<DIV>Well today I finally broke down and took Millie in for grooming. For
weeks now I have been pulling tufts of hair from Millie, not just a few, but
tons of them all over the neighborhood. The colors of our rugs were
just about changed from all the fur covering them. When I
picked her up, it was almost like getting a different dog. Smooth, silky
and no tufts of fur sticking out. It has convinced me that I should do
this twice a year, rather than just once. That will save a lot of wear and
tear on the vac.</DIV>

<DIV>On another note, this weekend at the GABR waddle I touted my praises about
Millie and what a good girl she had been; never having any accidents in the
house or doing anything naughty at all. This morning Millie got me up by
pacing the room and panting. I took her out and before she got to
the front of the house where she does her business she pooped. It was
mostly normal, except for the end which was pretty mushy. She did take her
pills, but would not eat her breakfast, no matter what I did to
it. I gave her a treat and Kathy and I went out to shop for
groceries. When we got home, she then ate some dry kibble that I had
left in the bowl. Shortly thereafter, my wife found a pile of mushy poop
on our antique Kermen rug. She must have done it shortly after we
left as it had turned color from being there. Such is the
irony. Of all the places to do it, it had to be on the living
room rug. I do not know what was the matter. She seems to be better
now.</DIV></DIV>
