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"

A Word From Frank:

J'ever suffer writer's block? I'm sitting here with Katie curled at my feet, staring out the window at the beautiful blue sky and green trees, and thinking NOTHING! Should I talk about politics? Nah, half of you would hate me and that's no good. How about heartworms? Next issue, maybe. Computer viruses? Been there, done that.
Frank Fleischer
Maybe I'll just mention how much fun I have every couple of weeks searching the 'net looking for good stuff about dogs to share with you. Or how lucky I am in so many ways (great wife, great dog, great kids, great friends, great co-workers and an appreciative (I hope) audience.

Let's leave it with this thought... dogs are one of the very best things that ever happened to us humans, so let's cherish them, enjoy them, take good care of them and give thanks every day that we are so blessed with such wonderful companions.

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