A Word From Frank:

I received an email message today that looked very much like an official notification from Microsoft that purported to be the "'June 2003, Cumulative Patch' update which eliminates all known security vulnerabilities affecting Internet Explorer, Outlook and Outlook Express...". This message is NOT from Microsoft and the "patch" is a DANGEROUS VIRUS. If you get such a message, trash it immediately and DO NOT open the attachment.

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


Featured Website: Introducing a Dog to a New Baby

How will Max react when you bring home your new baby? Don't leave it to chance... be prepared for this very important introduction. Here's how, in an excellent article from the Family Dog Training Center.
Dog Health & Nutrition: Emergencies & First Aid

I hope you never, ever have to refer to this site on pet emergencies and first aid from PetEducation.com, but one never knows. Covers allergies, bites, poisons, toxins, temperature extremes, plus articles on such things as CPR, bloat, signs to call the vet about, disaster preparedness, shock, first aid kit, and more. A saver.
Dog Activities and Training: Good Dogs are Made, Not Born

From The Pet Center, the author tells us that when a dog reaches adulthood and we haven't stopped its bad habits, one of three things can happen: (1) we'll learn to live with the monsters we've created, (2) we'll get rid of it or (3) if we're patient, we'll finally begin to take control and train the dog. All three can be avoided by proper training in the early stages of a dog's life.
 
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!)
