I previously posted about getting Sara's raw. Kira is on dry, and I have a bag - bought fairly recently - so I'm telling myself I should be good. But I got more and more preoccupied with the idea that I'd like to have a spare. Before I lost Angel, I always had one and a spare, so that's not really a change - it's just that when I went to buy this last bag, I figured it would last much longer now, so there was really no reason to buy an extra that would just sit there aging as I used the first bag. But I started to reconsider that decision.
The store where I buy this food has instituted a curbside pickup policy - no customers in the store. So I drove up there to wait at their opening time. A gal came right out, I told her what I wanted, and she said she'd check to see if they had it. So I sat back to wait.
And here's the moment this story is about: As I saw her come to the door of the store with a bag of the food in her arms, I found my eyes tearing up with the relief of it! I hadn't realized how worried I was up until then. But now I should be good for at least a couple of months.
Also went and got a spare bag of bird food for my little feathered buddy. So now I think I'm about as set as I can be for the critters without giving in to hoarding. It's definitely a relief!
The army will be on the streets. Yesterday I went out to get a couple of things (normal shopping) people were everywhere queuing, HUGE queues. I only have so much storage space, just hoping I have enough to see and Mr D throughCats are like Potato Chips - you can't have just one
I was grateful that I was still stocked up on dry food from my winter prep but I did go buy some more cans. I have one that started losing weight and has been to the vet.
She ruled out thyroid and diabetes so I had a dental done on him. He is very picky at the best of times with his eating so I wanted a variety for him and I think he is picking up a bit of weight now.
We can adjust our eating but cats don't usually like change.
Yup

So far, all the states' "shelter in place" orders I've seen have included pet supply stores. I think they learned their lessons from Katrina - our pets ARE our family, and we don't leave them behind, nor require them to subsist on scraps!
