In Reply to: Nutro Dry Cat Food Recall - JM
Nutro *Max-Cat* used to be one of the *good* varieties of cat food. (Had been recommended when I adopted my 1st Persian, who got diarrhea with canned food or fish-flavored dry food).
Oy, VEY.

Yes, but approximately 26 drugs were recalled in
yeah..probably the stuff they recalled. nm

My cat was a victim of their recalled food...
poor baby suffered for 3 days before we determined what it was and had to have him put down. They can keep their food...would they give it to their own animals?
You certainly weren't lying after
.
All we can do is speculate since we weren't there
Whatever happened or didn't happen, a young child is dead. Of course I've heard the opposite that he was loved very much by his family and that he was very close to his father. Again, that's speculation on my part since I don't know them personally.
They said they weren't available in my area...
I don't understand that at all!
Yes, recalled in 2007. This is a new recall, May, 2009. sm
Nutro was recalled during the huge 2007 pet food recalls. This is a new 2009 recall involving the premix formulation in some of their dry cat food. I use Wellness, Nature's Variety, and Newman's Own canned cat foods.
And I bet the divorces weren't her fault, either.

Pet food - is there a web site that lists all the foods being recalled? nm
Worried about my golden retriever. 
Yes, I saw your post, but my link includes all brands recalled. (sm)
I think it's really important for pet owners to be aware there aren't a lot of safe brands out there right now.
Recalled chicken strips (dogs) from Walmart
We had a bag of these chicken strips from Walmart, and CJ has been sick. Since Walmart has been keeping the recall quiet, neither we nor our vet knew what the problem was! I can only hope he lives!
His symptoms have been respiratory distress and vomiting. I'm really not too happy with Walmart right now. I mean, they were chicken strips!

Note that AquaDots has been recalled. I went into a KB Toys and found one on
they couldn't be stocked and pulled them from the back. I turned it in to the manager and asked him hadn't those been recalled and his eyes about popped out of his head and said that they had and thanks for catching it.
I'm concerned that you were typing & weren't watching your 6 yr old.
I had that problem with a neighbor, only they weren't caring
constantly barking. I would put water out for the dog and sometimes feed the dog because it was being neglected. Finally, when no one was looking I had the dog come with me and I took it over to my moms house and found the dog a really loving home. My bad? I don't care, I knew the dog was being well taken care of. The lady I gave him too just doted on him and he was no longer neglected.
Even though a dog is being fed and given water doesn't mean it isn't being neglected. Animal neglect is a form of abuse. If you call anyone, don't call Animal Control. Call the Humane Society or some other entity who can take the animal so it won't end up being put to sleep. It's not the dogs fault that the owner neglects him.
I don't think she was being curt. We've all eaten when we weren't hungry. SM
I don't think diet pills are the way to go. And I could never understand paying big bucks to Jenny Craig or NutriSystem for food when you can learn to eat healthy all on your own. I agree exercising and portion control are the way to go. I also don't think cutting carbs entirely out is the answer either. Carbs are brain food and energy food. Sure, you don't need go overboard on carbs, but your body does need them.
I used to do diet pills and stuff like that, but I had trouble with my heart racing (as high as 130 bpm!) and my BP skyrocketed and then I had a full blown panic attack because I freaked that something was wrong with my heart. After I finally got my panic attack under control, I realized that I was just poisoning myself with diet pills and diet soda. Even though I had lost weight on them, I cut it all out of my diet. I will not ingest artificial sweeteners at all. I do have an occasional Coke - Regular Not Diet, but mostly water and juices. I've lost about 30 pounds in the last year.
I need to exercise more, though and I just bought the Core Rhythms DVD. I haven't gotten it yet, but it's on the way and I can't wait. I love to dance and I think this might be a good way to get into exercise. I've got about 40 more pounds to lose, but I'm getting there. The big battle for me is fast food. It's so convenient and easy and when I'm getting the kids something, it's easy to just order me a little something, just this once...
I used to be slim and trim too, back in the day. You know, before the kids and 17 years of marriage. In the 80s, I was an aerobics queen! Remember when it was really popular? I had leotards with matching leg warmers and sweat bands, and had my ponytail on the side of my head! I look back now and it was hilarious!
well maybe if health care providers weren't flooded
you wouldn't have such a long wait time and wouldn't need more doctors. I would hope the government would crack down on such things like smoking and fast food if it took over the health care industry.
I see by your birthdate that you weren't trying to raise a family during the Regan years -sm
We were lucky, my DH never lost his job, but the town we lived in had about a 75% foreclosure rate with vacant houses and most of the businesses closed down.
We ate a lot of Hamburger Helper, mac & cheese, Rice A Roni, and Top Ramen. My 3 kids got their clothes and shoes at thrift stores, I went without. DH went without. We would have qualified for food stamps, but the state couldn't afford to have a program. Oh, and after Regan failed to get the school lunch program dumped completely he wanted ketchup declared a vegetable.
There was no question of me working - first there were no jobs, and second anything I earned plus some would have gone to daycare. Doctor and dentist visits were just about nonexistent because we couldn't afford insurance.
After that hellish 8 years things slowly got better until W, and wow, it's like Deja Vu all over again! Ain't it great?
