A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat Spring Gift Swap Rules, Players, & Gift Ideas

thanks for the info this is my first time doing something like this :):):):):))))

awwww mark... there will be another one, and it won't be long before we are ready for another tag...

On the topic of pets: my cat is quite picky and won't eat anything other than his cat food. No treats, no fresh meat, or mice, nothing other than Purina Adult Cat Food. The only problem we have is that this cat will get on the table, just to knock over our glass of water and lick it up. Leaves the food totally alone. Weirdo.

Also, just thought I should point out, I'm not a big "willy" fan. They seem to be fairly popular among you guys here though! I do like dragonflies and butterflies, if that makes up for it any.

I'm so excited. I can't wait to see who and get and then go shopping!

sarah, willy's grow on you, i promise!

and you know, i had a cat taht would only drink ice water if i was home. i'm sure he drank plain water when i was away, but if i was home, he wanted a glass glass of ICE water. goofy cat!

I guess I should have put that I have a Cockatiel. She is very neurotic and freaks out if I get her new things to put in the cage that aren't the same color as what was in there before. When I got her from a friend, she had a yellow scratching perch and when it wore out, I went to get her a new one, and I could only find a pink one. She wouldn't go over to that side of the cage for 2 days!! She does love to eat though and goes crazy over those seed sticks that hang from the top of the cage. I have 2 cats, one will eat anything(Mllie) and the other one(Suzie) will only eat cat food. I have two dogs, a border collie(Princess) and a German shepard mix(Rok), both rescued, and they love treats and toys.

wow jacquie, you have a menagerie like many of us! and i LOVE rescue animals. they are great!

i see the list is getting longer......i cant wait to see who i will get! the last one, (my first one), was such an adventure!!!!!!!!!!

LOL or send my parrot or Cockatoo a canary toy. That would be destroyed before I could say "here is a toy" They have destroyed metal trucks. LOL!!!

I am soooooooooo ready for my name!
