Cats and Dogs

The Willow Tree Garden was a favourite haunt of Smoocher the ginger cat. Here he and his sister Tiger would roar up and down the willow branches, infuriating the dog. There was much barking...

Smoocher and Rusty the dog were best friends, though. Here they are sniffing noses in the Willow Tree Garden.

Sadly Smoocher the cat is no longer with us. But whenever I'm gardening underneath that tree I can picture him peeping down at me from the tangle of branches.
