"Duke" of NJ says "Bet you can't eat just one!" "Snuggles" of WA loves her Pizza Pups and Cheddar Cheese Wedgies. Available in 9 flavors. Any fresher and you'd be taking them out of the oven yourself. Bow Wow Gourmet Cookie Factory www.cookietreatsfordogs.com From A Trusted Sponsor |  | A Word From Frank:  It seems the older I get the uglier politics gets. It's really a shame, because our open, democratic system is what made us great. I have my favorite presidential candidate, but I acknowledge that his principal opponent is a capable and patriotic American who just happens to have a different outlook and different priorities. But that certainly doesn't make him the horrible, inadequate human being so many of the opposite party try to make him out to be. Why are the confrontational-style TV news shows like CNN's Crossfire so popular? It seems to me they generate a lot more heat than light, and most people hear only what they want to hear, anyway. Why are all the politicians and pundits so sure that their way is the "only" way. Why can't they give it to us straight, the good and the bad, and leave out the "spin"? Why not explain it to us, the common folk, and let us decide which is best? I have an idea. Let's figure out a way to let our dogs decide who will be the next round of political leaders. Sometimes I think they're much better judges of honesty, intelligence, trustworthiness and character than we are. See you next time. Wishing you a warm puppy 'til then. Frank | |

|  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.
