awwww, you need to find Opie II

I am sure there is another dog out there just waiting for you!

Our dogs are really our good luck charms, we just never realize it until they are gone!

Thanks Ron, I have two Now!
Poppy, 5 years old and shares my birthday 10/21
And our new rescue Rose, she is just about a year old now, it took a lot of work for to learn how to just be a dog. She was kept in a cage to be breed. I feel proud to at least help were I can.

We used to have those ghost flowers around our house when I was a kid. Except we called them Indian Pipes.

In the UK, elder trees are supposed to be the special trees related to witches--various sources claim that witches are reincarnated as elder trees, send their spirits to hang out in elder trees, are the guardians of elder trees, etc. And if you make a flute out of an elder stem and play it at midnight, ghosts will show up and talk to you. Sort of like the Pied Piper of zombies or something.

I tried it once, I got an elder stem and drilled holes in it. Was hard to get any noise out of the thing, and when I finally did, two verses of The Little Brown Jug yielded nothing but some rather annoyed crickets.
