<DIV>As is so often the case I am catching up on the drools. So I have a
lot of drool to send for those in need. Read about Crackers, and am
glad that the drool has worked and he has turned around overnight. I so
hope that his recovery continues, and can be back at home real soon, and speed
his recovery even more. I hope that his other issues are not serious and
he will be with you for some time yet. I am also glad that Penelope came
through her surgery well, and that the stones are gone. As was stated,
hopefully now that she is out of pain things will improve all around for
her. Lastly, drool on the way to Princess who was diagnosed with cancer,
and to Blue Grass BR's poor Gwendolyn. Hope that the houndie drool will be
beneficial to both of them and help to pull them through. Ben will be
working awfully hard in these matters to see that they do make it.</DIV>
