Both Important: Grid Marks and Pet Food

I tested three different markers to see if I could safely put some grid
marks on the silver-colored cover I just made for the press board. I let
the sample marks sit for more than 24 hours before I tried pressing white
fabric on the tests. All three, the Sharpie Twin Tip, the Marks A Lot and
Carter's bled off onto white fabric. The next time I make a cover for the
press board (and I'm sure there will be a next time) I will stitch some
lines onto it before we mount it on the board.
The list of pet foods that could be deadly, both cat and dog food, is
growing. Go back to www.menufoods.com/recall/ and be sure that yours hasn't
been added to the list. Yogi thinks we should travel daily to get him a Big
Mac and fries until this is resolved. Polly

Sheesh. Just before I sent this post to you all, DH called our children and
asked them to check the list and assure that none of our grand dogs or
kitties were in danger from their food. The regular food for one of the
grand dogs (the convicted felon Yorkie) IS on the list. Was there
additional information about the warning? Naturally they won't feed the
little guy any more of that stuff - but are there any symptoms to look for
or anything? Polly

I don't remember all of the symptoms, but some I do remember are loss of
appetite & lethargic. I think sleeping a lot & nausea are also on the list.
You'd think they would list it on their website. I'm sure it's easily found
if you google though.

Talking to myself here. Yes, there are symptoms and yes you should get your
QI to the vet for a simply blood/urine test if you observe upset tummy,
excessive thirst, urination or lack of appetite or energy. The problem can
be treated if caught soon enough. At first, I thought the list only
contained store brands. It turns out that the pricey ones sold at the vet's
offices are also on there. Isn't that a kicker? Polly

hells bells, they are even recalling some of the stuff here in NZ cuz of
that.
its int'l now. no one is safe, not even here in clean green non nuclear NZ.
man that really bites.
i might start feeding my one cat only on what we eat til this is sorted out.
shes too old to have to be worry'n bout losing her cuz of bad catfood.
she prefers eating our food anyhow, lol. she does eat dry and canned cat
food as well.
every evening when we get dinner ready, she is scratching on the door and
meowing to be let in.
then she flys into the lounge where we usually eat in front of the tv and
rubs against our legs and does her 'i'm so cute' act til we give her some of
our dinner. i love her, shes so cute.

Howdy!

How about some wide-tip fabric markers, like the Micron Pigma pens
or one of these Y&C FabricMate pens? As they're recommended as
permanent, waterproof markers, good for making quilt labels...
maybe they'll work, if they'll stick to that wonderful silver fabric
(I do like that silver stuff on my ironing board, will have to find
another one).

Thanks for the reminder about the pet food. One company makes both
high-price and bargain foods, no discrimination, an equal-opportunity
problem.

I think that the expensive foods are made at the same plants is pretty
interesting too Polly. As near as I can tell we are safe here. I guess
having picky eaters might be a good thing. Well, cats are picky.
Georgia not really a chow hound and isn't too picky. Dh just asked if I
knew how many animals have really gotten sick and/or died. Does anyone
know that at this point?

we heard on our news last night here in NZ there were about 75 or 80.
not a lot for a huge country but if it is your pet who dies, thats one too
many.
we all love our pets thats why we have'em.
they're recalling here too.

Yeah, tonight's newscast mentioned that one of the biggest shocks from all
this is the realization of how many brands of pet food all come from the
same factory. They also mentioned some vet who is keeping a list on the
internet of pets who have died from the food. I guess the manufacturer is
attributing less than 20 deaths and his list is upwards from 200. I don't
remember his name though.
