Ketch-Up Day
Did you have a good weekend? Having a good week?
I'd like to share with you an experience a wildlife rehabber I know had years ago.
She had taken in a litter (passel) of orphaned possums. One of the youngsters became friends with the dog. They ate together, slept together, and played together. Friends.
When it was time to re-home the possums, she took them into the woods and let them go. The little possum who was friends with the dog came back. This happened several times before it finally acclimated to the wilds and wasn't seen again.
A couple of years later the dog died unexpectedly and they buried it on the property. That evening, at twilight, my bud (the rehabber) looked out the window and to her stunned surprise saw the possum sitting on the grave.
I have to believe it came to say goodbye to its old friend.

Ketch-up Tuesday
We scattered Penny's ashes in the backyard where she spent many a happy hour. I made a point to have some of them scattered in my flowers she'd trammeled:)
Friday we went to see the baby boy graduate from the NC Community College Leadership Program he'd participated in. What about you. What did you do over the weekend?
Now back to our regularly scheduled program of cats and flowers 😄
That's all for now, blogger buds. Have a week filled with fun and creativity.
