Dr. Brown -- Thank you very much. I guess I am going to hang in there. There is really nothing else I can do. The only comment I can make is that some of the responders to my question also seem to have or have had very tiny Labs. At 51# as of 2 days ago thats small. Although she did gain 1 # in a month. Late last year she started out at 49. Thank you very much for your input and comments. By the way your lab in the picture is beautiful. What a coat... Jeff
