of the bed and starts licking the rugs and
goes to the kitchen to want to go out. I get him out and he runs to the
grass and starts eating it. I take him for a walk, and get back home and
all is fine. This voracious licking of the air worries me a lot, and
has me scared, especially as it has happened two mornings in a row. Any
help in explaining this would be greatly appreciated. At first I thought
it may be the start of bloat, but he did not try to vomit, or any of the
other signs. Thanks in advance.</DIV>
