Hi Everyone!

There's a lot of news happening this month, so let's jump right in!

1) Support your local independent pet business. Here's why...

2) In case you have not watched this recent documentary about the pet food industry, you may consider putting it on your list. Although Pet Fooled just scratches the surface of the processed food conundrum consumer's face, it is definitely worth a watch. I am a little disappointed that it completely skips the major players that have been fighting for healthier pet food standards since 1979 and jumps to an overview featuring our current YouTube darlings championing the cause.  For example, did you know that Dr. Wysong of Wysong pet foods is involved in a legal battle against the big pet food companies for false advertising? Also, it offers a very simplistic approach to product safety, like reading the list of ingredients. With that said, Pet Fooled is a good place for pet parents to learn the basics about the pet food industry. What I really DO like about the film is how they cover so much of the key points of a battle that has been going on since consumers first started becoming aware of the problems in the pet food industry in 2007. And, thumbs up to Dr. Karen Becker. Finally, here's a knowledgeable veterinarian stepping forward and busting the Prescription Diet myth that has had pet parents by the wallet for a very long time. Highly Recommend! Please, watch and share it with your friends:

Watch it on Netflix

3) Here's one reason why food labels don't tell the entire nutritional story. 30 Genetically modified produce items by-pass GMO regulation. Here's one of them:

Dear Pet Parents,

It's been awhile since I've published an issue of the PetProductDelivery.com News. Sorry, I've just been so darn busy! Here's what's happening this month:

1) Did you know that PetProductDelivery.com (aka A Peaceful Pet) has great reviews on Yelp? Thank you all so much! I feel blessed and would like to share:

2) Friday openings! Attention Pet Parents...I had a big grooming cancellation right in the middle of this Friday the 21st AND an opening this Friday evening, so...if you need an appointment soon give me a call: 832-549-1730. Really need to fill out this week. Thank you!!!!

3) Choosing the right vendors for our PetProductDelivery.com line-up of products is very important to me. Where our products are manufactured is just as important as what they are made from. Here's a video to illustrate that point. See what makes West Paw Designs special.

5) Something every consumer, not just pet parents, should read:

http://truthaboutpetfood.com/more-concerning-news-linked-to-glyphosate/

This article illustrates the point I have been trying to make for years that asking for "Human Grade" pet food is pointless, since our own foods are tainted with and, in many cases, made from chemicals that should not be consumed @ all. In addition to Ms. Thixton's suggestions in this article, I would like to add that we should all take a close look @ the products we use in our homes and in our yard. Any and all toxic products used in the environment eventually make it into our water supply and food chain. We can all be part of the solution. Don't purchase toxic chemicals including all pesticides and herbacides.

6) Meet the Breed: the Siamese

The Siamese is an example of a cat breed created to be protectors. They walked the walls like sentries and warned their masters of danger with their piercing voices! To learn more about this fascinating breed, follow these links:

Greetings Friends, Fans and Valued Clients;

It's time again for my annual blog featuring the goings on of me and my family. Last year, as you may remember, I adopted a skateboarding kitten. This year has got that topped with a whirlwind of family activity.

This is the first time that I have included dear J.R. in one of my updates. On Thursday he informed myself and his father that he is trekking from Houston to Phoenix on foot in search of buried treasure. X marks the spot, he says, of the exact location in the Arizona desert. He is sure to find the Titanic diamond out west, as well as a group of inquisitive aliens. (Actually, he is hoping to avoid the former.) We are all wishing him the best of luck!

In other news, my twin sister Debbie was training for a marathon when she blew out her retina on a morning jog. Ouch! All is well, however, as Debbie had surgery and is good as new. Her next project involves circuit training w/ the physical therapist she has been seeing for the last 10 years. Go Debbie!

Meanwhile, Uncle K is hiding inside his burglar bar clad home. He will not come out and insists to everyone that calls that he is actually living in Corpus Christi. This, he feels, discourages visitors. He is also in the habit of wiring small amounts of money to certain out-of-town relatives to discourage them from dropping by. I don't get it, but that's okay. Neither does anyone else. 

The kitties and I are patiently awaiting invitations to visit our dear friends that live on the other side of The Woodlands. They have an entire house full of relatives staying with them for the month including several from Australia! The newest addition is just a babe named after our big sister city to the south, Houston! The kitties and I can not WAIT to meet little Houston, but, as of yet, our invitations have not arrived. Oh, well. 'Til then we continue to while the time away by sitting on our balcony, sipping dandelion tea and enjoying entertainment provided by local barn swallows. Who needs to see a cute little Australian baby named Houston anyway?

That's all the news for this year.

Happy April First Everyone! ;-D
