“Jon and I
have been working together for many years. He plays a major role in the
development of the brand recognition of our Stain & Odor Remover formula.
In terms of reaching and educating the consumer no single marketing sales tool
available can reach so many targeted people, being as cost effective as radio.
A manufacturer can have his sales representative communicate their product’s
attributes to the distributor and to the retailer; however they cannot speak
directly to the consumer. Jon Patch has a special relationship with his
audience. We feel fortunate to be represented in the media by him.
We attribute much of our growth in sales and brand to the relationship we share
over the years with Jon. Please feel free to contact me to discuss.”

1.A tiny kitten handed to vets with appalling injuries has
used up one of its nine lives at just two weeks old....
2.They
say love is blind, and dog lovers are myopic that way. But seriously, did you
pluck out your eyes and stomp on them? That thing on your leash is all kinds of
wrong...
3.Some
dogs will try to eat anything - but for dogs like Toby, based in Afghanistan
with the military, swallowing things on the ground can be extra dangerous....

Problem: Your country has lots of elephants, and not enough pandas.

Stoned
wallabies create opium crop circles...
6.Cancer
accounts for about 10 percent of all human deaths. If you think that sets us
apart, scientists have news for you: Wild animals die of cancer at about the
same rate, and it threatens some species with extinction.
Vets thought the cat, which was handed to them with one leg hanging off, was
unlikely to survive emergency surgery.
He was brought in by a couple who said his leg had been trapped in a door and
they could not look after him any more.
The two week old kitten was far too young to be away from his mother, and he
needed life-saving surgery to remove the leg, which was extremely risky in such
a young kitten.
Four weeks later, the lucky puss - who has been named Tripod after his three
legs - has battled back from the brink of death.
The vet had not expected him to live and said he has been amazed by Tripod's
strength of spirit and his determination.
Never mind that you find yourself saying "My dog is cute!" all the time. Never
mind that no one will watch your mutt while you're away. Or that your friends
won't pet your pup. You can ignore the evidence. But you can't ignore the... Top

And the #1 Ways to Figure Out Your Cute Dog Is Actually Pretty Ugly...
Aliens have never abducted you because they see their compatriot is already
there.
Last week Toby ate what experts think may have been an explosive.
After ingesting the toxic substance when sniffing out Taliban improvised
explosive devices on the front line, he was picked up by a medical emergency
helicopter and whisked back to Camp Bastion.
Army vet Captain Matt Clark gave him oxygen through a child's mask during the
journey.
Toby was then treated on a drip with charcoal to soak up the poison and given
drugs to control the swelling on his brain, which was causing fits.
Just 24 hours after the incident, Toby was in good spirits. Army Vet Capt Clark
said: 'He's a lot perkier now thankfully.
He's had something to eat, he's had something to drink for himself so things are
certainly looking up.'
It is a desperate cry - or rather a very loud trumpet - for attention. Elephants
were painted black and white to look like the pandas who have stolen all their
fans.
The elephant is Thailand's national symbol, but the country has gone panda-crazy
since the birth of a female panda cub to pandas Lin Hui and Xuang Xuang at
Chiang Mai zoo in Bangkok.
Sick of all the fuss, keepers of the elephants decided to take drastic-action,
painting five of their neglected giants in watercolor paint, then parading them
before schoolchildren.
The stunt has resulted in panda-monium as the zookeepers try to draw the
country's attention back to its neglected giants.

Wallabies are getting stoned
on Tasmania's opium poppy crops and hopping about in circles.
Attorney-General Lara Giddings says wallabies have created crop circles of
squashed poppies as they increasingly hop in to the fields eating the poppy
heads. That causes them to get high and run around in turns creating crop
circles.
Tasmanian Alkaloids field operations manager Rick Rockliff said wildlife and
livestock which ate the poppies were known to "act weird" - including deer and
sheep in the state's highlands.
Tasmania is the world's largest producer of legally grown opium for the
pharmaceutical market.
About 500 farmers grow the crop supplying the market with about 50 percent of
the world's raw material for morphine and related opiates.
Cancer is one of the leading health concerns for humans, but we now
understand that cancer can kill wild animals at similar rates... according to
Dr. Denise McAloose, a pathologist for the Wildlife Conservation Society.
McAloose and her colleagues compiled information on cancer in wildlife and
concluded that cancer poses a conservation threat to certain species. The team
called for greater protection of animals and people through increased health
monitoring.
Cancer threatens the survival of entire species. For instance, the Tasmanian
devil, the world's largest carnivorous marsupial, faces extinction from a cancer
known as devil facial tumor disease. This contagious cancer spreads among devils
usually through fighting and biting. To save the species, conservationists are
relocating cancer-free Tasmanian devils to geographically isolated areas or
zoos.
The study suggests links between wildlife cancers and human pollutants, as well.
For example, beluga whales in the St. Lawrence River system have an
extraordinarily high rate of intestinal cancer - it is their second leading
cause of death.
One kind of pollutant in the waters, called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, is
known to cause cancer in humans. The compounds are suspected carcinogens for
beluga whales as well. Fish in other polluted waterways, including brown
bullhead catfish and English sole, also exhibit high levels of cancer.
Viruses are another culprit. In some animals, viruses can induce cancers that
interfere with reproduction. Genital tumors in California sea lions occur at
much higher rates than previously documented. Dolphins, such as the dusky
dolphin and
Burmeister's porpoise, found off South American coasts, are also showing higher
rates of genital tumors.
Other virus-induced cancers can affect an animal's eyesight or its ability to
feed. Green sea turtles suffer from fibropapillomatosis, a disease that causes
tumors to grow on the skin and internal organs. A virus is suspected to cause
these tumors.
Monitoring the health of wildlife can illuminate the causes of cancer in animal
populations and better safeguard us and them against diseases, McAloose said.
