Kuranda Dog Beds.
What our customers say: "Having recently ordered and received 8 Kuranda beds for our small 8-run rescue I and the rest of the volunteers are amazed at how they have changed the dogs' dispositions. All they want to do is lie around! No more dog fights, just a bunch of lazy dogs hanging out on their beds. At feeding time one of the dogs hangs her head over the side of the bed to eat her food! I was a doubting Thomas for awhile but your beds are the best thing to happen to our kennel." Jane Galvin, Big Canoe Animal Rescue.

Visit Kuranda.com (http://www.kuranda.com) to find out more about these fine dog beds.

A Word From Frank:
Yesterday Nonna and Katie and I decided to take a day off and "stop and smell the roses". We took a two hour drive to a beautiful spot in the country, where there's an Ontario provincial park with miles and miles of trails through amazing natural stands of trees. A place where we could safely let Katie off lead, and boy, did she respond. The day was a wonderful "soul refresher".

The fall colors are just beginning to show. We're going to try to make it every couple of weeks through November so we can really enjoy the shifts from green through the yellows, oranges and reds. It's glorious.

I'm looking forward to all the holidays. Next week it's Thanksgiving Day here in Canada where I live now, then on to Halloween, American Thanksgiving, Chanuka, Christmas and New Year's Day. Lots of good stuff about dogs and the holidays coming here. Keep watching!




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