MY ISSUES?

Bronx and I went for a little one-on-one time this evening 

with a good ol trip to the Pet Store. 

(OK OK... what "REALLY" happened was Mom waited way to long to get dog food and Bronx was on his last feeding.) I guess I didn't want to face the reality of PAYING FOR DOG FOOD. 

We were finally out of the 10 bags I obtained for FREE last year 

and I was beyond depressed. 

PICKY comes No Where Near the words I would use to describe Bronx the Crazed Puggle. This is literally the ONLY FOOD he will eat.

 PERIOD!

I scour the shelves for his bag and there is NOTHING to be found.   No little bag, No big bag, No other flavor...

WHAT is happening? 

I inquire with an associate and find out it has been DISCONTINUED...

NOOOOOOOOOO

This is my dog's LIFE LINE!

What do I DO NOW?

 I guess I get  back to finding an emergency back-up plan...

Just wanted to stop and post this recall information  I found for my DOG LOVERS out there. Hopefully you can not only protect your pooch, but also protect yourself from the headache of finding empty shelves like I did.
