Stevia?

Has anyone tried growing their own stevia for sweetening?

Dog Allergies

Our two dogs, a Great Pyrenees and a Mini Dachshund, both have some kind of environmental allergy going on. The itching/scratching/chewing is driving us all crazy--especially them. The vet checked them over, no fleas (they're on preventatives). I cook for them....usually grilled or boiled chicken, and veges. Sometimes livers or gizzards, and throw a little oatmeal in, but no corn or wheat.

Since its both dogs, I can't imagine what it would be. The vet said give them benedryl. They've been on it for 2 weeks, and maybe a little temporary improvement. Going to try medicated shampoo. Allergy testing would be exorbitant, and we'd have to drive 80 miles to Louisville to get it done.

Who else has dealt with this, and what did you do that worked?

How's about a little break from politics?

And fun!

Where does your screen name come from? I'll start. "Bayard" is French for bay horse. My guy.
