Oh man, it's hard to find the food we need for them; and mine will only eat certain things; she's even tired of Tuna. There has to be a way to get what people need and I've heard there is, but it's about money and power, like everything else these days.

Hello M.L. Kiser, Yes it is about money and power. i do agree with you. My order of my cat's food took 2 months to come to the vet. I have noticed that some shelves of the pet stores are half full or empty.Enjoy ytour day my cfriend.

Ouch! Those poor kitties -- a considerably fewer birds in the neighborhood I would think. It is becoming more difficult to get necessities and varieties in stores.

Hello Joe DiMino, yes i have noticed some of the items i buy are not on the shelves. The cat food I ordered two months ago came in May. I wonder how long the second order will take. Enjoy your day my friend.

Post Office took two months? Or was it the vet? At any rate, your anticipation was turned into anxiety. Glad the order finally came.

Hello Mike, When i checked with the vet, I was told it was on back order. I asked several times the same question. Then 2 moths lateer my order came. I hope I do not have to wait again for the second order. Happy Saturday. xxxx-oooo

Sometimes the "anticipation" felt better than the end product. It sounds like this might have been the case Darlene.

Hello Caren, I found it bothersome. I found the waiting for the order way too long a wait. Hugs.

Darlene, you have such a lovely air of mystery. However, I'm still really curious to learn more about whatever has a delivery time of up to two months.

Hello Lassad,It was on back order for 2 months. I think it came from over the border. |U.S.| So the back log grew longer. I got the pet food yesterday. I hope I do not have to go through this again. Enjoy your your day my friend.

Lovely sense of the mysterious Darlene. Great set up of "anticipation." Blessings dear friend. You have set up a wonderful guessing game. I'm guessing a kitten or a puppy. Blessings.

Darlene De Beaulieu
Date: 5/26/2022 4:34:00 AM

Hello Jenne, I orderd pet food for my cat. Every time i phoned the vet to see if the order was in ---I was told it was on back order. So I waited 2 months. It came yesterday. I hope the next order will not takke too long. Hugs.
