<DIV>Well, Ben has been eating fairly well lately. He is still on the raw
diet which I fry for him, and today has been eating some cottage cheese. I
did not think he would eat it, but he did. He even ate some cantaloupe
today. I think part of his problem is that he does not like going to the
lake cottage. He has no dogs to bark at, as they are few and far
between on the beach. As soon as we get home he seems more perky and goes
right to his couch arm in front of the window. They are funny, because
when he sees the cooler he gets excited. Bet he thinks we are
going to a more fun place. As a footnote, he is going to start on a
new pill to help firm up his poop, as the usual drug has not really helped
much. </DIV>
