A Tribute to Furry Succ-ers

5/22/2014

 
As you know, my partner and I lost our beloved furry pal, Scout, last week.  (Here's a free lesson: never have just one pet.  Coming home to a quiet pet-less house is awful if it's not what you're used to.) 

I asked readers to share pictures of their own animal gardening buddies, and I was touched that so many of you did!  Thank you for the heartwarming pictures and condolences.  Here are the pictures of succ-er pets that readers sent in:
Picture
Shana is happy!
Picture
Missy excels at guarding the sanseveria.
Picture
Kiko is 15-16 years old and still full of love.
Picture
Another succ-er friend. Chillin'.

This succ-er's furry friends eat the garden, so here's a picture of an unnamed helper instead!

Wheee!

I'm kind of in love with this little guy, Wednesday, based on his picture alone.

Since I am so sad about losing my Scout, Pepper offered to let me play with his rat. Thanks, Pepper!

A succ-er's beloved dog, Deja, passed away in February.

Can a garden be complete without a cat? Highly debatable...
Picture
This is another Scout! *This* Scout belongs to Candy of Sweetstuff's Sassy Succulents.

Candy's Scout again! Is this a cute picture or what?

Abbey and Noggin are rescue dogs who love to ride in anything, wheelbarrow included!
What a cute bunch! 

I know there are a lot of pets out there that need good homes, like Scout did almost a decade ago, and maybe eventually I'll be able to give another dog or two a good home.  For now, I suspect I'd just be wandering after the new pet despondently, wondering why it isn't in magic psychic connection with me like Scout was.  I'll keep you posted.

Thanks again to all of the succ-ers who sent in pictures of their furry gardening companions.  It helps so much to see all those wonderful pets enjoying lives alongside their wonderful people!
