Several replies in digest

To Karin:

Karin, we are very sorry about your bunny, and you are welcome to share 
here about any loss, any bunny conquest, any funny bunny stores...  I 
personally think what you do is great, and bunny education, wild life 
education is welcome here in my opinion.  Again so sorry bunny didn't make 
it... :-(   This was your pet bunny?

To Daisy:

Daisy, as you get bigger more things on the counter will be in your reach, 
roasts, pies, ect, so don't waste your time on bred crumbs.  This will only 
teach your humans to be more responsible with their food and you will loose 
out in the long run.  Go Daisy!!!  What's next toilet fishing?  Surely with 
Marie and Nick around you shall get a chance at that?

To Yanna:

My blond or senior moment, the address is 
http://www.briergoldens.com/gidget070701.htm  I don't put a link on the 
home page for these pages because my web site gets so many hits daily and I 
don't want to deal with the available puppy enquires, more so than I 
already do, since our pup's are usually all spoken for prior to birth.  So 
it's my suggestion to book mark this page for a direct transport, we all 
know I make typo's a lot.   You are all welcome to share litter pages with 
anyone just please tell them that the litter is spoken for.

To Peggy & Patty,

Thank you for coming and for the brownies Peggy, did you notice we didn't 
share them? <grin>  They are great, George took 6 to work with him today... 
:-))  It was a fun day, and everyone seamed to have a great time.

To Everyone:

Anyone who wants blueberries, needs to come out in the next 2 to 3 weeks or 
they will be all gone, but the easy pickens are getting slim, so you might 
want to wear long sleeves and bring your clippers, the "patch" is over 
taken by wild blackberry briers. I leave on August 2 for my trip to AK and 
the next two weekends are sort of busy for me with that but if you don't 
mind that I don't visit a great deal you are still welcome to come pick and 
let your dogs run and be social...  I don't travel much so it's a 
monumental task for me to get ready for a trip.

Meat:

We are making a meat run on Wen. of this week, if anyone wants meat contact 
me privately.  Reminder, we do not have cold storage so meat has to be 
picked up same day.  George usually pulls in between 5:00 and 5:30 PM.

Flint River Ranch [FFR]

Those of you who are buying through IIene, need to stay with IIene, you 
need not switch over to me.  I just got my FFR stuff in the mail and I need 
to read it over.  I will call them also and check on shipping to Alaska.  I 
fear that there might be an extra charge for AK...

Any new FFR users can contact either IIene or I but please note we do not 
keep the food on hand it must be shipped via the company to each user 
directly.  Yes too on the web sites, ALL the sites you find for FFR are 
distributors.  The way FFR works is like this:  When  X amount of food is 
purchased the distributor gets a check form FFR for product purchased with 
their distributor code on the form.  We don't make a great deal on this 
just enough to cover time and trouble...  Plus there is a minimum that must 
be purchased before a distributor gets a check.  So it's not something 
IIene or I will make a "killing" on.  This is the only way the company 
distributes and by being a distributor we are insured that you are getting 
good service, sending you to strangers for nutrition information is well 
uncomfortable for IIene and I, which is why we are both distributors.

  In the beginning, long long ago before I fed raw, <smile> two years 
ago...  I was feeding FFR when Rocky got sick 3 years ago, I was not doing 
the distributor thing because I had too full of a plate.  Further research 
into nutrition led me to raw feeding and I dropped FFR.  When IIene started 
looking into better nutrition, and raw she found FFR to be a good second 
choice and she signed up as a distributor, hence I was referring to her, 
and after seeing how IIene was able to handle the distribution with great 
ease I accepted her offer to come in under her, so this is why those of you 
that are using IIene' number should stick with her.  The food is shipped 
directly from California  via UPS at no extra charge and you can get set up 
on an auto ship so your never out of food.  There are 150 cups of food in 
40# of FFR so it's easy to figure out how much you need to keep on 
hand.  The food comes in 2 20# bags so you don't have to open 40# at a time 
or lug 40# at a time around either.

So with that anyone who would like to move over to FFR please let one of us 
know, privately for signing up.  We have the forms avail though e mail and 
if you have a fax the order can just be faxed to FFR too or you can print 
the form and mail it to FFR too.  Very easy, personally I don't know why 
anyone would buy dog food any other way.  Plus the product is excellent, 
all organic, human grade ingredients, no fuss no muss, one product fits all 
stages of life beyond senior and even the seniors can eat the "maintenance" 
formula...

Ok I have to get a move on,

Gina
