Fair comment, but I would think a job such as yours has a resonably
comfortable salary attached to it, a lot of people are not in the same
position.  This is not intended as a flame, just a reminder that sometimes,
no matter how much we would wish otherwise, cash can be a deciding factor,
especially when we dont have it, and while we may be able to reach an
agreement with our vets for medical care, when food and litter inches ever
upward it upsets the often fine balance of the household budget, after all,
you cant spend what you physically dont have, no matter how important it
may be.
 
While I am here, has anyone heard about problems arising with the export
of Marshalls foods due to a USDA paperwork snafu?  Rhubarb and Custard are
really annoyed as they find Iams a bit of a mouthfull, Bubbles and Skweek,
while appreciating the Chicken diet also miss thier Marshalls.  Its been
over 3 weeks since I ordered it and is about 3 weeks since it occurred to
me that the delivery was late and it was time to chase it up.
 
According to my supplier (R&L Pet Products) its all down to this
documentation glitch.  Maybe someone from marshalls will see this and
comment?  Once it gets here I wouldnt mind betting that HM Customs and
Excise have a good time with it too.  Maybe I should send the Furotone
four out there to sort it out.
