The Straight Poop featured WEB SITE

I've run across several dog rescue web sites, but none is more comprehensive nor kept more current than "Kyler Laird's animal rescue resources". It's not particularly pretty, but it sure gives you what you might want to know about dog rescue.

The Straight Poop about DOG NUTRITION

Katie loves ice cream, but I just learned it's no better for her than it is for me. According to Doctors Foster & Smith, dogs (and, surprise, cats too) are not able to digest milk properly. "Milk Can Cause Digestive Problems". Check it out at peteducation.com.

The Straight Poop about DOG TRAINING and ACTIVITIES

If you're serious about breeding your dog, you ought to be familiar with The Dog Genome Project, courtesy of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. A primer on modern genetics as it relates to dogs, it's interesting science even if you're not breeding your dog. It might also help explain how Barry Scheck helped get O.J. off!

The Straight Poop featured DOG BOOK

We don't usually present breed-specific books here, but when one comes along that will appeal to every dog owner whether or not they have the subject breed, we make an exception. This is one of those cases. Straight Pooper Anne Blair has compiled "Ratter Chatter", an anthology of Rat Terrier conversations. Real stories from Rat Terrier owners that will warm your heart whether you fancy a Chihuahua, a Great Dane, or anything in between. Highly recommended.

Get it for only US$18.95 INCLUDING FREE SHIPPING direct from the author (sorry, U.S. and Canada only):
