The first rose of the summer



"The first rose of the summer is the best," my friend Carol said as she delivered it to me today, along with her famously amazing fudge. We received this prized bloom the day after we lost our sweet Katie, one of two rescue kittens we raised from babyhood. Katie underwent surgery Tuesday, a routine surgery to remove bladder stones. The surgery went as planned but an unplanned infection created a downward spiral our veterinarian was unable to stop. Katie died yesterday morning. We are heartbroken to lose our black beauty, a sprite at heart and the princess of our small kingdom. She deserves this best rose of the summer...
