** A NOTE FROM DONNA **

One of our readers has had quite an experience with her young dog who got
into some glue that was on a table. The name of it was Gorilla Glue and it
nearly took the life of her pup! Angel, the dog, had it all over her face
and chest and they had to take her to the vet to get it "ripped" off - the
clippers wouldn't even cut through it. If that wasn't enough for the poor
little gal, she wasn't eating and began vomiting (which is what the vet said
to look out for), so she went back in for x-rays which showed there was a
mass in the stomach and intestinal area the size of 3 grapefruits. Surgery
was required to remove it from the stomach.

PLEASE be careful where you store things such as glue. Even though it seems
like a safe place, you never know where your pets are going to be while
you're gone. They're like toddlers - you need to put everything out of
paw's reach :+)

When the vet called the company to report this, they said they had two other
similar situations. This stuff is some tenacious glue, so please be careful
when you select chemical-laden items for your home. Not every pet makes it
through like Angel did. Her mom was alert to her symptoms, and it wasn't
hard to determine what she'd gotten into since it was also on the couch and
pillow. That was quite an expensive tube of glue!

Have a safe week!

** SUCCESS STORY **

UNDERWEIGHT AND FUR LOOKING BAD

"I have five (5) inside cats and one (1) outside cat. Several of the cats
are getting to middle age and I was concerned about their health. One
especially is losing weight and his fur looks very bad. Decided to try
Flint River. I put a crock of Flint River down and a crock of their regular
"natural" food (Nutro) which I have been very satisfied with. It is too
early to see immediate results (been about three weeks), but I have filled
the Flint River crock at least five times and the Nutro crock is still half
full. The cat that I was concerned about has quit licking his fur and feels
a little heavier. I just have a feeling that this is going to be just what
they need." Sandra Coope
