I've never tried other herbs on her, like rosemary, thyme, sage... she'd probably love them. Jill |

You're in trouble now, he's acting like a kitten again! Mine did that after the appearance of Rhett and Scarlett, but not immediately. Shamrock was at first Mr Mom, Bonnie just hid. After a while, they all play like hoolies again. You had asked in another thread, and Scarlett and Rhett are now just over a year old. I was enslaved by them one year and 20 days ago. -- Cheryl |
