7/30 Atlas PMPS 50, +1 66, +3 71

[Beth & Atlas]

Hi Ya All Lantus Land,

Well the horrible humidity finally broke and we're out of that subtropical heat! Still it is 87F today, but man what difference without it being also 87% humidity!

Attie continues to chug along in the numbers arena. We've been doing a lot of the NV beef lately as that is his preference. He will eat the rabbit if he is hand fed, but ah...I'm not always around to do that.

We shot that 50 this evening with a 0.25 reduction. He seems to have hung below the 65 mark all day even with getting mini-meals all day.

As far as the basement flooding issue goes I attended the town council meeting. They are trying to see if they can get grants from the county and state to assist with the worst hit homes. Some homes are already making people sick and are unlivable even after cleaning things up. It is really weird. One person has come down with an unidentified bacterial infection and nearly died last weekend. They sent them home on an IV drip, but still don't know what the buggyboo is. The board of health is coming to inspect their home.

They said it was a 500 year disaster event. 5 inches of rain in less than 2 hours.

What great numbers for Attie!!

Some areas of Chicago are experiencing the same thing. Someone I know had a basement filled with backed up sewage. (Fortunately, his insurance covered this.) We had 8 inches of rain the other evening with 6 inches falling in 2 hours.

Good for him he had the insurance rider. Otherwise many folks here are being told take it up with the city.

Wow....lots of blue and green on his SS these days. Nice cycle and I see he's back to giving you those low PSs!!! Go Attie Go.

What a travesty about your basement and the associated health problems going on there. I sure hope all of you are ok.

Thanks for the info you put on our condo....very informative.

Beth....caught your second post on our condo. This is the info I got directly from Nature's Variety a few months ago on their Instinct canned cat food:

Marjorie,

On the instinct cans when we went to our new labeling we did indeed put the actuals on our labels. GA’s, by creation are given in minimums and maximums, which is the way we’ve posted them in the past. However, we’ve found that our consumers are more interested in knowing the actuals, for good reason such as special needs pets. As a result, we reanalyzed our levels for things like protein and fat and with the new change in packaging, we have taken the opportunity to change our label and provided the actual on the cans now, which accounts for the percentage increase you see. Our GA’s are still in min and max, but what you are seeing on the can is now the actual.

So in regards to your question, on the protein, say on the Instinct canned food.

PROTEIN As Fed per label = 11.0%
Dry Matter = 44.0%

FAT As Fed per label = 8.0%
Dry Matter = 32.0%

FIBER As Fed per label = 3.0%
Dry Matter = 12.0%

WATER/MOISTURE 75%

ASH As Fed per label = 2.206%
Dry Matter = 8.824%

CARBS in Canned food is Less than 3%

I don't know how they get all of them to be the same but ......
