minor dilemma

[lucy]

I must be mental - just completed a 2 1/2 hour round trip, got completely soaked in a downpour and then a van drove through a puddle as we were waiting at a busstop so am muddy too. 

And no, Xanthe would not have starved had I not gone, but I now have enough food of all varieties to last until we leave for SA 

I may tell the local shop to stick their order if it does arrive.

You're a soft touch

PAH have the maine coon food in stock, it is an hour+ journey each way by public transport but guess what I will be doing this afternoon... 

If I end up with 2 bags I will put one in the boxes for SA.

[Susanne (urbantigers)]

I'd nip to pets at home or jollyes or somewhere like that (assuming there is one near you) and pick up a small bag of PAH own brand or JWB until you can get the royal canin.  That's assuming they will eat other brands.  If you have a jollyes near you, they sell a good range of the royal canin ones so might have the maiine coon variety.

You can buy it online at many places if you do a search but have only seen big bags on the couple I looked at and dont know if you would get them before the shop.

Royal canin maine coon, so not sold off the shelf everywhere.

What food is it?

[lucy]

Couldn't see anything small enough in local shop, would rather give her all wet food for now but she does love her dried so I feel a bit mean. I am also a bit cautious about giving her new food a couple of weeks before she has to fly to SA, I don't want her going with a funny tummy.

Could you get a small bag of Purina one or something in a local shop?

[lucy]

I have just run out of Xanthe's dried food. The local petshop, where I order it, promised it would be in by today but it hasn't come so now they are saying wednesday. 

What do I do?
1. Feed her pouches, mince and fish until Wednesday and pick it up then (despite having had a huge row and flouncing out saying I couldn't wait  )
2. Go on a major trek to get some tomorrow (at least two buses plus walks each way)

The other factor is that I only want one bag as am leaving for SA soon, so if I buy elsewhere do I have to still take the bag ordered from the local shop?
