Tis A Rose

Yes indeedy. In the back: we have one the one up front, that only had one flower last year:

We buried our dog last weekend, so that's done. Now we may have to make room for more, because Oscar's weight loss has been tentatively diagnosed as cancer - ruled out hyperthyroidism, which would have been easily fixed. But! He had a tapeworm, too (from catching mice - he's a good mouser) and was treated for that, too. I'm pinning my hopes on that it was from the tape worm. (go figure) and maybe now he will fatten up. He seems to be happy. but he is 16 years old so I think that's 80 or 90 of our years? Yes, we lose old cats and young dogs. But Daisy was 13 or 14 so that's not so young. She was too wicked to die young.

What does that vet know - probably the tape worm, yes.
