Cannot abide wastage, but everything was locked down, and I couldn't give it to the local shelter because they required it to be delivered and I don't drive. Plus covid rules, etc.


Pixie, have you not got a dog shelter/rescue near you who would be glad of that?

I have, and I phoned them up. They need it delivered to them and I don't drive. Its like 4 big boxes of Wainwrights, each containing 24 trays of food. I might get an uber and take them actually....its cheaper than a taxi. These boxes weigh a ton.

That's a pity, you'd have thought there would be someone from there that could pop over and take it. Is it far?

Not really...about half an hour in a car. Covid, plus lack of staff etc makes life difficult for them I suppose. I'll get over on Monday and drop it off.
