<DIV>Val, I know how you feel. My Millie is just a perfect hound.
She has some separation anxiety, which is getting better. We
were gone for about 4 1/2 hours this week and when we came home, there was
no howling heard and when she came down from the upstairs, she was not all wet
from drool like when I first got her. That aside, she is wonderful.
She does not insist on sleeping on the bed, she eats well, she does not go nuts
when people come to visit, she does not even bark when the bell rings.
Even better, she gets along with other dogs, even though she barks like a nut
when she sees one. Would I return another Ben or Charlie </DIV>
<DIV>if I got one, no way, but I am glad for a break. Like me, enjoy the
respite. </DIV>
