Re: Theme Gardens, Tigger the tiger, suggestions please -Reply

Oh you guys aren't helping me one bit!  I just
had to have my big (17 lb.) orange cat
euthanized Saturday -- long, sad story.  He was
only 5 years old.  I cried all weekend and was
glad to come to work to get away from the
house where I'm always looking for him.  We
buried Spike in the cutting garden, under the
old rose Eglantine.  How long does it take to
quit looking for them, listening for their bell?  I
have another cat who is a comfort, but as you
know, they all do have individual personalities.

Hi Matt,  I know just how you feel; I just lost
my golden retriever, the
sweetest dog, with the sunniest disposition I
ever had!  He was also big for
a golden, over 100 lbs., and is buried by the
driveway.  I miss him.  It
does help to plan what I'll do with his gravesite
if spring ever really
comes!  I'm planning on predominantly yellow
and gold, because that was his
color, as well as his disposition, with a little
something else as an
accent.  Blue? Purple?  I'm looking for a shrub
that has gold colored
foliage year round. I can think of plenty of
yellow and gold flowers.  Any
ideas would be welcome.
