A word from Frank: Well, yesterday was my birthday. I won't tell you how old I am, but suffice it to say that every U.S. President since Franklin Roosevelt feels like an imposter. It was a great day, regardless of being my birthday. Hope it was for you and your best friend, too.

The Straight Poop about DOG HEALTH

Every household should have a bottle of hydrogen peroxide on hand. Not only is it great for first aid for cuts, but did you know it can be used to induce vomiting? I didn't. This article tells you when and when not to induce vomiting if your dog has eaten something s/he shouldn't (with a list of substances), and a bunch of other useful pointers about things we shouldn't let Fido eat, including certain table scraps. "When Good Dogs Eat Bad Things", from Two Dog Press.

The Straight Poop about DOG TRAINING and ACTIVITIES

My friend told me "I'm thinking of taking my BC to a USDAA meet to become an MAD. OTOH, I may work with her toward an AHBA HTD3."

By the time he finished, I was ROTF.

After taking a look at the dog-faqs acronym list, you'll know the English translation: "I'm thinking of taking my Border Collie to a United States Dog Agility Association meet to become a Master Agility Dog. On the other hand, I may work her toward an American Herding Breeds Association Herding Trial Dog, third level.

By the time he was finished, I was rolling on the floor!"

Dog Fanciers' Acronym List, from the rec.pets.dogs FAQ, by Cindy Tittle Moore.
