Latest Diamond Pet Foods recall comes from a different plant?
Truth About Pet Food is reporting that the latest recalled foods have come from a different plant than the original recall.
Now I haven’t quite figured out how they can tell that, I’m not sure if I’m blind, or if they have information I don’t, BUT what is clear is that this new recall includes states that were NOT part of the original recall:
The product was distributed in the following states, further distribution through other pet food channels may have occurred:
- Colorado
- Illinois
- Kentucky
- Louisiana
- Michigan
- Minnesota
- Missouri
- Oklahoma
- Pennsylvania
- South Dakota
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Wisconsin
Note is also made that two of the recalled foods where MADE in Augest of 2011, and not bagged for one or two months later. And yet the “expire date” goes with the bagged date and not the manufacture date.
Production Code & Best Before Dates:
DSL0801, 26-Aug-2012
DSL0801, 26-Aug-2012
DSL0801, 27-Sept- 2012 (Product manufactured on Aug. 26, 2011 and packaged on Sept. 27, 2011)
DSL0801, 18-Oct- 2012 (Product manufactured on Aug. 26, 2011 and packaged on Oct. 18, 2011)
DSL0801, (Samples)
(bolding done by me)
Makes me wonder if we’re about to get a whole NOTHER list of recalled foods….

We got a counter surfer…
Friday evening Husband brought home a dozen donuts for us to split over the weekend. No we don’t need them, but we don’t do that sort of thing very often either. As of last night there were still 4 left in the box. As of this morning when I got up, the box was on the kitchen floor and the donuts where no where to be seen (don’t worry, the chocolate ones were long gone).
Pretty sure its Arty who’s the problem, Apollo is certinally capable of stealing stuff off the counter, but he knows better. Arty on the other hand has JUST reached a size where he can stretch up and grab something, and we haven’t been successfull yet in teaching him not to. And of course although Apollo might not START it, but he’s more than willing to “help” once Arty starts it. Sigh

I feel like a redneck
Over at The Adventures of Roberta X, there was discussion of the validity of combat boots as dress wear. I typed my comment/response. Hit post. And then re-read what I’d typed*. Oh well.
*I really did though, along with black jeans and a new blouse I’d bought for the occasion. Course, my “wedding” was standing in front of a judge in her home office. I refuse to spend thousands to notify the government of a promise between myself and my husband. My mother managed to restrain her opinion of my mode of dress, which is good, because my backup wear was a Tshirt that read “I’m out of bed and dressed, what more do you want?”.

Reverse PIN panic code….False
This is making the rounds again, I saw it a couple years ago as an email forward, now its on Facebook:
Unfortunately, as cool an idea as it is, its false.
Although the concept appears to catch peoples’ attention the attempts to make it happen never manage to get anywhere. All that putting your PIN in backwards will get you is an “incorrect PIN” message.

Rhubarb in containers? Bleg
So, my rhubarb isn’t happy. The stalks are barely 6 inches tall. I know what rhubarb is supposed to look like when its happy and this isn’t it. I suspect that its because the area where its planted tends towards being either REALLY wet or REALLY dry (yah, it wasn’t a good choice of spots, unfortunetly there isn’t much of a better one the way my yard is set up, there’s a reason I set up this year’s garden in containers).
I was considering transplanting it to a container, the (fake) half barrels I’m using for the rest of the garden this year are 25″ in diamater and about that tall…..so I hit Google. It looks like the big concern would be keeping it from freezing solid in the winter while still getting cold enough to go dormant. But I’m going to be looking at the same thing with the herbs I just planted, so thats ok…..I think I’ve come up with a solution for them, so whats one more container?
Any one out there have any experience trying it?

Diamond recalls yet MORE dog food
This time its Diamond Naturals Small Breed Adult Lamb and Rice.
The recall includes Diamond Naturals Small Breed Adult Dog Lamb and Rice Formula with the following bag codes and “Best Before” dates:
- Bag Code DSL0801 26-Aug-2012
- Bag Code DSL0801 26-Aug-2012
- Bag Code DSL0801 27-Sept-2012
- Bag Code DSL0801 18-Oct- 2012
- Bag Code DSL0801 Samples
I’m starting to wonder about Diamond’s record keeping. Surely it shouldn’t be THAT hard to figure out WHAT was made during the time period in question and just recall it. Whats even worse is they keep changing the recall information on the previously recalled brands. Every time I turn around the numbers that could be in the recall are larger and larger.
