As if childhood didn’t last long enough, the Late for the Sky people have come out with Puppy-opoly, the little kid version of Dog-opoly. It, in turn, is the canine version of Mono-poly. Sense a pattern?   Getting it absolutely right, this puppy-themed version is aimed, surprisingly, at kids from five to eight. So there are puppy tokens, get stuck in the doghouse or obedience school and hoard treats rather than the far more demanding hotels and apartments of garden variety people-opoly.   And because it is for children and therefore has to have some educational component, the kids supposedly pick up lots of useful information and training tips. But education be damned, they seem perfectly content to be puppies gathering treats for as long as the game lasts. Which, as you know, could be sometime around forever.

When selecting a pooch, humans are apt to do the doggone dumbest things!  For example, we know of one utter imbecile who tried teaching French to an Old English Sheepdog puppy.  Obviously, n’est-ce pas, if you want a French-speaking dog, you should choose a French breed.   Duh!   Then too, they say if you don’t want to walk a doggy, the perfect breed for you is a cat.   After all, not for nothing is the author of this volume named Walkowizc!  Despite the Dummies title, though, there’s nothing idiotic or condescending about the writer’s advice.   Clearly written and well-organized, this For Dummies book delivers with keen insights into breed characteristics.  You certainly never ever want to adopt a particular pup just because your kids think it looks irresistible, staring up with those “Take me home” eyes.  No, no, no; a thousand times no.  You rather want a dog that’s a felicitous fit for your household.  This book arms you with the knowledge to meet that goal.

This book teaches you to accomplish precisely what the title says.   We smiled in recognition of the truth where, on the opening page, the author explains the ABC’s of “pack” behavior.   “If no family member takes the controlling position,” she writes, “the dog will dominate, and you will end up with a spoiled beast that will be difficult, if not impossible, to housetrain.”   The cover copy says that the method is foolproof; nonetheless, here’s hoping your dog is no fool.  The text is easy-to-read, no-nonsense, and, in our estimation, the housebreaking method described in it will work, if not in only seven days for all dogs.   Still, housebreaking a dog in just two weeks by using this method is a lot better than waiting for St. Swithin’s Day for him to be housebroken by no method at all or by some inferior method.

We wouldn’t want to use the truly naughty 4-letter word for poop here, but as any dog can tell you, (blank) happens.   When it does, if you’re at all normal, you don’t want to just leave it there for flies to buzz on.  So, if you have a yard, you might consider this Doggie Dooley Septic-Tank-Style (blank) Disposal System.  Basically, you dig an appropriately sized hole in your yard to hold the device, put in your dog’s (blank), add some water and Dooley Waste Terminator (an enzyme powder), and the (blank) gets liquefied.  The manufacturer cautions that the product will not function as it should in high-clay soils.  Comes in a variety of sizes.  The lid can be opened with a foot pedal, which is certainly just as well!

There’s a unique, tormenting desperation associated with the loss of a pet.  We’re not talking about going to that big plush doggy bed in the sky; we’re talking about actually getting lost right here on earth.   It can happen to the best of dogs; even to the best of micro-chipped dogs.   And it doesn’t just happen to them; when your dog gets lost, you’re lost too.  The ID Tag system gives you an extra layer of security, additional hope that your lost one and you will have a joyful reunion.  The ID Tag attaches to your dog’s collar.  Through its serial number, any person or organization that finds your missing dog can make just a small effort and find out who and where you are.  The ID Tag people, who work 24/7, are hooked up with a huge network of shelters.   No sooner do you report your poochie missing than an all-points alert goes out.

Do you feel that Saint George should have called the humane society instead of slaying the dragon?  If so, you’re our kind of animal lover.  Now, these doggy treats are not called Dragon’s Teeth because somewhere, a dragon is walking around with dentures.  No.  Rather, they are formulated so as to help a poochie maintain good dental health.  Tarter doesn’t stand much of a chance if a canine is munching on these.  The natural ingredients include a touch of real peppermint; bye-bye smelly doggy breath.  The biscuits also are chockfull of Vitamin E Tocopherols, had from sources like avocados and spinach.  And they are 17% protein, so necessary to muscle maintenance.  These delicacies are sold in one pound buckets.  For those more compact breeds, Dragonettes are a smaller-sized healthful alternative.
