Feeding time. Alfie waits until the everyone else is done, then comes in and cleans up, so he's out of the picture.

It is the time again - your rose orders for 2011?
Comments (47)I was also looking for SUMMER SONG last year. I was surprised that it was not in the Austin catalogue given its release date in the UK and was only available in North America through Pickering and Palantine. Pickering and Palantine had both sold out early. I tried to ordred this rose from Pickering on the first day they were taking orders and was told that they could not sell it to those in the US. I called the Austin headquarters in Tyler, TX and was told that this rose does NOT perform well in the US and that they had made the business decision NOT to introduce it here. I found this very odd and disppointing. I am aware that a few decades ago, they almost discarded some of the earlier Austin varieties (Tamora comes to mind) because they did not perform well in the UK and perhaps other European trial locations. Fortunately, they were planted at the Huntington Library gardens in southern CA, where they performed very well and these varieties are now available to us to grow. I was able to obtain a SUMMER SONG plant from someone in the midwest who had ordered it from one of the Canadian suppliers. It is now planted in my garden and it is already starting to show signs of growth. I am glad to hear that it is doing well for you, Beth. I am very much looking forward to seeing how it does well in central CA....See MoreNew Furbaby - First Time at Dog Park!
Comments (23)Pawsitive - Jamie didn't have any paperwork on Dexter except, thankfully, his last vet visit a couple of months ago, showing he is up to date on all his vaccinations. Thank goodness! Thank you, everyone, for your kind words! Jamie lived in CA (we live in OR) so we didn't see him much. However, whenever he visited, he drove up so that he could bring Dexter. Jamie had a girlfriend who asked if she could have Dexter for awhile after Jamie's death. As much as we wanted Dexter, we knew she might want him permanently. However, after a month she said she knew he needed to be with us, that Jamie had told her many times that he wanted Dexter near all his family in OR if something happened to him. Dexter was Jamie's child. He was well loved. We just feel so blessed to have Dexter in our lives. Caroline - My daughter, Rachel, and I have always loved pictures of Harry. Every time she'd see a picture of him, she wanted a dog. Now she has one! Sheryl...See MoreFurbabies: Life, Adoptions, Surgeries, Happy Times . . . and Now Loss
Comments (48)Awww, thank you all so much. It's getting a bit easier every day, but the hole in my heart still hurts a lot. Today was the first day I left Ronin and Sasha to meet a friend in town for lunch. The "kids" did ok while I was gone and we went for a nice walk when I got home. Today is the first day Emily has not called me from college sobbing because she's mourning her Chloe Bear. So, I'm hoping that she's healing now, too. Stratfordroad: thank you for that. I truly believe that we will, and since I've had dogs I've loved pretty much my entire life, there will be a huge, happy pack meeting up with me someday. That's a good thought to hang on to :^ )...See Moretrying again, I think posting is getting harder all the time
Comments (16)Kay, Green Rainbow did pretty well last year after planting in the spring, I am very pleased with it this year. Sherry, i liked Party Pinafore when I first saw it, and so happy to get it. It did not bloom its first year, and has not produced nearly the number of scapes as there are fans, but I do love the flower. Thank you Lori, thoughtI would put in at least one shot of a garden bed. I do have room for more daylilies, not the energy, although I could get rid of my iris, they really take my energy trying to keep the weeds down and constantly dividing them. Debra, I thought of you when I bought Christmas Tidings and Feliz Navidad, your pictures convinced me I needed more red. FN has not reached its height last year or this year, sure hope it improves. I think I am right at peak now, maybe just shy. Three or 4 of my early bloomers are done, others getting close. I still had quite a few that have not bloomed yet, but all but my really late ones should be opening soon. Maryl, I would love to know what that one is, but so many with that look. It is a nice height to me, about 32", 6" blooms, mid to mid late blooming. I was not sure last year when a couple of people suggested HOB, but some of the blooms looked spot on, and it was going through that stage when I posted my photos. I appreciate everyone's thoughts on my noid. Such a heavy bloomer, I wish I knew what it is. This year the blooms do not have a good clear, crisp look. The flowers do vary some, some with this darker, lavender color to a light pink. Some do not have the halo, so not very consistent, but still pretty....See More

9 years agoNot a furry friend, but a feathered one. He's ok outside often, but this summer he has been in a lot because of the heat. He's older, maybe 15-20 years. Formerly owned by a magician.

PRO9 years agoLOVE seeing everyone's beloved pets! Some gorgeous cats in these pictures!
Here are pictures of Shimmer and the late Godfrey.
Godfrey was a once in a lifetime dog and the love of my life. I lost this beautiful, dear boy 31 Jan 2017. He was 14 yrs and almost 3 months.
This is my adorable little tricolor girl, Shimmer! She is now 11 and just the sweetest, best little girl. Godfrey was opinionated and demanding and a total glutton and would sneak food if one blinked. She's a far "easier keeper". She's a dear, dear girl.
This is how Shimmer sleeps with me when the room is very cold. The window AC on the Vineyard made the room nicely chilly. She sleeps under the covers with her head right next to my pillow. At home, she has her very own little boudoir pillow. I forgot to take it with me to the Vineyard. Bad mommy! She's quite the little lady.

There's just something about that face and belly that gets me - it's almost like he's a little old man - and then there's the ears......

9 years agoI think Bartelby is a very old soul in a puppy suit. I find him intriguing.
I love all the sweet photos posted on this thread. I "liked" them all - but then I felt awful clicking "like" on the dear ones that have passed on.
Please know that I "liked" them because they loved you, and were loved by you, and the photos are wonderful. I am very sorry so many here have lost their wonderful companions.
And in the "love and be loved" category, here's my own dear heart, Harry, Harry the Perfect, "Iaccus vom Drosselbart." Santa's biggest fan. He loved his jingle bells scrunchy collar. He had an extra prance and swing to his walk when he wore it.

I know, I know. It's nauseating to act like you have the only cute pet in the world, but I can't help it. When we have to leave, we barricade one room in the house to keep him from peeing all over. Here he is, looking on, and barks as if to say: , "one day I will be able to jump over anything and everything and you won't be able to stop me"

My friend's dog who passed at age 14 just this week. Maya was such a beauty. It was a heartbreaking loss.
She wrote a poem as a tribute to Maya. Here's a little of it:
You came to me a self-made puppy, not a tiny creature waiting to be
moulded by my will.Your puppiness never took shelter in my love,
You never tucked a small head into my lap or my arms.
You and I were partners. I never owned you, but you stayed near me.
Once on a walk, you hung behind to see if I would wait for you, include
you.I challenged your independence and got in the car, started the motor...
Then realized you were still watching but not moving, not needy.
I stopped and ran to you, rubbed you all over, invited you into my
life.I said I’d never leave you behind, no matter who you were or what you
did.After that, you adopted me.
You grew strong and lithe.
You were vain and knew you were beautiful. You loved to wear a pretty
scarf or necklace.You laid with your paws out in front of you to show off their lovely
markings.You liked to be groomed.
You loved the camera and would pose for photos.

9 years agoOn the left is KC who, a little over 2 years ago, developed a blood clot that paralyzed one hind leg and while she was being treated at the emergency vet she had congestive heart failure and wasn't able to breathe outside of an oxygen tent so I had to have her put to sleep. Sad story I won't go into now. Last February I met the little 4 month old dude on the right (picture is when he was probably about 6 mo old) and (a long story short) and after a day or two, he came home with me. This is one of his quieter moments or as I call it, in "non-turbo mode". He can be... a little terror at times. Finally starting to settle down a bit. But not much.
