Would be DELIGHTED to have a little angel Shorty. He's always been pretty full of himself. We'd thought it might be low grade absesses. Shorty's feet have not been warm or pulsey. (I've been

Hi Judith. I'm not one of the 'gurus' but I can get you started. They really like to have a case history filled out. I think those are up and running again. We had something of a glitch going

Our two cents on Chastetree Berry: Alf has been on 2 tablespoons twice a day of CTB powder for a few years now, along with 1 mg. of pergolide/day for the last year. The CTB made him more
