Hi Nicole,
So sorry to hear about your Jack! :( He is such a sweet looking guy. Love his little black nose and chin.

Hope the garden club talk goes well.

Sorry to hear about Jack, tiffy. Cute lil fellow. He will undoubtedly love his garden.

Ditto on the good luck with your talk tonight!

Tiffy, so sorry about your loss. People who haven't had pets just don't understand the deep loss we feel. I have been in your shoes, though.

I'm sure your enthusiasm will come through in your talk and it will be a winner. Speaking of your enthusiasm, could you bottle up some of that young energy and mail to me?

Oh Tiffy, I'm so sorry to hear about your losing your kitty. I have 3 outside & 4 inside, and they are all so wonderful. I have one on my lap as I type this.
I did a wintersowing class for my garden club last year. Only a few actually tried it. Several thought I was crazy! But seeing is believing, and they couldn't believe how may plants I had to give away this summer!

Tiffy, tender thoughts coming your way - the kitties, the dogs, the other animals, the people who come and go - it only makes the circle of love wider. And a new garden is life-bringing.

I lost my best buddy Jonas this year too...silver haired gentleman that he was. I feel your pain, it is so hard...
Some of my seeds winter sown last year are starting to germinate, clematis, iris, polygonatum.
Am preparing to start few again soon. There is always something to look forward ...

I lost my sweet kitty Gizmo about 3 weeks ago to a heart attack, at age 9. Fortunately our other cat has adjusted. He was upset for about a week.

Good luck with your talk! I did one for the folks here at work and hopefully some of them will follow through.

Thanks for the kind thoughts everyone. Our pets usually live longer. Jack is buried next to Minnie, a Calico cat which lived 18 years and passed away last January. She helped me grow the most beautiful white Bleeding Heart this year. Quite appropriate. It was still flowering in August...

The talk went super well!! Some of the members from last year actually tried winter sowing last year and said they will definitely do it again this year coming. It added some credence to the method and I was so happy about that. Next meeting I will be bringing in hoards of seed for them to try. "Twas a good night!

Jack is sucha handsome boy! I'm sure he loves where he is! I lost my two boys, Sabastian and Cosmo over te last 2 years - both to cancer. I just keep planting more and more things to attract the birds and butterflies. Hopefully they are enjoying the view! Gardening is so theraputic isn't it!?!?!

Diana

I understand your pain.

If you need seeds for your project, let me know.

Aw, I too, am sorry about your loss. He was such a pretty boy.

I once made my brother pick/axe the frozen soil around the blue spruce in January so I could bury Norton under his favorite climbing tree with his toys.

Tiffy, I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing any kind of family member hurts. I'm sure he gave you a lot a joy while he was with you!

Kitty.

tiff - just read your post and I am so sorry that you lost your Jack... I know the feeling and I wish you well, I bet he was a sweety.
