Sunday Evening Update

The lawn has been mowed, and the fertilizer/crabgrass control has been put down.

After the weekend's activities ... I am officially tired ... BUT ... after a nice hot shower, I am clean.

So, while Janice had run down to Highland Park Market for some goodies for tonight, I decided to log on to the 'net.

When I looked at the news on Google ... what do I see? Royal Canin USA said on Friday it was voluntarily recalling all of its dry pet food products . We use Royal Canin products with "the boys", so I was alarmed, needless to say. I knew we had a partial bag in the utility closet, but when I looked, it had been emptied into the normal air-tight bin we use for their food. Luckily, while Janice had thrown out the empty bag, it wasn't buried too deeply in the garbage can for me to fish out. I called their 800 number on the bag, and thankfully, was informed that our particular dry food (which is a prescription food to help Elwood with his urinary problems) is not one of those affected by the contamination.

I can't imagine the grief that pet owners (in our case, "staff") might feel if what they were feeding their beloved friends were actually what was killing them.
