| Dog Health - Chocolate Poisoning |
|
We've all heard it: "dogs are allergic to chocolate." Actually,
that's not such a bad way to think of it, and keeping your dog away from
any and all chocolate is a must. But it is a good idea to understand the
problem dogs have with chocolate, so you can be prepared in case there
is a problem.

| Cool Product of the Month - Dogs Murphy Bed |

This is one of the neatest dog beds we've seen in a while! Just like the classic Murphy bed for us humans, this dog version
folds down to reveal a comfy dog bed, then folds up against the wall when not in use. When folded up, the wood

| Dog Breed of the Month - Beagle |
|

Story - Lulu the Microsurgeon |
|
Lulu
was our first rescue Bulldog, and the joy
she brought into our lives was immeasurable.
There are many fond memories we have of her...
she was always the clown, and she was unbelievably
clever when it came to doing things behind
our backs. No matter what she got into when
we were away, she would always be snoozing
in her bed when we came home...
