The Straight Poop featured WEB SITE
Katie is a Siberian Husky--need I say more about her inbred ability and
desire to pull something across the snow? Nonna is the best darned
cross-country skier I ever met. And they love each other! All I have to do
is get Nonna to take a look at this web site, and I may see a lot less of
both of them this winter. "Skijoring - Cross Country Skiing with Your Dog".

The Straight Poop about DOG HEALTH AND NUTRITION
I've been asked several times to write here about pet health insurance.
I've searched for a site that compares the many plans available, but I
couldn't find one. (If you want to learn about the many plans, just do a
search on any major search engine or directory for "pet health insurance".)
Then I ran across this article by our old friend Dr. Roen of the Clarkston
Veterinary Clinic, in Clarkston, Washington (just across the river from
Lewiston, Idaho), who says, "Better to Play Poker Pooch than Buy Pet
Insurance". It seems this might save us the trouble of comparing all the
plans, and save us some money, too!

The Straight Poop featured DOG BOOK
Reviewer Jussi Bjorling writes: "Stephen Budiansky has written the smartest
book about dogs to come out in years. Rather than simply make observations
about the relationships he has witnessed between people and their pets, he
assembles decades of scientific research and archaeological evidence to
explain how the deep bond between people and animals came about, how dogs
and their owners have helped each other for tens of thousands of years.
Although the story is not always warm and fuzzy (people have put dogs to
many unsavory uses over the millennia), Budiansky still makes the strongest
case I've seen for the unique nature of the human-dog bond. A terrific
read, and incredibly informative. A fascinating mix of science and
insight." Published October 2000. "Truth About Dogs: An Inquiry into the
Ancestry, Social Proclivities, Mental Habits, and Moral Fiber of Canis
Familiaris", by Stephen Budiansky.
