on their crawl, this late in the game? I mean, aren't most of the foods off the market by now? It just seems an odd use of their crawl to me.

But I'm so tired I should be in bed, so what do I know?

6. What urinary tract food?
Edited on Sat Apr-07-07 11:22 PM by mycritters2
My cat is okay now, but was REALLY sick--bad kidney numbers, etc, about three weeks ago--well, in and out of the hospital for about 3 weeks. She had been eating Hill's C/D, but I've thrown it out. Now she's getting Wysong Uretic and Pet Promise Daily Health, and seems fine. Was your cat on C/D?

At any rate, I'm so sorry about your cat.

5. Retailers DO NOT have all recalled product off the shelves.
While the Joyners were shopping Friday, Johnnie Walker, 51, a Wal-Mart merchandise supervisor, appeared and began removing pouches of dog biscuits from the shelves.

Walker said he had removed the products earlier in the week, but clerks restocked the shelves overnight, unaware that the pet food had been recalled. "At night they didn't know better," Walker said. "It's just confusing."

Wal-Mart did not respond to a request for comment, but a corporate spokesman, Kory Lundberg, said the retailer has placed a nationwide block on all recall products at their checkout scanners as an extra precaution.

I'm glad CNN's trying to get the word out.

8. CNN probably wants to be THE network on this issue.
But there's no doubt that some people still have the bad stuff in their homes and are unaware that it's been recalled. So, I guess, if CNN's crawl saves one pet's life, it's worth it.
