		<description><![CDATA[I used to pride myself in my love for bigger dogs.  A dog that is - well, a dog.  Pit Bulls have always had my heart along with Mastiffs, Dobermans, Rottweilers, etc.  I will use this as a place to express that I admit to loving little dogs too.

		<description><![CDATA[This is a legitimate question.  It&#8217;s the one we whisper to someone because it is a little embarrassing to admit that our dog finds it&#8217;s poop to be a delicacy.  There are ways to deter this behavior.  Not to worry - here&#8217;s a page taken from my &#8220;The Truth About Housebreaking&#8221; ebook.

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know how well received it will be to talk about wearing fur; however, this is an extremely cold winter.  I have found there is nothing quite like a &#8220;live&#8221; fur to naturally ramp up the body heat.  Watch the video and see if you agree with my recommendation.
