Re: Rosa 'Paul's > now ZD

The UT Trial Gardens are on the University of Tennessee campus...next to
the vet school.   They have kept two cats for a long time.  There is a sign
near the entrance explaining their purpose.  Someone keeps dropping off
roosters...one with a hen who had chicks...someone from the school
volunteered to take them.  The rooster was very sociable but made it
difficult when programs were being conducted.  He liked to speak along
which made it difficult to hear during outdoor activities.  Last week,
another young rooster showed up.   This could turn into an interesting
story...
