On a more somber note, PetConnection has said more than 1,300 pets have been reported as deceased in their database. These numbers are self-reported, meaning people have submitted information on their pets to the web site. They have a blog that is updated with information.

I hope none of you were affected by the crisis and that all of you are in good health. Unfortunately, it seems my mom's friend's doggie was affected. My mom's friend put two and two together, and it perfectly explains why her doggie passed. And Ronak knows a cat who was affected. Sigh...

I sure hope everything gets resolved soon. My mom returned all my wet canned food to the store, even though the numbers on the bottom of the can did not match the recall numbers. She said it's better to be safe than sorry. She also said originally my brand of dog food was not on the first recall list, but they added it later, so all of you gotta check and RECHECK the list. So, for now, I just eat kibble and snacks. I cross my paws that things will get resolved soon and that no other dogs get sick from the bad bad food.
