Hey and lotsa dooks and hugs to the kids !! Last week when I was in my local PETCO ( Portland, OR) I commented about there being no ferts. I was told by one clerk there that they had recently changed back to Marshall farms for their ferts (were Triple F Farms), and they were having trouble getting orders in. Add to that the recent deaths that a few of the stores were having. It may actually have been a blessing in disguise. Please understand that I still stand behind my local PETCO. The clerks there were very emotionally upset about the deaths. Several of them have fursnakes of their own and it took on a very personal meaning.
