I’m loving this site! The color got me - who can resist bright red? I like the description of this book, too. Worth a read, for sure.
Hey, thanks for following me on Twitter…

Well I am a quarter of the way through…and really hope that people who were not affected by March 16, 2007 will read this so they can start to help “make a difference” not just with our pet’s food but ours too…At another pet owners’ blog I recently joined someone posted that if the “rice gluten” had entered the human food supply that more would be done maybe…so I do want to post a couple links to show what the contaminants were and did enter the human food supply…if more people really knew day by day (like so many of us —thanks to sites like yours)what was really going on I hope they would get much more outraged and involved…
I wish it were fiction!
