A Word from Frank: Lest we Americans feel alone in this frightening time, let's take a look at this heartwarming collection of photos of folks around the world expressing their sorrow. "America's tragedy is felt by all the world..." (Lots of photos so it may take a while for the pages to load, but definitely worth the wait).

The Straight Poop featured WEB SITE

This is a repeat, but a worthwhile one, because many of us forget about this great resource for information about dogs. The usenet group rec.pets.dogs has a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions, plus answers, of course) where you can find out just about anything you want to know about dogdom. "rec.pets.dogs FAQ Homepage", assembled, in many case written, and maintained by Cindy Tittle Moore.

The Straight Poop about DOG HEALTH

I received a message from a reader this past week that started off, "Recently our 7-year old Sheltie had to be put down after ingesting antifreeze..." This page reminds us that "while antifreeze works well for cars, it is deadly to dogs and other animals" and goes on to make we sure we understand the dangers and how to prevent accidents. "The Dangers of Antifreeze", from the American Kennel Club site.
