The Straight Poop Best of the Best A Word from Frank: In order to do the stuff I do, I have to keep current not only about dogs on the web but also about computers and the internet. One way I do that is by reading Lockergnome, a free daily (also available in weekly summary), personality-driven email newsletter. The head honcho and soul of Lockergnome, Chris Pirillo, was kind of a mentor for me. Studying his book on e-zine publishing was a big part of my homework prior to starting The Straight Poop. If you spend more than five minutes a day at your computer, you're bound to pick up lots of useful stuff by reading Lockergnome regularly, and have fun doing it. http://www.lockergnome.com Fetch Link _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a trusted sponsor Bonnie Byers of Windwood Kennels says, "I breed Smooth Fox Terriers; we also have mini-Dachshunds and one Dobe. We've had Kuranda beds for 2 years now and I'd have no other. This is the first bed (and we've tried most) that my dogs have not destroyed. They wash easily, dry quickly and last forever. What a wonderful idea and design!" You can find this and many other great comments about Kuranda Dog Beds from professionals. Click on "Kennels & Veterinarians" on the Kuranda Dog Bed home page.

As one person says, "I'm all for the dog being rescued, but for $50,000, they could keep the dogs alive (at the pound) for all their natural lives. I'm a dog lover. I understand the feelings surrounding wanting to rescue the dog. But there's so much more that could be done with that money." http://www.doggies.com/cgi-bin/links/pl.cgi?1155 Fetch Link _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a trusted sponsor Hotdog!
