Dog Show meet Internet! An idea whose time has come! Not just breed, group and best-in-show competitions, but also mixed breed and fun stuff like "Costume Party" and and "Dog Most Like Owner". Got a camera? Enter Rover in The Virtual Dog Show.

Well, we goofed last week. We linked to a page and then forgot to upload the page! Here it is again. And it had better be right this time, because our face cannot get any redder! (Have you noticed how I say "I" when there is good stuff to say, and I say "we" when it's bad?). "We've brought you many interesting articles and web sites on the subject of dog food the past few months (if you missed them, check out our archives at . I know from mail that it has confused many of you. Me too. Here's the one place that deals with this complicated subject in a way we can all understand. It costs a few dollars, but it truly brings together everything you need to know about feeding your best friend, in an easy and useful format. We've put together some information about the book for you and a link to the publisher's order form."

And now for this week's straight poop on dog health and nutrition:

We're beginning a series of links to web sites of the manufacturers of some of the leading commerically prepared dog foods. We start with Natura Pet Products, Inc., manufacturers of Innova, California Natural, Matrix and Anmar. Attractive and useful site, with side-by-side ingredient comparisons.

Beware, dog breeders! Poo-Chi could put you out of business! "Hoping to be top dog", from the Chicago Sun-Times.

Katie usually obeys my commands, but sometimes she just looks at me instead. Anyone who knows Siberian Huskies understands what I'm talking about. Maybe I should follow the next link and find out more about this great training technique. "Gary Wilkes Click and Treat(r) Training"

Man's relationship with the world of dogs is not only universal, but also frequently all-encompassing, influencing how we live, what we collect, and how we spend our leisure time. Living with Dogs explores the multitude of ways that dog owners share their lives with their pets. In 26 delightfully written stories, a witty, admiring text, and 400 full-color photographs, the authors of The Sporting Life and A Passion for Golf capture the experiences of dogs and people--at home, in the country, in the city, and even at work, with a special focus on the nostalgic memorabilia that remind people of their devotion to their pets.

"Living With Dogs: Collecting and Traditions, at Home and Afield", available at 30% off at Amazon.com.
