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:

Featured Website: A Pet is Part of the Family

http://www.thedogman.net/DogmanArticlesText.asp?ID=203

David the Dogman is an OK guy. In this article, he gives us a sort of Bill of Rights for our pets. I like the way it starts... "We have the right to be full members of your family." Take a couple of minutes to read this... your little friend will love you all the more.

The Puppy Corner: Proper Puppy & Dog Care

http://www.anticruelty.org/pet_info/pet_info_dog_dogpuppy_care.html

Bringing home a new puppy and taking care of it properly is no small undertaking and shouldn't be taken lightly. Doing it right will pay big dividends in the future in the form of a happy, contented pet and peace of mind for yourself. Here's a great rundown on how it should be done, from Chicago's Anti-Cruelty Society.

Dog Health & Nutrition: Giving Your Dog Medicine

http://www.healthy-dogs.net/givemedicine.htm

I remember what a joke it was every time I had to give Katie a pill. I'd put it in her mouth and it ended up on the floor. I'd put it in again and she'd spit it out again. This went on until we were both completely upset with each other. Then I ran across this article and pill poppin' time has been a piece of cake ever since.

Dog Activities and Training: Dog Activities

http://www.albertadogs.com/dog_activities.htm

From Alberta (Canada) Dogs, here's a great source of ideas on how to have fun with your dog, from agility to tracking (the list doesn't quite reach to anything starting with "Z"... maybe we should invent a new sport called "Zipdog" and then we could talk about dog activities from A to Z)!

Featured Dog Humor: Comic Strip

Red and Rover http://www.comics.com/wash/redandrover/index.html

Dog Books at Amazon.com

See best-selling dog books at Amazon.com, and search for other books and merchandise as well. The best selection on the internet, and at the best prices. I shop there all the time, almost always finding just what I want and with great customer service too boot. You can actually browse inside many of the books online with their "Look Inside" feature... check out the table of contents and some sample chapters, without leaving your desk. A great way to find and buy books and other items, as well.

Dogs in the News: Stars make tiny dogs latest Big Thing

http://www.cincypost.com/2004/09/11/dog09-11-2004.html

If you like small breeds, that's fine. But this Cincinatti Post article does a good job of setting out the facts about so-called "teacup" varieties... that they aren't a separate breed as many people think, but rather the result of inbreeding of runts and often represent huge vet bills just waiting to happen. If you're tempted, read this first to know the facts and potential problems before you jump.
