Subject: I'm with Sara -- I let my crew have just about anything I do, ...
In reply to: S. K. Dixon 's message, "Re: Forbidden foods" on 10:17:58 10/30/07 Tue

(I'm with Sara -- I let my crew have just about anything I do, ...), of a 'healthy' nature (meaning that I, like Sara, save my flyers from any danger by making sure I've eaten every last piece of chocolate that exists, in this house! lol!). I can't say I've ever given my flyers distilled water, as does Steve. I figure that if the water's okay for me, it's okay for them, and thus they get tap water. But as Steve says, it's not particularly expensive to give them distilled water, so if you're so inclined, go for it! And because my flyers might be dumber than Sabrina, I don't pick wild mushrooms. Just a taste can kill a human, so I would not want to run the risk, with my guys. I give them store bought white mushrooms, or the occasional portabella.

BTW, I know many a dog that got into the Easter basket, and the worst thing that ever happened was the tears from the 'intended' bunny treat recepient!
