Some time ago I subscribed to the free emails from Wysong entitled "Wysong's 100 Pet Truths". Wysong was the first pet food manufacturing company, many years ago, that started publishing information about the myth that dog food manufacturers constantly marketed concerning "complete and balanced". Dr. Randy Wysong published a video and numerous written materials about the importance of feeding fresh food, not just commercial pet food, to our animals. As the years have passed, my confidence in this company has increased. Recently I asked, and was granted, permission to reprint these "pet truths" so from time to time I have shared them on my Knowing Dogs blog . Today's post from Wysong contained such great information that I decided to share it with my Poodle friends.

I was thrilled when Charlene Dunlap of Canine Horizons agreed to let me introduce her new addition to her Poodle family. If you have followed the blog, you have seen journal entries from in the past from the handsome and talented Joey (Kitsue's Calypso Kid). The adorable young red and white boy is Joey's new little brother Scotty (Kitsue's Calypso Kid). Congratulations Charlene and thanks for sharing these photos with my readers! As you can see, Scotty is already learning to pose for photos, both outdoors and inside in the training building where he is already training for future movie shots!

I could write a ten page article about why no therapy in the world is quite as good as Poodle therapy, but I think this photo of Rick Miles with his Poodle Houdini says it all! Have you ever rocked a human baby until it fell asleep on your chest? It feels a lot like that, except softer and curlier!
