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:

The coming holiday season is dangerous for both human and animal alike. At Thanksgiving (as most Canadians can tell you from recent memory, with that holiday celebrated in October north of the border), we all tend to overeat, and, if you and your family are in the habit of feeding Fifi from the table, she'll likely get the wrong stuff and way too much of it. Please be careful about that.
Frank Fleischer

And then, we've just recovered from Thanksgiving, when along comes the "season", with tempting but not healthful (to both human and dog alike) foods surrounding us at every turn, new toys that delight the children but that can get Rover into trouble, decorations adorning our houses that can, if broken, be fatal to a pet, icy sidewalks and streets, alcoholic beverages wherever you go... the list of the dangers of the season goes on and on. Please be careful out there, folks.

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

Dog Health & Nutrition: Time to Winterize Your Dog

http://www.pooch.org/wagtales/1001.htm

As the late Harry Chapin's theme song went, "the seasons spinning 'round again, the years keep rollin' by"... alas, winter is about to visit us once again. For us it's easy... throw on a scarf, gloves, a warm jacket, perhaps some long-johns, but what about Max? Here are some things you can do to make sure he's safe and comfortable over the next few months.

This one's worth a giggle or two, but all laughing aside, maybe there's something here our communities can adopt. I guess the powers that be in Lyon got tired of stepping in you-know-what! From Yahoo News.
