Then we put more petals on top and the rest of the roses. It was a beautiful day with clouds. I just raked up leaves and listened to birds. The world is so wonderful and so sad at the same time.

Then I saw these minis in the dollar store on the "death rack" as I call it. So I rescued them. They are too beautiful to die here I thought. One of my favorite roses is a mystery rescued rose from the front of a big box store.

Pretty pale mystery rose

Thank you.

Kitty, you are so sweet.

My first and foremost love is pups. I have a tear for you.

Kitty,
I didn't mean strictly canine pups, I meant ALL pups.
Actually, all animals.

sniffling andrea

Nice photos, but what exactly died?

Great looking displays of roses Kitty...:-)
Sorry for whatever animal passed away....Pet? Wild?

He was a little wild mammal

Kitty, you are so beautiful. Thank you for being you. (((((hugs))))) âÂÂ¥ :~)

This is so sad and loving and beautiful. We were lucky to find a baby squirrel and raised her until she was old enough to go out on her own. Two years later she came back and brought her children. She left and they stayed. This year she came back again. We also raised a tiny baby wild mouse and she stayed with us for over three years.

When our beloved cat died we buried him with a spray of blooming Souvenir d'un Ami roses against his chest between his paws.

Your tribute is so heart-warming and I'm getting teary. Thank you for caring so much.

I'm glad you don't think this is too odd. I think many of us rose folk use our roses to honor our pets. I love all the animals so I do it for them. Thanks for being wonderful friends.
