The Straight Poop Rescue Site of the Week A Word From Frank: This is a little bit of Old Home Week in The Straight Poop. We're revisiting three of the best and most important and useful dog related web sites -- in our featured web site, in the activities and training section and in the featured rescue site. All three bear a new look from time to time. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111 The Straight Poop featured WEB SITE Without a doubt, one of the oldest and most informative places on the internet about dogs is the FAQ site (Frequently Asked Questions) and answers, of course, Cindy Tittle Moore's baby, the rec.pets.dogs FAQ homepage. Everything from "Choosing a Dog" (soup) to "Breed Rescue" (nuts), as well as "Your New Puppy" (salad?), Behavior (main course?), Discussion lists (dessert?) and lots, lots more. Every dog owner, prospective, new or veteran, should visit this site from time to time, bookmark it (or add it to your favorites), and use it as probably the best dog reference site there is. http://www.k9web.com/dog-faqs// Fetch Link _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a trusted sponsor It's calendar season! Calendars.com is the world's most complete supplier of calendars, and all the 2003 dog breed calendars are now in stock and shipping. Many are 16 month calendars, so you can start using them right away. And they don't stop at just dogs. How about shoes, monkeys, duct tape (yes, I said duct tape!), old maps, World Trade Center, cars, trains, planes, cats, fine art, tennis players, whatever your fancy.
