Really? More poisonous imports from China? This time it’s jerky treats that have sickened nearly four thousand dogs and cats, killing 580 of them. Add this one to the Chinese drywall that stunk and sickened people in 60,000 houses ten years ago, the 2007 renal failures of 500 pets from contaminated pet food made with wet Chinese wheat gluten… oh hell, who can list all the examples?

I quit buying jerky treats when a friend's husband who's a vet told me they are terrible for a dog's digestive system and now am so glad I did. I buy treats from my vets office (expensive, but hypoallergenic (my 8 year old Beagle has terrible allergies)) and feed them a rotation of good dry food with a little olive oil and chicken with brown rice, carrot and spinach. My 8 year old has the energy she had when she was a puppy and my 2 year old has never been sick a day in his life. A little obsessive, maybe, but I love these dogs to death as I suspect most dog owners do and a little extra effort and money is worth it to me. By the way, you guys should try to stay away from ingesting anything made in China too. Not being a nag, but I want you all to stay healthy too.
We buy Bil-Jac treats, they're made from chicken liver. We use Greenies Pill Pockets for giving them their meds. I make chicken jerky in my dehydrator for them, I have a heavy duty meat grinder and grind up fresh chicken breast to make the jerky, and form it with a jerky gun. They love it, it's good for their teeth, because anything crunchy helps prevent tartar, and the chicken is healthy. For their food, we have them on Hills Science Diet prescription food because they're Bichons and are suceptable to bladder stones. Our vet tells us when he dies, he wants to come back as one of our dogs.
This is exactly why I make my own dog and cat treats. Currently I am researching how to make my own wet cat/ dog food. Of course, I purchase Iiams, Eukanuba and Beneful, however I would prefer PittyPuppy and the kitties have "NOMS", sans the preservatives.
Doggie treat recipe please! Seriously. If you want, you can Email it to pojo and he can wipe your address or copy&paste it and forward it to me. Seeing as how you figured out all and got rid of all the useless stuff and have your own secret formula and all ;)
I'll be more then happy to send it to you Ghostie. Is it OK for PJ to give me your email Addy?
Sure, just be careful and play Obam-me "I know nothing" if strangers come asking questions about me, I made Crowley mad and he's after me.
OK bud, I'll send it to her.
You watch my back too, I'm getting nibbles and fishing, if I had to guess it's whosit.
I doubt it, I have noticed a big increase in the spam and phishing emails in my spam folder of late. I suspect it is related to the cACA law, since a good bit of them are concerning insurance.
Besides, when I send out mass emails, I always put the recipients in BCC, and erase all headers and email addresses whenever I forward an email.
I got your back Gohstie ;-)
Maybe we should have a Chinese official over hear taste testing every food item they send us.
I support this idea 100%. However the Chinese government has proven to not care a whip about their citizens. So it may not have the outcome one hopes. They may send an official they wanted to get rid of anyway.
And sadly we are finding out that OUR government doesn't give a damn about we the people either.
Especially since most of these "I'm too good for you to even look at my shadow as I walk by, you wretched plebe." high minded socialist and statist progressives believe that the world is heavily overpopulated and could do with a good pruning, of say 6 and 1/2 billion (with a B) people, or so.
I can agree with that, as long as they prune the 6 and 1/2 billion from the high minded socialist and statist progressives.
How many Muslims are there? The world would be a much less violent place of they were pruned.
Oh, then the list would be considerably shorter; like you'd only have to kill maybe three-quarters of a billion to a billion and leave the rest of us alone...just as long as the one who shall not be named is added to the jettison list.
Wow, I really like that idea. Rotate that job amongst the Communist Party officials and by golly they would clean up their act.
As things stand, any American who doesn't diligently weed out all Chinese products from his purchasing is being foolish. I will stand and read the fine print on everything I buy until I know it's not Chinese.
I kept having issues with chemicals in my body and my naturopath and I kept trying to figure out where the chemicals were coming from. They were making my body really susceptible to disease. I decreased the amount of time I cleaned, using gloves and try other cleaning products. After some time it was discovered it was the shoes that I buy which sadly come from China. The flip flops I wear all day long pretty much were the major culprit. So I chucked them out walked barefoot at home and bought a USA made flip flops two weeks after no chemical issues.
So yes from food to clothing... get rid of it if it is made in China.
We have gotten away from as much of the store vegetables as possible. Even though we have a super small lot, we have grown just about every veggie available. Meat is another story but its better than eating stuff that's grown out of country and sprayed with whatever they want. And we fell much better for it.
Wait, what's a naturopath and how do they know you have chemicals in your body?
There are several meanings all in all but the main one is that they use natural and organic supplements and whole foods to help people heal. Obviously it also involved physical exercise, massage therapies, chiropractic, heat therapy and other therapies as necessary or as the doctors specialize or they work with other specialized people. The main thing is to make sure that all used is natural/organic and that doesn't damage the body or add crap into the body. Obviously not everything will be cured and sometimes people are too old or too far gone with disease for change but it is a good way to get healthy and keep healthy in the absent of an ordinary doctor, however of course ordinary doctors aren't the enemy or anything.
As for how to determine what's in the body there are also several ways for them to find out. Mine uses machines, has me do specific blood/urine/saliva/fecal tests and he does what is called nrt to "read" me. He can tell me what I ate at least for a few days before without me telling him IF what I ate presents a problem or an allergy. So when chemicals are presents he can tell that they are in me and then it is a game of elimination of what the source can be. Like I said in my case is the shoes/flops.
You shouldn't be wearing flip flops anyway. Women should always wear high heels, short blue jean skirts, and halter tops. I keep writing my congressman but they won't make it a law.
I've been wearing high heels since I was 15, and I have no back or foot problems ( yet ). I will die in my heels!
I think the heels he is speaking of are the stilettos and such. I couldn't walk around with those all day long. On special occasions why not?
MMMMMMMMMM, let me think about this for a while. ;-)
HAHAHAHA
Hey, I thought I was supposed to be the pervert in this place.
Guess you didn't get the Tickle Me Emu doll (oil warmer included) for Christmas that was all the rage several years ago. Bummer.
That could be it. I spent way too much time in Bakersfield last year.
Maybe you've been going to the wrong emu massage parlours. The higher end establishments use oil.
Funny, I've never seen anyone put oil on an Emu.

