Pet Carousel Conducts Nationwide Recall of Beef Hoof Products and Pig Ears Because of Salmonella Risk

Company Contact: Pet Carousel, Inc 800-231-3572 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – December 9, 2009 – Sanger, CA-- Pet Carousel has initiated a recall of all Pig Ears and all varieties of Beef Hoof pet treats because the products may be contaminated with Salmonella. The problem was discovered after FDA testing found positive results for Salmonella in pig ears and beef hoof products. These products were recalled because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella can affect both humans and animals. People handling dry pet food and/or pet treats can become infected with Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the treats or any surfaces exposed to these products. Healthy people infected with Salmonella may experience some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Although rare, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments including arterial infections, endocarditis (inflammation of the lining of the heart), arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their health care provider immediately. Pets with Salmonella infections may become lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Some pets may only experience a decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected, but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed any of the affected products or is experiencing any of these symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately.

The 25 Most Awkward Cat Sleeping Positions — Part 5

Friday, April 13th, 2012

Do not try any of them unless you have skilled expertise with (a) sleeping and (b) being some kind of a cat. LOL!

21. The Bag of Limbs (Box Edition): Have a friend or loved one take you apart and put you back together haphazardly inside a box.

22. The Bag of Limbs (Couch Edition): Same as above, except (obviously) without the box.

23. The Dog Bed: Not a bed for dogs, but a bed that is made of dogs. I.e., the most comfortable bed you will ever sleep on that also smells kind of funky.

24. The Office Worker: Fall asleep on the job. LOL.

25. The Married Couple: Don’t be afraid to snore.

Do not try any of them unless you have skilled expertise with (a) sleeping and (b) being some kind of a cat. LOL!

20. The Mid-Sentence: Only recommended for individuals with extreme forms of narcolepsy.

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

Do not try any of them unless you have skilled expertise with (a) sleeping and (b) being some kind of a cat. LOL!

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012

Do not try any of them unless you have skilled expertise with (a) sleeping and (b) being some kind of a cat. LOL!

6. The Half-Box: Any old box will do, but two of your feet – preferably on opposite sides of your body – must remain outside the container at all times.

7. The Backstroker: Do not even attempt unless you have tiny, tiny, precious little legs.

8. The Sleeping Baby: Find a baby. Imitate the baby.

9. The Fur Pile: For this, you will need at least three friends who are not averse to your sleeping on them.

10. The Full-Box: Just get your whole body in there no matter what it takes. Be the box.

The 25 Most Awkward Cat Sleeping Positions — Part 1

Monday, April 9th, 2012

Do not try any of them unless you have skilled expertise with (a) sleeping and (b) being some kind of a cat. LOL!

1. The Full Situp: To achieve the full situp, you must begin with the genuine intention of exercising your abs and promptly fall asleep midway through the task. This position is extremely advanced and not recommended for amateur sleepers.

2. The Awkward Spoon: The goal here is not so much intimacy as it is the socially uncomfortable sharing of a physical space with someone. Bonus points if your arm falls asleep but you’re too embarrassed to move it.

3. The Semicircle: Tuck your tail between your legs and imagine that you are an omelet.

4. The Sunbather: The trick is to look like someone who is acting comfortable whilst also appearing extremely uncomfortable. Let’s take this excellent opportunity to coin the term “meta-comfortable”.

5. The Double Bed: You will need a partner for this one. The goal is not so much comfort as an expression of sheer, unadulterated greed.
