There is a new recall for dry dog food. The FDA has recalled Iams and Eukanuba due to Salmonella. For more information go to: Iams.com or Eukanuba.com or call Proctor & Gamble 800 208-0172.
Hmm, I thought Proctor and Gamble made toothpaste and cleaning products.

DOGS DIE AFTER BEING LEFT IN HOT CAR
I just can't understand why people leave pets in their cars on a hot day. They must love their dogs, because they bring them in the car. But if they love them, then they should want the best for them and being locked in a hot car is abusive and could be deadly.
Since moving to the Sacramento area, when temperatures can get to the triple digits in the summer, I have seen several dogs left in cars on these days. When I approach the owners they are defensive, say the animals are OK and to mind my own business.
There was a recent TV news report that dogs were being left in hot cars at one of the local malls. A very disturbing surveillance video showed a German Shepherd trying its hardest to try to escape out the window, that was left cracked a bit. It was panting heavily. The car was in the sun and the outside temperature was 102 degrees. The inside of the car was most likely over 120 degrees.
There are laws passed now and it is a crime to leave a pet in a hot car. But, there are hundreds of calls across the nation everyday to rescue pets.
In June, a police dog died in New Castle, PA, after his fellow officer left him for over two hours as temperatures reached 90 degrees.
It takes only 6 minutes for a dog to die in a hot car and a mere 4 minutes for it to cause brain damage.
Signs of Overheating in Pets: Heavy panting; increased salivation; dry mouth, nose and gums; weakness; vomiting or diarrhea, and ultimately, collapse.
Heat Stress Care: If you think your pet is suffering from heat stress, seek immediate veterinary care. As you wait for veterinary assistance, wet or sponge the animal down with cool (not ice) water. Take care not to get water in the mouth of an unconscious animal.
OVERHEATING KILLS!!!! LEAVE YOUR PETS AT HOME IN HOT WEATHER!!!!

WHAT TO DO WHEN BRINGING A NEW KITTEN HOME
To make an easy transition for your kitten, you need to be prepared before bringing it home. This time needs to be simple and stress free for the kitten.
You should also keep the kitten away from your other dogs and cats for awhile. It will have had a big ordeal already, taken away from its' mother and the only home it has known.
Before bringing kitty home, you need to create a "safe room". This will be a spare bedroom or bathroom with a cat bed, a cat carrier or box that the kitten can hide in, a water bowl and a litter box. You will bring it food 3-4 times a day and that will build trust in you.
Put an unwashed T-shirt or blanket, that you've used, on its' bed or hiding box so the new kitten can start getting used to your scent.
Right when you bring the kitten home, go straight to the safe room. Don't put the kitten down in any room, don't give it a bath and don't give it a chance to run and hide somewhere.
Don't give the kitten free access to any other rooms for at least several days or a week. It is best to introduce your kitten to one room of the house at a time, focusing on one or two new rooms a day. This applies to all kittens under 4-5 months.
This worked very well for me when I got a new kitten a year ago.

CHEMTRAILS - GEO-ENGINEERING, HARMING OUR PETS
Have you looked up in the sky and see the criss-cross trails coming from airplanes? The emissions coming down to earth from these planes are found to have large amounts of aluminum and barium. These are both toxic to humans, animals, plants and the soil.
To watch a documentary called, "What in the World are They Spraying?" go to:

Let your government officials know what you think about what this is doing to our world.
