Patented, chewproof Kuranda Dog Beds. What our customers say: "My dog was away from home for a short spell recently, and not sleeping on his Kuranda. When he came home, he had developed sores and calluses on most of his leg joints. Within 2 weeks of being back on his Kuranda bed, they had healed and gone." Emma from Canada.

A Word From Frank:

This issue of The Straight Poop marks the beginning of a new era in our our nearly 3-1/2 year history -- it's our first "html" issue. I think you'll find it easy to read, pretty to look at, and simpler to find what you want to see. Enjoy, and tell your friends what a great resource The Straight Poop is.

Although we're in Toronto, SARS hasn't touched us directly, but the scare sure has had a big impact on business here. Nonna and I are going to spend my birthday in a couple of weeks seeing a show, eating at a fancy restaurant, staying at a luxurious hotel for a night and taking in a Blue Jays game, all for a very low price. The package is really a bargain -- business is so bad they're running this special just to get some people in the places. Wish us fun!

See you again next week. Wishing you a warm puppy 'til then.
Frank

Dogs in the News: How Many Lives?

They say a cat has 9 lives. Maybe they should be changing that old adage to dogs, particularly this one. " "Dog Who Survived Freezer, Bullet, at Home", from the April 28, 2003 Las Vegas Sun.

Featured Dog Video: Dog Training for Children, by Ian Dunbar

We all know how much easier it is to get kids to watch TV than to read a book. Well, here's how to use that knowledge to give kids some understanding of how to teach their dogs the basics and more -- housetraining, early lead training, sit and down, come and how to play the right way. Also, in intro to agility for juniors. The perfect companion to that new puppy!

Featured Rescue Site: Lifeline Puppy Rescue

Lifeline Puppy Rescue is a Colorado organization serving the entire Rocky Mountain region. I like their focus -- puppies. They rescue pups (under 12 weeks) from individual owners or other rescues and shelters that are not prepared to adequately care for or find proper homes for puppies, find qualified homes for the pups, and much more..
