We brought Belle home today, and now that we have our garden sorted, we will be placing her, our old black cat Twt, and our dogs Bonny and Sadie all together.

I know I have gone on about my landscapers etc.... but this was the main reason for having it done, so that at long last they can all be laid to rest together!!

Thank you so much, everyone who sent support, love and hugs when she was so poorly, and after she died. It really did help.

And what is most important is knowing that others understand....

Love

How lovely Daff, nice to be able to go to that spot and imagine them inspecting the garden now too.
I saw a wonderful tree at an open garden do yesterday, was a Robinia pseudo-acacia, called Lace Lady, the leaves looked as if someone had used curling tongs on it. It was such a lovely tree. I thought of you then with your hunky gardener lol

Jac it was the landscaper who thought of it... and the spot is the best spot for Rosemary.

Liz, we looked at that one... it is a distinct possibility for the front... I have a short-list of 6... but it keeps getting longer. Won't be done until next year though.

Ann, it is such a relief... I can keep it under control now, and enjoy it.

Christine... I was looking for a dog and cat angel... haven't found them yet, but will find something to put there.

Love

Daff we have several pets in the garden ,plus a young friends parrot and her hamsters.(she didn't have a garden)
Good job it is a large garden!!!!!People down the lane who own the stables buried their favourite horse in theirs.You can just imagine the mound of soil!!!

It is lovely isn't it Daff?

Our dog is buried in the only unpaved area of the garden, she was a digger when she was alive so had most of it paved over. There is a white lilac growing on the spot.

Our cat is in the front garden under the magnolia tree as that was where she used to prowl, meeting and greeting everyone who walked down the street. My other cats and our family dog are in the back garden of my parent's old council house, which is now owned by someone I know, and she hates gardening so it is like a jungle, they are undisturbed there.

Christine, we were in the Range earlier on... we were looking for paint though... I'll pop back there later in the week.

Liz, all these used to curl up together when they were younger, it seems right that they are all together... And I am going in there with them, lolol!

Lol Helen..... all of mine have been cremated, so no problems there!

There is no reason why you cannot be put with your pets - hope you know that. As long as its not near any mains pipes or electric/gas. Some people dont know that!

Glad you have a lovely place for your pets.
