Moses Lake couple offers freeze-dried premium pet treats

MOSES LAKE – Gale and Danny Wilson, owners of Treat Your Pet LLC, based in Moses Lake, went on a journey three years ago making freeze-dried human grade pet treats for dogs and cats. Their products include a wide variety of treats, and they offer them at the Moses Lake Farmers Market and expanded to the Richland Farmers Market this year. Despite high costs and fluctuating prices for the products, their business is growing, with plans to add another freeze dryer to the three they currently own to meet demand. They spoke to the Columbia Basin Herald at the Moses Lake Farmers Market on Saturday. The business idea, said Danny, sprouted after they bought freeze dryers to make fruit for their children and then began freeze-drying treats for their six dogs. When they decided to create a business, the first challenges presented themselves, most importantly licensing and Washington State Department of Agriculture approval, which took up to six months. Once that was completed, they were ready to launch their business.

Reader believes veterans and tax payers deserve better

"The gleaming temples of Democracy that tourists visit in Washington (D.C.), the marble shrines to great leaders and great ideals, are no longer an appropriate emblem for the nation's capital. Washington (D.C.) now is more aptly visualized as a grand bazaar - a steamy marketplace of tents, stalls, and noisy peddlers. The din of buying and selling drowns out patriotic music." (William Grieder, author, Who Will Tell the People: The Betrayal of American Democracy, April 1992.)

No headline

I find Barack Obama’s visit to the atom bomb museum in Hiroshima very offensive. His going there was an implied apology for our use of the atomic bomb to end World War II. We were not the aggressors in World War II. It was Japan who pulled a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor while their peace emissaries were in Washington. It was Japanese who forced the Bataan death march, and who cruelly tortured and starved hundreds of our young men they held prisoner. You think Abu Graib was bad? It was a birthday party compared to Japanese prison camps. I don’t have animosity to present day Japanese, but neither will I gloss over Japan’s past atrocities — which they have never apologized for!
