Dogs & Storks is an educational program for new & expecting families that have a family dog. The goal of the program is to provide families information and assignments that will help before and after the arrival of a baby. Along with the 90-slide CD presentation families receive ongoing support via a message board and free teleconference 5 times a year where they can ask questions as their baby grows.

Ask Curtis (the Canine Dear Abby)
Ask Curtis (the book), contains dozens and dozens of letters and dog-sense responses, including ones from a flea and a tick (the nerve of them!), as well as appropriate and pertinent quips, quotes & proverbs, "gee, I didn't know that" factoids, hints and tips, and letter-writer pictures. You can also send Curtis a question to which he'll respond and, with your permission, post on his site and possibly use in his next book.
