The acquisition of Jungle Labs represents another meaningful step forward in our strategy of becoming a larger and more important supplier of specialty pet products. Jungle Labs has a strong track record of innovative product development and marketing in water and fish care and its line of products in this high growth, high margin niche complements our existing Tetra, Marineland, ASI and Perfecto aquatics product mix nicely. This acquisition will be a positive addition to Spectrum Brands' leading market share position in the global aquatics marketplace.

What were telling you is that if you have a pet or a guard dog that has the capabilities of doing what they did to my mother, that you need to be responsible in the way that you care for them and contain them.

We recognize that it's a big clunky thing to put in your store. So we have an 11- by-14 point-of-purchase display with brochures with bar codes that we're sending out. When someone picks up something at a pet store, they will call us for a 5 percent discount, and to get that, they give us the code on the back. Then we send $50 to the pet store for every new client. All they have to do is set the brochures out.

He is very fond of me, almost too fond. I could do with less caressing and more rationality. I should like to be less of a pet and more of a friend, if I might choose; but I won't complain of that: I am only afraid his affection loses in depth where it gains in ardour. I sometimes liken it to a fire of dry twigs and branches compared with one of solid coal, very bright and hot; but if it should burn itself out and leave nothing but ashes behind.

Here's my pet peeve: The not-so-unstated rule that all women are only to be treated as sexual objects and gawked at-you know, sitting up against a car, washing something, bending over, licking something. That just drives me crazy.
