Support the sponsors.

Chateau Le Pooch is back as a sponsor of JJ. Need to board your pets or need high-quality pet food, Chateau Le Pooch is the place to go. Get off at Madison exit, go down Hwy 463 towards downtown Madison, then take the last left before the railroad tracks. Get $3 off all Wellness pet food if you mention "Kingfish". Wellness is good stuff. I've given it to my dogs before and its excellent if you have pets prone to allergies. Dog scratches all the time? Eyes constantly draining? Constant sneezing? Dog probably has an allergy. Most dog food in the grocery store has corn, wheat, barley, grain, or meals as their main ingredients. The Wellness line uses oat, rice, meats or fish, or other vegetables instead of all that filler. Cost a little more but your dog won't eat as much. Over a six month period of time, you will spend the same amount of money and your pet will be happier. 601-898-8587 So all you folks in Madison that comment here about how much you like this blog and my discussions of Madison County, um, dogfights, support this site by trying out Chateau Le Pooch and Wellness.

If you are in Jackson, then just go try Olga's one time for lunch.

King, I feed my dogs Holistic Select. They both love it, but one, my 4 month old, occassionally chews his feet sometimes. I'm guess he's just bored and I should do more with him, but he's also shedding a lot these days. Is that just the heat you think? Or could he be allergic to the Holistic Select.

Also, my mom, who lives in Texas has a dog who constantly has hot spots. I told her to get better food but she lives so far from a specialty food store that's not likely to happen. Her grocery store has Flint River. Do you know if that would be worth it

He sells Eagle Pack at Chateau La Pooch, which makes HOlistic Select. SOmetime chewing feet will be an allergy. Might want to try him on a small bag of wellness or natural balance chicken/sweet potato or lamb/rice or fish/sweet potato.

If your mom lives near a pet smart, the Blue Buffalo fish/sweet potato pretty good for allergies. The larger bags are MUCH cheaper per pound than the six pound bag is.

Chateau carried Merrick, Eagle Pack, and Wellness. All good brands. Seen too many dogs lose their allergies after their owners took them off of the grocery store dog food and got some of the better stuff. And Science Diet is not a good one either. Check its ingredients.

I'd certainly support all your sponsors if I didn't live in Oxford. We've got two pet stores, one with nutro and the other holistic select. I may switch back to large breed puppy from nutro for my 4-month old. Chews his feet and scratches behind the ears. But we also just returned from the coast where both pups got torrmented by skeeters and ants, so I may wait another week before making the switch back.

I used to feed my other dog science diet, and she drained constantly. Within a day on holistic it had stopped. Food makes a huge difference.

I'm working on my mom. I think this post was fairly convincing for her. Just gotta find the nearest place for her to get the good stuff. Flint River looks good on their website and the store is a small two store chain that only has organic food, no science diet or iams (which her dog eats now).

Since your mother is remote she can purchase all these fine products online.

Next time I'm in Madison I will check out Chateau La Pooch! Thanks for telling us about it.

My husband keeps talking about Olga's and if you say it's good then we will definitely try it.

You mentioned Petsmart.. Has anybody else been totally burned by Bansfield? They quoted me $165.00 to fix my 6 mo old male Chow Puppy then called me and told me it would be $270.00. No complications, I had just been given the wrong price the week before. When I questioned them, they asked if I wanted them to stop! Those were her words, 'do you want us to stop?' I bout died...

Where does your mom live in Tejas?

La Grange.

Let me see, There is a Petco in Bastrop. They sell Wellness and Natural balance.

Lee County Feed in Giddings and Pet Station in Brenham both sell wellness. Baastrop Feed and Supply sells it as well. treats are pretty good as well.

She lives in Salado part time and Austin part time. But in Austin it's nowhere near a petsmart/petco. And because she's older, she doesn't like to drive far. She already has to chaufer my paps everywhere. The online order may not be a bad idea. Or my hermano lives behind petsmart and could deliver the food for her. But I'm convinced Farley's hot spots are a food allergy. She's gotta do something.

Kingfish said...

Gotcha. If Petsmart, the Blue Buffalo probably the best bet. http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2750074

Another good brand is Solid Gold.

my two 100 lb+ GSD both eat Blue Buffalo and it makes a great difference in their coats. Shiny as all get out. But they still have allergies, more in the summer. I think they are allergic to the type of grass we have. Again, Blue Buffalo has done wonders in other areas for them. There was an article on the NY Times yesterday or Friday, written by Jane Brody, about how all dog foods are pretty much the same with the exception of fillers. JJ has a really good point.

Anonymous said...

What I took from that article in the NYTs is there should be more scientific research about how different foods affect pets. But logic tells me the better the dog eats, the healthier my dogs will be.

I got the impression that article was haphazardly thrown together. Few sources and I think the writer was biased against better food from the get go. Probably didn't want to feel guilty about buying his dog Old Yeller food.

Kingfish said...

She's full of it. Except for the fillers? Um, its the fillers that are bad for the dog and make up all the grocery store dog foods. Its the fillers that usually cause the allergies.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
