  1. Too much pepper for you? No need for everyone to suffer, I'll eat it all.

I'm married, no children, but three cats and one dog (all rescued) fill out the household. And they *all* like to eat! <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b239/fantasy44/pickachef-spring2009.jpg"> <img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b239/fantasy44/pickachef-spring2009a.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> Thanks, SydneyMike! <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/pt-shutterbug-banner-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
