The Straight Poop featured DOG BOOK A Word from Frank: In case you missed the suggestion in the news, we are now being given a new basic rule for living, to go along with brushing our teeth and washing up after going to the bathroom and before handling food or eating...wash you hands after opening your mail. Make it a habit. It could save your life. Yes, it's a nuisance, yes it's outrageous, yes it's depressing, but so are crime and war and late-night TV (grin), but we have them and life goes on. Just do it and keep on smelling the roses and petting your dog. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The Straight Poop Recommends SitStay.com SitStay.com is not just another everyday online pet supply store.

It's one thing to skip the healthy stuff and put unwholesome junk in your own tummy...your choice...but quite another for your dog, who is totally dependent on you.
