some cilantro, basil, mexican marigold, and spearmint. The only one left of

those is the mint, and it is because there is so much of it, I think. The ones

it hasn't bothered is garlic, citronella, rosemary, and lemon balm(melissa).

Planted some sage and oregano, and thyme out front this spring, where he doesn't

go, very often at least, and always on a leash. Hope they survive being in full

sun in the SE Texas heat!

My unqualified opinion on pets and herbs (or other things that might be

consumed) is .. and I say this as both a dawg and kat lover .. that

dawgs appear to be a bit more selective in what they choose to eat .. I

have raised them most of my life .. had two kennels during that time ..

and this statement is based on my personal observations. Had dawgs that

loved tomatoes and garlic .. but wouldn't eat a cooked tater. ;-)

 

Katz though .. for some reason they like anti-freeze .. let some leak

out of a radiator and the rascals will lap it up .. and it can kill them

regardless of how many lives they have left. :-( Butch

Butch, I just had to grin when I read your post. Fiona is one strange

dog when it comes to eating habits. She loves my homegrown tomatoes,

cuces and fresh sweet pepper. Raw potatoes, raspberries (she tries to

pick them herself) and strawberries - yummy! She eates her new kind

of dry kibbles with great relish, even better topped up with some

cooked leftovers (oh pancakes -mmmmm). Cause raw meat isn't her fancy

at all, she just spits it out - if it's not ground beef.... Earlier

on she liked a raw meat bone, but now - she just sniffs at it and

walks away. But give her a smoaked pigs ear and she is in doggie

heaven, if it suits her at that time.

Fragrant Blessings,
