I now have Charlie, a little Australian Terrier, but no dog will ever replace JoJo.

When Michael Died his neighbours planted a Lilli Pilli and put the plaque in the park and held a wake in his memory. When his house was sold the new owner threw out all his plants so we rescued them and put them under the tree and extended the existing small garden. Many cuttings from houses I pass walking my dog plus unwanted plants from neighbours have generally been added - hence the eclectic mix. So it is a community garden of sorts. One neighbour regularly cleans it of dog poo, syringes, casks and other rubbish and I water the plants regularly. Council clips the hedges and lawn etc. Our resident homeless oldie sometimes tramples the gardens and pulls out new plants, but we like him better than the junkies. We get a few people stopping by to eat their lunch and all the local dogs see it as an extension of their front yard.

Run over by a car one day - very sad. Love this little corner of Darlinghurst.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
