Unless someone kept the url, it's probably gone, as there is nothing here earlier than April 15. I wish there was an archive. If you see something you might want to refer to later, keep the url address, and you can still bring it up. Sue

Oh, I think that is "Boots" re-incarnated. I had a cat like that for 17 years and he was getting prety decrepit and one night I realized I was out of cat food and when I backed out of the drive to go to the store, accidentally backed over him. I wouldn't tell the kids what happened, I just told them he died. It was just too painful. Then later my DIN did the same with their cat that they had for a lot of years, and my husband slipped up and told them what had happen to Boots and nedless to say they were very surprized.

I THINK I may have found your old post - in kinda a backwards way. I realized a while back that our posts from here appear on Google. That worried me some cause when you post here, you kinda feel you know the people who will be reading it. Anyway, I typed in Baltimore Checkerspot and it gave me 67 pages of places to go. I went through those and found two by "berngirl" but not yours. Then I typed in Baltimore Checkerspot on Gardenweb and it gave me fewer, some of the ones I had already checked and others. I found one that was titled "Chelone Lyonni Hot Lips and Baltimore Checkerspot" posted by Zebz 7 on may 29, 07. Emmayct, you responded to that one a couple of times SO MAYBE that is what you are looking for? I didn't go any further to see if you had more but if you can't find it on here, go to Google and see what you can find. I have used this method a few times and have always found what I was looking for. Sometimes it just takes scanning pages to do so. Hope this helps others, too.

Don R, I absolutely cracked up with that thread you linked....and you started it. Big puckers.....now that is wonderfully descriptive. I can see it smooching up, like plants do on Plant Delights Nursery catalog covers. I'm including a link to a part of the PDN website where they might sell "ghosts of catalogs past".....incidentally, I save ALL their cat covers. Great humor, really neat art work for gardeners. Here is a link that might be useful: PDN Cat Covers etc.
