<DIV>First, Crackers is doing so well that I know it was the power of the
Droolers that sustained him through 9 days in intensive care. And best of all,
his personality is unchanged except he is even more my velcro boy.And he has
added a bit of mischief to his talents. Never in his life did he ever try to
knock down a baby gate. Since being home, he routinely pushes his way thru the
one between the kitchen and dining room. I don't use the dining room for
anything right now except for storage. He doesn't do anything once in there,
just wanders around and then comes back into the kitchen. I tried to deter him
by putting a metal stepladder across the gate but he moves that too. All three
of them follow me around the house now even when I take 15 steps from the family
room to the kitchen. It is like leading a parade to get a drink of water! But I
wouldn't have it any other way.</DIV>
<DIV>Crackers and I will be heading to the Ramble and Loki and Jordan go to
their favorite kennel. Hope to see a lot of you there.<BR>Kathy with Crackers,
Loki and Jordan (who has knocked down every other baby gate in the
house)</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
