one time in the nearly 14 years I've had them. I wonder what was on my hand that was so enticing that day. She's never made biscuits, either. Martini makes them all the time.

Holly hisses at Martini, but I've never heard Martini hiss. She's too laid-back and go-with-the-flow to ever get riled up about anything.
