So I understand weathering the antics of a pet. Bronson lived to a very old age of 18 so a lot of weathering went on. His best mate was Bagel and Bagel looked a lot like Aster. I did a portrait of Bagel that looks pretty similar to the one photo of Aster. I posted it once here. But I drew it when Bagel was older. Bagel made it to 16. http://gardenwalkgardentalk.com/2010/12/06/my-condolences-and-admiration/ <br /><br />Thanks for joining weathering. I am glad you recovered Aster. I had a similar scare with Bagel too which took much help from my neighbors to find him. He was old and blind and how far he traveled astounded me. He would have not returned on his own like Aster did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318772798318990624.post-50641214928348138282011-12-28T05:10:57.606-07:002011-12-28T05:10:57.606-07:00Glad she was alright.
