Well said.

🚫⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ 🚫
❌ Every season these rawhide "treats" are available at several locations, but they are NOT safe for your pet‼️‼️‼️

❌ The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulphide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white "pure" look and remove the rancid smell.
❌ Now comes the pretty festive colors and the glue to form cute shapes.
On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium and formaldehyde.

❌ If that wasn't bad enough, they regularly cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue and CHOKING. The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.

⚠️ Please leave these pet safety hazards in the stores ⚠️
Do your research or talk with your Vet for ideas of safe treats for your pets. 🐕🐾

Veterans Day by Cheryl Dyson

On Veterans Day we honor all
Who answered to a service call.
Soldiers young and soldiers old
Fought for freedom, brave and bold.
Some have lived, while others died,
And all of them deserve our pride.
We’re proud of all the soldiers who
Kept thinking of red, white, and blue.
They fought for us and all our rights.
They fought through many days and nights.
And though we may not know each name,
We thank all veterans just the same.
