    You know what I don't get .... the pic of you in the kitchen .... those don't look like cloven hooves at all! Very clever! You are a master of disguise.

    And I also wanted to say that your girlfriend is a wonderful woman. I can tell by the hat :)

    I am a master of disguise. Somewhere I have a photo of myself in full-out pimp regalia (feathered hat and all). I'm not sharing that one though ;)

    Hehe....I can't pass that information along, unfortunately. I'm not entirely pleased with her love for U of M, my favorite school's arch-nemisis.

    The company that recalled tens of millions of containers of tainted dog and cat food Saturday night said they will take responsibility for what happened.

    Pet owners said they have some relief after Menu Foods pledged to cover any medical bills if it is found that its products caused the pet's illness or death.

    KITV's Catherine Cruz reported that one Hawaii native has a cat that she said suffered because of the company's cat food. Kelly Engles said she believes her cat's kidney problems may be linked to the tainted pet food.

    "I don't want a million dollars. I just want Bubba to be taken care of -- and the vet bills to be taken care of," Engles said.

    Engles said her 6-year-old cat was close to death just a few weeks ago.

    "I'm lucky I didn't lose him because others did lose their pets. I'm thankful for that part, but what kind of life is he going to have from here on out?" Engles asked.

    Bubba was diagnosed with failing kidneys after being fed a diet of wet food bought at Keeaumoku Wal-Mart, Engles said.

    "They matched the code numbers. I knew he had those actual products," Engles said.

    Now, she has a vet bill for $1,100, and while Bubba gained back some of his strength, he's not quite back to normal.

    "He wouldn't stand up on his own. He wouldn't move. It was sad -- it was just really really sad," Engles said.

    Bubba now must use an IV every other day for the rest of his life, Engles said.

    "If I take him to the vet to have the bloodwork done, and the IV and needles, it would come to $150 per month. I don't have that," Engles said.

    Engles said she worries every time she has to give Bubba an IV drip. Her cat doesn't understand this new routine, but Engles said keeping him hydrated is key to getting back to the life he knew before.

    As of Friday, Menu Foods said its recall includes any wet cuts and gravy style food packaged between Dec. 3 to March 3.

    Engles said she is talking to an attorney and is hoping to be part of a class action suit.

    Both the FDA and Menu Foods have updated their Web sites to include information about the recall.

    Stores are being told to pull all Menu Foods cuts and gravy pet food to check when it was manufactured.

    Consumers should stop feeding their pets the product and contact a veterinarian if they have any concerns.

    I read somewhere this weekend that the investigators are looking at the wheat source which apparently is someplace in China. The theory is that the wheat was exposed there to a common agricultural rat poison/repellant.

    I don't suppose you remember what article you read this in? If you do, could you post a link. Apparently, a plant in Emporia has been closed until Friday, pending the discovery of the source of the toxin. The employees are on unpaid leave until then.
