A Word From Frank:

Last week I may have been rude to some of our readers ... those with vision impairment who need a little extra consideration when we present our work. If I was rude, it was unintentional and I apologize. If you have any trouble reading The Straight Poop or following its links because your vision is impaired, please let us know. Please be as specific as possible about what we are doing that causes you a problem. If the problem is browser-related rather than vision related, please don't write ... it's up to you to upgrade your browser to a more recent version.

Breeders ... beware of a scam that's making the rounds these days. Many breeders have received proposals with offers to buy a pup for a foreign buyer with payment in the form of a cashier's check for an amount greater than the price of the pup plus shipping. The breeder is asked to pay the person making the proposal the extra amount as a finder's fee. Watch out ... this is a scam ... the cashier's check is probably counterfeit and you'll be out not only the pup but some consirerable sum of money as well.

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


Featured Website: Everything Husky

I'm partial to Siberian Huskies, of course (what with Katie not only living with us but sharing our bed), so forgive me for "waxing ecstatic" about Everything Husky. It has a wide range or articles about the breed and its activities (sledding and the like), rescue, health and nutrition. And you don't have to be a Siberian Husky lover to enjoy the wonderful stories you'll find when you click on Feature Article Archives, particularly Lightning: A Birthday Present and Choice Spirit. Enjoy!

I kid you not. According to Ananova, the Austrian capital is taking some interesting measures to clean up the city's streets. Maybe flushable fire hydrants next?

Don't Miss This One

Have you seen UltiMutt's dog posters and greeting cards? I'm not normally into artwork, but I think this stuff is impressive. It's not cutesy like so much of the other dog stuff I've seen. In fact, it's downright inspiring! Not only is the product top quality, but their service is quick and professional. I highly recommend the Ultimutt website. (It's fun just to browse through all of the different designs!)
