Go ahead. Guess my age!

If you guessed under 18, you're wrong!

That's because my owner feeds me only the best food. Life's Abundance Health Food and supplements were developed by Dr. Jane Bicks. My owner says it's the best because it doesn't contain anything bad for me, like artificial flavors, colors or chemical preservatives.

I like it because it tastes good.

For those of you who are having problems keeping your girlish figure in shape, there's Canine Zone. It works wonders for all sorts of problems, beyond weight control. All I know is that once you've tried it, you look and feel much better.

Still can't guess my age? I'm not telling. Remember, it's not polite to ask a girl her age!

A Word From Frank:

It dawned on me this morning that I've been doing The Straight Poop for three and half years now.My, how time flies when you're having a good time! I hope to keep on doing it for many more years, enjoying every minute of surfing the web, to bring you the best of all that dog stuff out there.
Frank Fleischer
To help me know better what to bring you here in the future, I'm doing a series of 5-minute surveys. The first one is at http://www.straight-poop.com/NewPuppyBuyingSurvey.HTM and I'll be most grateful to those of you who take a few minutes to answer the short list of questions. It will be a big help in planning for our future.

I've either listened to (remember radio?) or watched the Indy 500 every year since I was a kid, and I'm sure looking forward to doing so again this weekend. If you're addicted like I am, enjoy! In any case, a happy and safe holiday to you.

Please don't forget the survey.

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

The Puppy Corner: Bring Your New Puppy Home

http://www.etenerife.com/dogs/bringing_puppy_home.htm

Like most things in life, a good start can make a huge difference in how something new works out. So it is with bringing a new puppy home. You need to think about what equipment and supplies to have on hand, how to handle the car ride home, introducing little Maxie to your home and the people and other pets who already live there, getting to the vet, deciding what and how to feed and much more. From Tenerife, in the Canary Islands.

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"

http://www.detnews.com/2004/lifestyle/0405/22/e18-159132.htm

This feature article in the LifeStyle section of The Detroit News suggests getting a life-like doll and acquainting your pets with it before bringing home the new baby. Sounds like a plan to me!

So Your Dog's Not Lassie : Tips for Training Difficult Dogs and Independent Breeds by Betty Fisher

In this well-written, easy-to-follow dog training manual, authors Fisher and Delzio provide gentle, humorous advice for training "hard to train dogs." They outline specific training disorders and motivational techniques that will work with many breeds of dogs, and they advise common sense, patience, and diligence, especially when working with animals that were originally bred to display qualities of independence and dominance.

You can do some serious browsing inside the book, and if you like it, buy it, at Amazon.com.
