WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! FOUNDDDDDDDD

UPDATE  FOUND! SAFE AND SOUND 

6:48 pm SAT 6/29/13

Maryland Bichon Frise Rescue June 28, 2013 WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! One of our Rescue Dogs is Missing! Late yesterday afternoon, one of our rescue dogs ran away from the Unleashed by Petco in the Hunter Woods Shopping Center in Reston Virginia. She was last seen by a neighbor Friday afternoon at Hunter Woods Elementary School (2401 Colts Neck Road, Reston Virginia) running in the woods. We need as many volunteers to help us look for her as possible. She had surgery this week and was spayed- and we are very worried that she will get an infection, so time is of the essence! She is very scared and skittish- if she is seen, it is best to give us a call at 703-401-9551. We also need help putting up flyers- if anyone could hand some out at the Reston Farmer's Market tomorrow (Saturday morning) at Lake Anne, that would be very helpful. Please contact Sandy for a copy of the flyer. Thank you in advance for your help- if you live around Reston, please forward this to any neighborhood mailing lists or groups, or forward to your friends or neighbors. We are very worried about her health! So any effort would be appreciated!  Sincerely, Sandy Morris Maryland Bichon Frise Rescue

Hey Dowiii, someone stole your name. Now you know what it feels like.Rolling my eyes. ... momma stole my name... I think this Dori is very cute. Maybe you should write to her and invite her to come and spend a weekend with us. Us. Not you alone. After all, you do want her to know you have your very own family. (I don't want anyone laying claim to my Dori! She can be really lovable...except when she talks diet...) And it's so strange that this Dori shares even your middle name! But Dori, you are the only one who counts to me. Xoxoxo 'Vie

Go Peanut!

Wordless Wednesday: "the Phumph"

"Phumph" is the low grown whine, moan that tells the hoomans that you are out of patience and unhappy.

This is Wordless Wednesday not necessarily SILENT Wednesday.

So... here it goes. JD "phumphs" when his meal is even two seconds late.  Late is a subjective call. You understand that.  If the kitchen smells good, then his meal must be LATE. PHUMPH!

I phumph when I feel ignored. Really, I am overflowing with cuteness.  I out-Disney Disney and you dare to walk by me without so much as a coo, kiss, belly rub??? PHUMPH!

The Wendy. ANY stranger anywhere near the house is enough to cause Ms Wendy to PHUMPH!  Who cares if they happen to be doing yard work for momma. They need to be gone! PHUMPH!

What makes you PHUMPH!?

How to travel to Knott's Island

 First you find a lap.

A very good, comfy lap.

Then you get a belly rub and you nosh on a cracker.

Then you borrow a neck pillow and momma's hat.  You put the neck pillow under your head on momma's lap and the hat covers your face from the sun.  Make sure the a/c vent hits you on a slant.  You want cool not frozen. Then you nap. And you wake up all fresh and wunnerful.

By the way, are there knots in Knot's Island?

Jason Taylor
(513) 622-1111

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - June 18, 2013 - Natura Pet Products is voluntarily recalling specific lots of dry pet food because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

Salmonella can affect animals eating the products and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products.

Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.
Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain.

From the Orange County Register Natura Pet Products Class Action Settlement Of Innova, EVO, California Natural, HealthWise, Mother Nature & Karma Dog or Cat Food Product Class Action Lawsuit

Natura pet food buyers can claim $200

Lawsuit settlement entitles people who bought the pet food between 2005 and 2011 to make a claim

  

FROM REGISTER STAFF REPORTS

A federal court judge has preliminarily approved a $2.15 million settlement to a class action lawsuit against Natura Pet Products that alleges the manufacturer misrepresented the quality of its pet food.

Natura has admitted no wrongdoing in the case but considers a settlement desirable because it "will bring to an end the expense and burdens associated with continued litigation," according to court documents. Natura officials could not be immediately reached for comment.

Class-action members include all U.S. residents who purchased any Natura product between March 20, 2005, and July 8, 2011. These products include Innova, Evo, California Natural, Healthwise, Mother Nature and Karma dog and cat food.

The lawsuit, filed in March 2009, alleges Natura's website and labeling contain "a large number of misleading and false statements relating primarily to assertions concerning the human-grade quality of its food." The plaintiff alleged that these statements included such claims as "We only use ingredients you'd eat yourself," "All of our human grade dog and cat foods are carefully cooked and tested..." and "Natura's products use only human grade ingredients."

As part of the settlement, which U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel preliminarily approved earlier this month, Natura would stop promoting its pet food products as human grade, human quality or as something that "you would eat yourself."

Natura also would establish a $2.15 million settlement fund. The settlement fund will be used to make payments to class members, as well as cover attorneys' fees, costs and expenses.

Class members include all U.S. residents who purchased any Natura product between March 20, 2005, and July 8, 2011. These products include Innova, Evo, California Natural, Healthwise, Mother Nature and Karma dog and cat food.

Members may be eligible for a payment of up to $200. To be eligible for a payment, class members must submit a claim form, available at PetProductsSettlement.com, by Jan. 8, 2012.

A final fairness hearing is set for Feb. 17, 2012, at the District Court for the Northern District of California. At that time, the court will determine whether to grant final approval of the settlement.

Natura Pet Products Class Action Settlement Of Innova, EVO, California Natural, HealthWise, Mother Nature & Karma Dog or Cat Food Product Class Action Lawsuit

JULY 15, 2011

If you purchased Innova, EVO, California Natural, HealthWise, Mother Nature, or Karma dog or cat food products, you could get a payment from a class action settlement.

A federal judge has entered an order for preliminary approval of a class action settlement of a class action lawsuit against Natura Pet Products, Inc. (“Natura Pet Products” or “Natura” or “Defendant”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (captioned Judy Ko v. Natura Pet Prodcuts, Inc., Civil Action Case No. C 09-02619 JF), alleging, among other things, that Natura violated California’s Business and Professions Code when advertising their dog and cat food products and allegedly made false and misleading statements about the human grade quality of its food in its advertisements, promotional materials and labeling.

For purposes of the Natura Pet Products settlement, Judge Fogel certified a class of persons defined as follows:

All persons residing in the United States who purchased any Natura Product for personal, family, or household purposes (the “Class”) during the time period from March 20, 2005 to July 8, 2011 (the “Class Period”).

All Innova, EVO, California Natural, HealthWise, Mother Nature, and Karma dog and cat food products are reportedly included in the Natura Pet Products settlement.

A $2,150,000 settlement fund will be reportedly created by Natura under the class action settlement.  The settlement fund will be used to make payments to settlement Class Members, as well as cover attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, a payment to the Class Representative and the costs associated with administering the settlement.  Natura will also reportedly stop promoting its pet food products as human grade, human quality, or as something that you would eat yourself.  To get a payment (of up to $200), settlement class members must submit a claim form by January 8, 2012.

The Court will hold a Fairness Hearing at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, February 17, 2012, at the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, 280 S. 1st Street, San Jose, California 95113 to consider whether the Natura Pet Products settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate.
