A lot can happen in a year.

Nature's Variety Recall

Nature's Variety has issued a voluntary, nationwide recall of their Chicken Formula Raw Frozen Diets for dogs and cats due to risk of Salmonella. They've expanded the recall in the last few days to include the "Best If Used By" dates of 10/29/10 and 11/9/10, in addition to those marked on or before 2/5/11. Check the link for greater detail on the specifically affected products, and symptoms to watch for if your pets may have been exposed.

That they moved swiftly to test and recall their products speaks highly of Nature's Variety's commitment to the health and welfare of their customers. Read the message from their CEO here.

Happy Birthday!

Today is the second birthday of Chauncey, Josef and the lovely Lotus Blossom, so it seems a bit of reminiscence is in order.

Here are over 2 minutes of simple indulgence in fuzzy, 5 week old kittens playing.
