Rosenbush Cafe

The Milo Institute of Feline Well-Being urges all consumers to check the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s website to identify if you’re in possession of contaminated pet foods. There are links to stories on the affected foods, updated lists of products and telephone numbers for consumer inquiries. Our prayers to all pet owners who have lost cats or dogs due to these tragic and needless circumstances and to the souls of our fallen brothers and sisters in the animal kingdom. FDA

Sunsets are earlier now that spring approaches and Friday, March 16 was no exception. The end of another long week at the Cafe as I prepare for updates, new features and more pictures. This was also the last Friday for me going over the Warrior River from Tuscaloosa to Northport, Alabama to visit my 93 year old mother in the nursing home. She returns our home Thursday morning with a new sitter and hopefully a smooth transition. With Alzhemier’s disease, however, nothing is certain and I’ll share with you recent developments and explore the many facets of this dreadful disease and how I cope as her son and primary care giver in Cool Side of the Pillow.
