Kuranda Dog Beds.
What our customers say: "I just thought I would write and thank you for making your wonderful Kuranda bed! It was so easy to put together, it took me no time at all, and before I had even tied the lambs wool bed pad in place, Harrison had climbed on and made himself comfortable! He is sleeping as I write this. I heard about the 'Kuranda Experience' from the 'The Straight Poop', and I've been looking forward to being able to give Harrison a warm, comfortable and supportive bed. He is extremely happy with the real thing! Thank you again, Kuranda. Bye for now, Emma Evans"

Visit the Kuranda web site at http://www.kuranda.com to find out more about these fine dog beds.

A Word From Frank:

The folks at Spotless Paw (see their Little Poop ad below) sent me one of their little gems. Never again will Katie's dirty paws mess up our house after our daily walks, particularly this time of year when the snow has melted and everything's a little slushy outside. I suggest you check it out.

Frank Fleischer
The creeps who create and spread viruses on the internet are getting smarter, nastier and more agressive all the time. If you're not protected, you're in trouble. If you don't have an up-to-date anti-virus program on your computer, you're a bigger fool than you think you are! (grin)

I recommend any one of three outstanding anti-virus tools: NOD32 at http://www.nod32.com, Norton AV at http://www.symantec.com or Grisoft's AVG at http://www.grisoft.com

I use NOD32. It's user-friendly, easy on your computer's resources, automatically and frequently checks for the latest viruses to protect against, and doesn't cost very much. Norton is the "old standby" of the industry, very effective, also updated automatically, but somewhat of a drain on your computer's power and for me, a little harder to understand and use. Also reasonably priced. AVG is free, but probably not quite as good as the other two. PLEASE... get one of them, or one of the several others out there.

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

Dr. P's Dog Training is such a comprehensive collection of links on dog training that some of the most useful sections on the site can easily overlooked. The section on Puppies alone is a gold mine of interesting and valuable articles and sites devoted only to puppy training... probably the most important dog training most of us will ever do.

Dogs in the News: Hooked on Fishing

From ESPN Outdoors, here's an article reminding us to be careful this spring and summer when we take Max with us fishing... he can be just attracted to the baited hook as can the fish.

Dog Books at Amazon.com

See best-selling dog books at Amazon.com, and search for other books and merchandise as well. The best selection on the internet. I shop there all the time, almost always finding just what I want and with great customer service as well. You can actually browse many of the books online with their "Look Inside" feature... check out the table of contents and some sample chapters, without leaving your keyboard and screen. A great way to find and buy books.

Featured Rescue Site: Journey's End Animal Sanctuary

http://www.rcall.org/index2.html

"Journey's End Animal Sanctuary provides lifetime care and shelter for dogs, cats, horses and birds that have been abused, neglected or have special needs. Rather than emphasizing adoption, Journey's End provides a homelike setting where animals can enjoy the remainder of their lives in a comfortable, loving atmosphere. Our sanctuary is located in Glenwood, near DeLand, Florida. We currently have capacity for 200 dogs, cats, horses and birds that have been abused, neglected or have special needs. We hope to expand our facility, with the help of public donations and generous benefactors."
