Featured Dog Books: Little Poops: Administrivia: | | As Seen on the Today Show!  Dog's In! Dirt's Out! Before those messy paws track mud and dirt into your home and car or soil your clothing, use Spotless Paw™ to thoroughly clean and dry them. It's machine washable and dryable. So after you've used it countless times, it cleans up as easily as you clean your dog's paws. "We love Spotless Paw! Our dog runs through mud, rain, and snow and comes back to us covered in filth. Spotless Paw removes the water from his undercoat and the dirt from his paws before he comes into the house. Spotless Paw has not failed us yet. Thank you!" David S - Hartford, CT. Satisfaction Guaranteed. From A Trusted Sponsor |  | A Word From Frank:  Ever notice how easy it is to strike up a conversation with strangers when you or they have a dog with them? The other day Nonna and I were having a bagel and coffee at Noah's, one of our favorite haunts here in Marina del Rey, California, when a couple got up from a nearby patio table, each of them carrying a small poodle. Of course, we started chatting, and they told us a wonderful story about a friend who works with them at the For the Animals rescue organization in nearby Hawthorne. One Friday, seeing a Great Dane that was scheduled to be put down the following Monday, she decided to take it home for the weekend and give it a nice "goodbye" over its last few days on earth. Someone who lives on a farm dropped by on Sunday, and seeing the Dane, said, "This dog is the spittin' image of my Dane who just died. You can probably guess the rest... He took the Dane home, and now this gentle giant has the run of the farm. A nice story with a very happy ending. 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.
