Yesterday was a sad day for my ex-wife and I, we lost another one of our German Shepherd Dogs – Dana passed away peacefully at home with her remaining family at age 13 1/2.
Thankfully, I was able to spend a couple of hours with her yesterday, to let her know that I loved her, and to tell her that I will see her at the Bridge when that time comes. She passed away two hours after I left, I have a feeling that she was waiting for me to come, she has always been a strong girl, and I know that she would have wanted to give me the chance to see her one more time.
I will miss her sooooo much, she and I had a bond that was different from the bond that I shared with the others. A mix of our immediate bond when we rescued her, plus that our personalities are actually very similar – think last, act now, deal with the consequences later.
Sleep well Dana, I will see you at the Bridge later – I hope you and Krychek are back together again and causing mischief! 🙂
On the gardening side, I am still awaiting the Amaryllis’ bloom, but she is definitely ready to unfold and she looks like she will be gorgeous
The June bearing and ‘Lipstick’ variety strawberries are filling in very nicely. I decided to move the main June bearing strawberry planter back into the house as Mr. Squirrel is apt to eat a majority of any berries that remain outside long before they are ripe enough for me to eat. There are still a number of strawberry plants outside, so, he will definitely get a few – he is definitely welcome to them.
In other garden happiness, the hydrangea flowers are starting their first furtive opening and deliver the promise of beautiful blue and purple orbs of summer color!
That’s about all the new items in the garden, it has been a hell of a weekend, and I think that I will be calling it a night early.
Today’s parting shot: Dana on her final day, saying goodbye
HAPPY GARDENING FRIENDS!!!
