Taking Action.

Today i just wanted to post the response i got about the whole Chai story.

We wrote the company, because we were VERY angry and VERY hurt over what this company has been doing.

This is what they said.

"Thank you very much for your message.



Like you, Four Paws is deeply concerned about reports of injuries suffered by some dogs as a result of a manufacturing defect in some of our Pimple Ball with Bell toys.



We want you to know that we have stopped shipping these toys to our distributors and we have asked them to have retailers remove the toys from their shelves immediately and return them at our expense.



We have also stopped all shipments of the toys from the manufacturer, and we are sending Executive Vice President Barry Askin to personally inspect the manufacturer’s facility in order to make sure that the defect has been corrected.



We are also changing the packaging of the Pimple Balls to make it easier to inspect them for potential defects, and we are individually inspecting every one of the toys in our inventory in order to identify any that may be defective.



Thank you again for your message and your concern. Please be assured that the safety and well being of pets is our top priority and we are doing everything we can to make sure that this problem is solved as quickly as possible.



Sincerely Yours



Four Paws Products"


However, we've already called a few stores around us and not ONE of them has heard of a recall. The lady did say it could take about a day- but she thinks that they should've already been contacted about something like this.

So i basically told her the story. Now i'm about to tell all the companies i can find about this story.

We are very very upset and intend to contact the store again in a few days to see if it went through.

So far, no luck. But we're still trying.

Hai.

Mommeh saz didna feel like takin meh picshure tadeh. Saz, iz sad bout lots of tings.

Firs, dis whole Chai sing. Saz, iz so depressing dat a company wud allow dis to happen ta da aminals. Saz, we so innocent an good- no reason to hurt and punish us. All we do iz luf. Mommeh sad.

Den she remembers dat one tim she an friends try to get Petsmart to stop selling product called Biospot and Hartz products. Dem kill aminals. Petsmart saz "no can't." Still selling. pets still dyin or haffin real bad reactions where dem organs gif out. Bad products. Beans don't care.

If yoo want dis be a better place, must be good beans.

So, we sad no one wants halp each odder.

We grateful fur da cat blogosphere... keeps us reminded dere ARE good beans out dere. An yoo guys halp us be better beans an aminals, a caz yoo care here. Dat very good ting. Sank yoo all.

I also wanna sank whoever created dat Light a Candle page... mommeh really likes and enjoys lighting candles fur aminals and friends. Sinks best ting eveh.

Sank yoo all, but we canna post happy tadeh.

luf,
tesla

I still haz no nam for meh squillion. Suggestions?!


**UPDATE**

Thanks to Jan's Funny Farm i have just learned about a poor pup named Chai who had to have his tongue amputated after an incident with a ball. It's a Four Paws product. Because of this incident, i'm going to make sure that no one i know, EVER buys anything ever from this company.

I will make everyone know that its dangerous- and the way they spoke to this dog's family is inexcusable. Basically acting like the animal doesn't matter. However through threats of boycotting the product and company, they finally gave in. As far as i'm concerned, anything four paws in my house i will throw out, and i will continue to boycott their products. I will give NOTHING to a company that doesn't care at all.

We buy toys for our pets because we love them, not to maul them. This is heartbreaking, and i'm extremely upset about this situation. Please join me in not supporting such a company.

Its time for...

Sailor's Story

I waz gunna writes a different kind of bloggy, but tadeh mommeh wants to dedicate to da woofie. Stoopid mommeh. Here is mommeh now. I guess i can hand oveh meh blog fur ONE deh. Shhhesh.



This is Sailor before he got sick. I believe my friends only had him for a short time. He was rescued from a shelter.



My friend (and co-worker) and her husband had just heard of the shelter and decided to take a look. Well Sailor was really lucky. They were putting him down that very day. My friend couldn't take that, he was so sweet. They planned to just play with him - they allow you to play with the pets to see if you are compatible and so forth. Well, they just wanted to see him. And instead, wound up with a very loving companion.


He joined the family quite nicely. Fitting in as the middle child. A 50 lbs boxer mix, and a 2.8 lb chihuahua (the same one we pet sat and there are pictures of). The only real issue was occasionally he got diarrhea, and he was food aggressive. In which case they just separated him during feeding time.


Sailor was always my favorite. I love the other two... but there was something special about this one. he was just... he had the biggest heart. He was different. He would lay on your lap and be so content. A 60 lb beast laying in your lap showing you his belly. Now if thats not adorable, i don't know what is.


His diarrhea wasn't clearing up with different medicines, or food changes. Nothing was working. He was doing well for a really long time. Then, he started losing weight. On monday he weighed 46 lbs. You could see his spine, his ribs... he was panting like he was running a marathon all the time. Even while sleeping. Something was stressing his heart. he was really declining fast. This was all within the last 2 months.

He started getting more aggressive. bit the older one twice on sunday. He was in some kind of pain, and nothing was working to fix him. He was just deteriorating in front of our eyes.

Tests were done. xrays. ultrasound.

no answer. An internist called her on monday and said it was bad news. He wasn't going to make it. He was dying. Possible lymphoma, but even the specialist didn't know.

Exploratories were suggested. More and more tests.

Finally... she decided it wasn't fair to put him through it anymore.
Everyone agreed. All the girls gave him the best food we had in the clinic- he was being fed doughnuts, his mom's lunch (a burger and nuggets), another girls pop tarts, anything they could find and he would love.

The end came.

Her husband came. A walk around the building. Some time needed together. He was there, but wasn't with us for the procedure.

Me and my friend, and two doctors were there.

She held his head and talked to him, apologizing to him (although she did everything she could for him), and telling him how much she loved him.

I helped the doctor.

When it was over, we all cried together, and she and her husband left, completely heartbroken. I stayed to finish the rest.

I too was heartbroken. Its incredibly hard. People don't know, but when you know the animal, when you love the animal like we do... some of the techs that you stick with for a really long time- do remember please, its not just you. You're not alone. We lose something with our patients too.

I loved that dog, and it was horrible for me to say goodbye. I felt like someone smashed my heart. Another one of my favorite animals... gone...

The doctor helped me at the end because i couldn't do anything by myself. I was a mess.

We all cried today together. All of us are still devastated.


He just wanted to be loved.

The most important thing... he was. He was truly loved. We all loved him, we all miss him. Sailor... my dear friend... i promise... i promise i will never forget you.

"Big blue skies and an open field
My right hand on the steering wheel
Two young lovers runnin' wild
We bought string and a brand new kite
We couldn't wait to watch it fly
But it flew too high, it flew too high

Here comes the wind let your string unwind
Run as fast as you can in your mind
Back to a place that you never forgot
Before everything was lost
I don't remember when we ran out of rope
When we did we lost all hope
And we just stood there cryin'
That what's we learned about flyin'

So I took your hand and you took mine
And we waltzed together in time
But looking back I guess I didn't know
That I was in love and you were letting go
It's funny how your mind plays tricks on you
Seemed like the higher and higher we flew
You took off and I was made of stone
I was made of stone

Here comes the wind let your string unwind
Run as fast as you can in your mind
Back to a place that you never forgot
Before everything was lost
I don't remember when we ran out of rope
When we did we lost all hope
And we just stood there cryin'
That what's we learned about flyin'

Here comes the wind let your string unwind
Run as fast as you can in your mind
Back to a place that you never forgot
Before everything was lost
I don't remember when we ran out of rope
When we did we lost all hope
And we just stood there cryin'
That what's we learned about flyin'"
