Bunches of news- not all of it good-
I am guessing that many of you may be going somewhere for this Memorial Day weekend-
Be safe.
Have fun.
Come home happy, (and very very tired)!
I have no plans that are set in stone, yet. Am thinking I will be going to DePere- to see the parade- This, depending on the weather- and depending on my back.
(As I mentioned earlier, I really AM getting to the point that those 2 things are related).
hehehe
After seeing the weather on TV this morning, I have decided that I will be mowing today. Tomorrow we might get rain in the afternoon, and I hate it when I have to quit mowing halfway though.
Rain, on and off, for Friday and Sat too.
I had my pain appointment on Monday and must go drop off my prescriptions this morning. A few other stops, then to scoot over to vote early so I don't have to time it perfectly for election day. Oh, and to get a new burning permit too. Sheesh! I'll be worn out before I even start mowing!
Hope you are all staying on top of Diamonds Pet Food recall.

ALSO KNOW that now (5/27/12) foods manufactured in Missouri are also recalled
My comment on one site, written to/about Diamond Pet Foods was this:
"Because of their [decent] ingredients, I have faithfully used either 'Taste of the Wild', OR, 'Natural Balance' for my dog (1/2 golden ret, 1/2 yellow lab)..
PS
After I do all of my replying to your comments on my blogs of late I do have still more news.
For now, it'll keep.

I am so frustrated that these dog food manufacturers can't continue to produce a QUALITY product- One that ensures the life of my dog, and also keeps her vet bills down.
I believe I now understand WHY I have paid [a bunch of money] to my vet as of late.
Get it right. Keep it safe.
I am off to purchase some people rice, chicken and hamburger meat. (From our local Maplewood Meats).
If you KILL MY DOG I PROMISE to do my level best to CLOSE YOU DOWN!"

Y'all have a 'wunnaful' Wednesday!
I'd best get busy for now-
Too much to do, and last I checked there were still only 24 hours in this day.
***sigh***
Love to all.

ReplyDeleteSarcasm? What's that?
ReplyDeleteAHEM.....
ReplyDelete"Bunches of news- not all of it good-:
And where is this news?
You know, I had not even thought about what this weekend was. I need to look at my calendar every now and then, huh.
ReplyDeleteI have no clue what our dog Biscuit eats. He is a picky critter. And some of his foods makes him gassy. Mind you, those that make him gassy, are the very ones he loves to eat. But for our sake, they get him one that is suppose to have different ingredients. I don't know the name of it since they always bring it home, cut the bag open and dump it all into the dog food bin. One kind they always got him could only be bought at the pet stores. I'm sure they more than likely heard about the bad foods, and then researched it. This dog is more like one of the kids and no one wants him sick.
I'll have to check with my daughter tomorrow and find out that brand name. Just in case she has missed the info on it.
I take it that Punk has gotten better. She looks perky again.

Now.

Sarcasm is a very necessary part of our language today. hehehe

I'll get there Sweet Pea-
ReplyDeleteI promise.
You know me, I have to ruminate about all things- so I am just trying to figure out a few things first..
Then I will blog about it all.

HAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteSweet PeachieBaby,
I am thrilled to know that I am not the only person in the whole world to not know what day it is!
If Biscuit has gas it is because he has an allergy to the grains in his feed.
Find some dog food that has only meat, and no grains added.
Corn, (too starchy- it is a cheap filler) And any type of wheat, are generally the worst culprits for gas.
When you buy him the food, MAKE SURE it is FREE OF:
Gluten, Wheat, Dairy, Soy, Yeast, Sugar, Sodium, Artificial Flavor, Sweetener, Preservatives and Color.
Make sure it is kosher too- (No pork, pork products)-
Same goes for any vitamins you give to the dog-
Plants/plant proteins are OK- And necessary as well.
After arguing with Petco manager to get my money back, I went to "Pulaski Warehouse"- They have a place in GB as well, and I like going there but generally Petco is much easier (access)- it is also closer.
Yesterday at that pet specialty food store- I found some food, made in Nebraska, with one ingredient is from Australia (I would guess).
This bag is "kangaroo and red lentils"-
The other is Evo a "red meat" bag.
I found this online earlier this morning as I noted the 'pea protein' was in the ingredients-
Pea Protein Improves Lipid and Cholesterol Metabolism
Italian researchers studying the ability of pea protein to affect hepatic lipid metabolism through regulation of genes involved in cholesterol and fatty acid homeostasis concluded that consumption of pea protein results in a "marked cholesterol and triglyceride-lowering activity." Further, that "pea proteins appear to affect cellular lipid homeostasis by upregulating genes involved in hepatic cholesterol uptake and by downregulating fatty acid synthesis genes."
Punk gets rice, but only when I have to make her food for her. Then I mix it with (NON-WalMart) ground chuck, cooked and drained.
Time will tell if I choose to cook for her from now on- These are dangerous times for our pets with respect to all the recalls.
And these are expensive times for their owners.
XOXO
Me
I cant get Arriba to eat rice or any good for him dog food as a matter of fact, all he will eat is gaines burger and nothing else will do. we will bbq on monday, with gas prices so high who can afford to leave State for only three days.....If I'm using gas to get somewhere its because I'm staying a week or more...lol I hope your feeling well enough to make it to your parade hon
ReplyDeletexoxoxoxoxox
Sweet Sweet Pamela;
ReplyDeleteI am thinking that he has never been hungry enough to eat the rice.
All in all though since the rice is a grain, he doesn't need it anyway.
Try canned pumpkin, add meat. "Made" in USA- (Not 'distributed by').
He might love it forever!
XOXO
Me
Good info
