Hearing her reaction to you cracked me up!

No doubt she had something to hide in regard to name-changing those varieties.

I feel badly for people new to heirlooms that unluckily find her site first and believe her hype.

One last word of farewell, Dear Master and Mistress.


Whenever you visit my grave,

say to yourselves with regret

but also with happiness in your hearts

at the remembrance of my long happy life with you:


"Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved."


No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you,

and not all the power of death

can keep my spirit

from wagging a grateful tail.
