This was a stray cat that was just always there. I have no idea how old she was since I was a little kid when she was a kitten. I planted this olive for her today. Unfortunately the name tag of the olive fell off so I don&#8217;t know what kind it is. I had planted another one earlier this year in <a href=\"http:\/\/eloine.com\/gardenblog\/?s=doodles&amp;x=0&amp;y=0\">memory of my dog<\/a> that was a much more of an upright olive. This one has more scraggly branches. Seemed appropriate for a straggly old cat.<\/p>\n<p>A funny thing happened though while digging the hole. We used a bobcat with an auger to dig the whole but the ground was hard clay. So we had to soak it. The water backed up into a gopher hole and as we pulled the auger up the water spilled out from the gopher hole on the side and out poured a wet gopher &#8211; a bit confused. Don&#8217;t worry &#8211; we rescued it and relocated it in a field well away from the garden.<\/p>\n<p><em> No animals were harmed in the making of this video \ud83d\ude09<\/em><\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/ZN7xgUPTrrY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/ZN7xgUPTrrY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yet again another tree in honor of one of my longtime pets.
