One Year Ago Today!
Well, my sweet Tasha ... today you have been gone one year. It seems like only yesterday that you left us in the wee hours of the morning. I have no words of wisdom today. I'm burning a candle and looking at your picture remembering all the years we had together. Oh Tasha ... we still miss you and not a day goes by without thinking of you. Have fun on the bridge today, baby! Think of your Mom and Dad if you can manage it? We will always love you!!!

Whistle Blowers?
Where are the Whistle Blowers?
Last summer, Federal Marshals seized various animal foods from a Petco Distribution Center due to unsanitary conditions at the warehouse. Filthy conditions at a peanut processing plant in Georgia are found responsible for 2100 recalls and countless illnesses. Where is the courage and integrity of the workers in these facilities? Did no one notice the rodent and pest infestation? It’s time for all to blow the whistle.
Recently a pet owner shared with TruthaboutPetFood.com her story of a rancid pet food purchased at Walmart. She took the time to follow up with Walmart, she contacted the pet food company, and she reported the incident to the FDA. Although I don’t know this pet owner personally, my guess is that like the rest of us, she didn’t have the time to make several trips back to Walmart, or spend an excess of time on the phone with the pet food company and the FDA. However, she did the right thing; she blew the whistle on a problem because she didn’t want other pets to get sick. S he’ll probably never know if her efforts will force a change in Walmart’s warehousing of pet food, but, she tried.
ABC Television produces an interesting show called ‘What Would You Do?’ Broadcast Journalist John Quinones hosts the show that observes how ordinary people behave in staged dilemmas. It is heartwarming to see how many people come to the aid of a stranger; stand up for or take action when the need arises. The television show leaves me in grateful tears, and proves there are many good people in the world.
Imagine if one of the employees at the Georgia peanut facility would have blew the whistle on the filthy conditions there; the result could have been drastically different. Local, State, and Federal agencies need to develop confidential means for employees to alert officials
to a potential problem within a company; and then the officials need to follow through on complaints. Furthermore, every warm blooded individual needs to take the time and report problems. Don’t stick your head in the sand; it’s not going away on its own. We need more whistle blowers; what would you do?
Wishing you and your pet(s) the best,
