General dog stuff

Austin seems to be more dog-friendly than Dallas, but the DFW area has some resources.

• DFW Humane Society
• Texas Dog Fun
• silly dog fun
• Kong, perhaps the greatest animal toy ever invented.
• rec.pets.dogs.behavior. I urge you to killfile the resident kook, Jerry Howe. Every newsgroup has one (or more)...
• Super-premium kibble may actually cost less...

fun with your dog

• Texas dog parks, more parks in tx,
• dogfriendly.com, entries for Dallas.
• DFW dog events Addison dog park
. I've had some reports it's difficult to find, so here are some rough directions to get you near the place:
1. get to the intersection of Marsh and Belt Line. Turn south on Marsh.
2. turn left on Beltway
3. turn right on Les Lacs
4. turn right on Beau Park
5. turn right on Brookwood and park on the street.
6. on the west side of brookwood will be a sidewalk between the houses. Follow it.
7. turn left at the next sidewalk. Follow it; you will see the dog park up on the right about a block down.
Note the water is not always on, so you may want to bring some.

dog stuff on TV

• Good Dog U., a dog training show on Animal Planet. Recommended.
• televised AKC events
• Petsburgh USA, a Disney-produced pet show on Animal Planet. Brianne Leary may be the most annoying host ever. I think she needs lithium or some other meds.
