<DIV>I have been catching up on my drools, as the holidays have caused me to
fall behind. I am having Ben, who was not as lucky this holiday as last in
grabbing goodies, send all the drool he can muster for those in need. It
is going out to Jules H. who asked for it for the stress going on in her
life. Hope things get better for her and that whatever is causing the
stress, lessens. It is also going out to Pat Wood and her newly blind
hound Becky. It will take patience on the part of her and the other hounds
until Becky gets used to her new affliction. She will get used to it, as
will the others. It just takes time. Lastly it is going out to Dale
Rutz and poor Snoopy. Hopefully the vet will do testing to get the correct
diagnosis, and will be able to cure him. We do not want to lose our buddy
Snoopy. It is so frightening when things like this happen, and they can't
give an answer as to what is wrong. </DIV>

<DIV>He did luck out in one respect. Christmas dinner ended up being a bit
over cooked, and he is now getting the leftover mock chicken legs on his
food. </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
