Nutro recalls some dry cat foods

"Today, Nutro Products announced a voluntary recall of select varieties of
NUTRO(R) NATURAL CHOICE(R) COMPLETE CARE(R) Dry Cat Foods
and NUTRO(R) MAX(R) Cat Dry Foods with "Best If Used By Dates"
between May 12, 2010 and August 22, 2010.
The cat food is being voluntarily recalled in the United States and ten additional countries.
This recall is due to incorrect levels of zinc and potassium in our finished product
resulting from a production error by a US-based premix supplier."

Home Sweet Home

Home again, recovering from jet lag and going through massive piles of mail, e-mail, phone messages.

Should be up and running again this next week.

Had a wonderful trip.

Everyone has asked for pictures - we won't receive the professional ones for about a month.
Maybe we'll get some from our family.

I'll have to sort through the pictures I took, not sure how much will be worth posting.
Much of our time was spent in museums where the light was low and flashes and tripods were not allowed,
so I expect a lot of my pictures will be dark and blurry.

I did take some photos of the Roman ruins that were outdoors, so hopefully those will turn out well.  :-)

Very happy to be with all my furry and feathered family again.

See you all soon!
