Free Republic

It is called The Texas Solution on page 21 and it amounts to an amnesty lite. It sucks that this was pushed thru.

This is a Convention of delegates for delegates in the Republican Party. Why should any politician get an automatic pass to go as a National Delegate above We the People of Texas as some sort of Party royalty or some such elitist snobbery. Bully for the woman who had the balls to do it!

He came on stage under cover of our newly elected State Reps who were being presented to us. He was not announced and gave a 2 minute speech and walked off stage. You could almost say he skulked on. By the time people realized he was up there, folks saw they would have been walking out on their own new Reps. He knows he is not wanted. Bryan Hughes should be selected as the new Speaker when the time comes. He is a solid conservative unlike Straus who is a liberal RINO

I believe my complaint was the first if not one of the first when I called them on Thursday, April 12 to ask them if it was normal for my dogs to be gulping water after eating their Venison and brown rice formula. I purchased the bag on Tuesday, April 10 and started feeding that evening and my 5 dogs went into the pet hospital on Friday morning, April 13 with varying drgrees of kidney failure. I called the company again on Saturday and at that time they told me they had had several other complaints about the product. I let my feed store know about the tainted product and on Monday morning, April 16, they went to the Natural Balance website and it showed the company was voluntarily recalling the dog & cat food. I then called the Dallas office of the FDA(which oversees a three state area) to file a complaint and the man told me that I was the first to complain on that particular dog food , dry kibble. I called Texas A&M and spoke to someone in their diagnostic lab of the small animal hospital and she read me an in-house memo(her words) that they(?) were still developing a diagnostic test for the dog food and were only accepting tissue samples from the kidneys and livers after a necropsy but not accepting any of the dog food itself because I wanted to have my own testing done on it. The veterinarian from Natural Balance contacted my vet yesterday and spoke to her about my dogs’ conditions and it seems to me they are doing everything they can to find out the cause of the problem although I don’t think I will ever use their product again. Anyway, one of my dogs came home yesterday but I still have 4 others in the hospital so be very careful.

I bought the Natural Balance Ultra Premium Venison and Brown Rice Formula dog food, dry kibble, on Tuesday, April 10 and today,Saturday April 14, my five dogs are in the hospital . The oldest and the youngest are the two most critical and may not survive. They are all on IV fluids to flush their kidneys and can’t come home until the kidney “values” are down to normal levels. This is not a joke and no exageration. We are sending food , blood and urine samples to a lab for testing to see what toxin may be present. Please pray for my critters that they may all come home .
