PLEASE NOTE : E-mailing of Dog Tips may go on hiatus for a few weeks while I look for a new way to distribute the tips or convert it to a blog.  The Yahoo system is now limited the number of recipients
on my list, keeping me from reaching everyone in a practical manner, and the Yahoo representative I contacted was unable to figure out a solution.  Until a solution is found, please check the Robin's Dog Tip
index below for more than 200 tipsheets about a full range of dog-related issues.
