bruwin, i admit im not that savy when it comes to the financial statements. im totally lost with big caps and ok with micro-caps provided they dont have preferreds or cds.

here is why i originally bot the stock:

they have a good distribution channel:
ourpets.com

which expanded with the aquisition of PETZONE

also in a previous press release they stated:

OurPet's also announced that it has begun plans expand its facility from 28,000 square feet to approximately 60,000 square feet to accommodate the Pet Zone acquisition and provide for anticipated growth over the next few years.

which indicates to me that they are serious about growing this business

and earlier this year they made an addition to the BOD:

Mr. James D. Ireland, Chairman and Managing Director of
Capital One Partners and Early Stage Partners (www.esplp.com),
Cleveland-based private equity investment firms that
specialize in early stage and middle market companies. Mr.
Ireland has served as Chairman of Pet Zone and is a director
of Cleveland-Cliffs (NYSE:CLF - News) and other private-held
companies funded by Capital One and Early Stage Partners.
Prior to founding Capital One and Early Stage Partners in
1993, he served as Vice President in the Corporate Finance
Department of Salomon Brothers, Inc. and partner or managing
director of several investment firms. Mr. Ireland is actively
involved with numerous civic activities, including serving as
President of The Cleveland Orchestra.

Cleveland-Cliffs was rated by Forbes as being among Americas Best Big Companies.

i like what i see in terms of a small company aligning itself for future growth and i like to be invested in these companies when they are defining themselves so that if i am correct in my assesment i can ride them from pennies to dollars.