as a PRO-vert…..you use the whole bird.
As a senior provert, you use an Ostrich.
Well don't lose your temper. You'll be in a peck of trouble if you do.
Unless I'm in a fowl mood.
You're not one to duck a challenge are you?
Ah go flock yourself... you're such a practical yolker.
Probably best not to egg me on.
It takes talon(t)
And if anyone asks you why, you say BEAK CAWS?
Yes JP, you are indeed the Pervert here. Of course those of us who have had more experience are referred to as PRO-verts.
But not to worry grasshopper, with much practice and patience you may yet one day reach that exalted status.
Just remember, as a pervert, you use a feather....as a PRO-vert.....you use the whole bird.
You guys are amateurs.
No, you're just the older of the 2 perverts here.
And you'll pay for my all my future foot and back issues bills right? lol High heels which I think you are speaking of are for special occasions only!
That's why God made men, to give women massages when their feet hurt. It's a balanced system: you wear the high heels and blue jean skirts, we get drunk and watch you walk through the infield at the NASAR race, then afterward we try to get you naked by promising a massage for your sore feet and back. It's like an ecosystem it's so balanced.
(Even I didn't know I was this wise.)
These insights into the male mind are quite educational.
These are invaluable to a woman so that won't happen... :-)
Oh shit I got a subpoena today. I bet they're gonna revoke my Man Card for revealing secrets. Pretend I never told you anything.
No Kimmy, Obamacare will take care of that! :-(
The heels you are thinking of aren't meant to touch the floor. ;-)
Best of both worlds poppa?

Ah man, I love it when she leaves her Choos on...
When you wear that football shoe, you're supposed to hike your skirt up.
I would get the boots just because they look pretty cute.
The first one is fugly. The second one I would wear on a date with a football fan to a game or something. However it wouldn't be part of my normal repertoire.
First thing I always mention to a model when they ask what clothes to bring to a shoot, high heels.
Ghostie, you have found my Achilies Heel(s). *SNORT*
OMG!!!! MUST HAVE the boots too ;-)

Everyone is entitled to a fault. *SNICKER*
He's a Giants fan from the saltine state, go figure ;)
Soooo, I know this was for Joe, but REALLY! I am soooo getting the shoes that look like footballs!!! And the other pair, well obviously I will require them for MY team, not the Giants! LMBAO!
Woah!
I see you are into the Halloween spirit Kimmy .... NICE!!!
Yes I was looking for a reason to use those avatars. :-)
We do the same thing. I hate buying anything from China, but it is hard to find everything from the USA. However it can be done. And that should have been HERE not hear.
It's tough. I read an article on salmon and now I know that "Atlantic salmon" doesn't gurantee anything except it's that particular sub-species. It could be labeled "Atlantic salmon" and be raised in a Chinese fish farm that uses drainage water from a cesspool. Farm raised salmon from Chile is all over the grocery stores and so far it's okay, but from what I understand the fish farms were built with Chinese money so how long before they start cutting corners and feeding the fish steroids, antibiotics, and DDT? So I buy "wild" Alaska salmon and pay about 40% more.
Still just suspected , there's no "smoking gun" just yet.
The FDA can't be bothered cracking down on Chinese pet treats, they're too busy cracking down on US companies who haven't paid the correct tribute to Quagmire's administration.
You don't really believe that PH, do you?

Naaaahhhhhh, nobody in our government would ever extort money from companies who don't give them massive bribes.
Tell that to Gibson.
Which evil democrat will be the first to come out and insipidly say that this is due to the Tea Party and the 13% shutdown of the almighty federal government?
Howie Dean?
Nanzi Pelosi?
Mayohead Wasserman?
Or some untern-donk?
