The Straight Poop about DOG HEALTH

As the weather warms up, fleas seem to take notice and can be quite a problem in some areas. Here's "Complete Flea Control" by Dr. Margaret Muns, DVM, from bestfriends.org, telling us what to do about fleas on the pet, fleas in the house and fleas outside the house.

The Straight Poop about DOG NUTRITION

Does your dog eat grass? Mine does. I think she likes it just like we like salad. Here's some expert opinion on the subject. "Grass Eating in Dogs" from the vetinfo.com site.

The Straight Poop about DOG TRAINING and ACTIVITIES

This site is designed for kids, but this page has nine tricks that children of any age can enjoy teaching their dog. Our daughter, Elina, a university senior, just taught Katie how to shake hands and we were all so proud of them both you'd think she had taught Katie how to solve a calculus problem! Shake Hands, Turn Around, Crawl, Speak, Play Dead, Beg, Kiss, Roll Over and Take a Bow, from "How to Love Your Dog" at the Kids and Dogs site.

Something for Dad

I remember that when my dad was still here, every year I had a terrible time finding a good gift for him. (It was made worse by the fact that his birthday was June 13...double trouble). And my kids never know what to get for me. I have enough shirts in my closet to last two lifetimes. The problem is that almost everything affordable is usually ordinary and if it's special, it's often too expensive.

Well, my friends, here's something I know my dad would have loved to get from me and I know I would love if my kids got it for me. A beautiful rendition of Norman Rockwell's "Boy Meets His Dog". And whether you get it rolled, mounted on wood or framed, it's available from AllPosters.com at an affordable price. See the picture by clicking on the link below and you'll know immediately why Dad will love it, and you can easily go from there to the AllPosters.com site to see more and place an order if you wish.

The Straight Poop guide to DOGS in the NEWS

This story reminds us that buying a puppy in a pet store is fraught with danger...not only because the pup may have come from a puppy mill, but, as in this case, may actually be stolen property!

The Straight Poop featured DOG BOOK

Without question, the most interesting and illuminating book about dogs I've ever read was "The Hidden Life of Dogs", by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas. She's now written "The Social Life of Dogs: The Grace of Canine Company" in which she, as a trained anthropologist, shares her observations and insights into life in her home with its humans, dogs, cats, birds, etc.
