A word from Frank: Today is Friday the 13th! Some people are superstitious about it, and are afraid something awful will happen to them. I'm just the opposite...some great things have happened to me on Friday the 13th, the first of which was my father's birthday. And the most recent is that this issue is the first one to go to more than 100,000 subscribers!

The Straight Poop featured WEB SITE

Tell every elementary school teacher and student you know about the "Kids' Corner" at the American Kennel Club site. To be used either in print form or online, it's a fabulous teaching resource for kids to learn to understand dogs, how to be safe with them, how to train them, how to love them, and to be entertained in the process.

The Straight Poop about DOG HEALTH

It's amazing how so many common things kicking around the house are potentially dangerous, not only to our pets but to us as well...things like adhesives, deodorizers, batteries, pesticides...the list goes on and on. Here, the Cyber-Bulldog Coalition tells us what to watch out for, how to use and store them safely, and what safe products to use as alternatives. "Everyday Products" by Sheia Dunn of Double 'D' Bulldogs.

The Straight Poop featured DOG BOOK

A great job of bringing modern psychological principles of positive reinforcement to the training of dogs. One reader, tongue-in-cheek, wrote, "This easy to digest book will of course help you be a better dog handler, but the ideas will also help you communicate better with people. Train your kids to pick up after themselves. Train your boss. By the time you finish reading you can train your dog to use the 1-click ordering on Amazon.com!"

"Don't Shoot the Dog" by Karen Pryor

Did you really think you would make it through this life without Snoopy in your closet? Tee-shirts, pet supplies, jewelry, collectibles, and much more, all designed to make you smile as you see Snoopy's adorable countenance. And stuff for other Peanuts characters too, like Charley Brown and Lucy. My only regret is that they have nothing with a picture of Pigpen on it!
