Many of you were blogging friends of Remington,
the gentle Newfie. If you did not know Remington
Click here to visit his blog. Beth is no longer posting to his blog so Mom volunteered to prepare a post about his
Garden.
Rem entertained us daily.
Remington and his Beth were FRIENDS to many.
Remington was only 4 years old when he made his trip to the Rainbow Bridge. He had been blogging for his entire life.
A handful of Rem's furiends put their heads together
to come up with a way to honor Rem and let Beth and
Mike know how much Rem meant to us.
January 9, 2009-March 4, 2013
Our original plan was to plant a tree for Remington with the donations from his friends......
BUT lo and behold Beth and Mike
planted a Garden on the side of their house.
This was Remington's favorite spot to play.
To quote Beth,
"Each year and with each blossom we will think of him...this side of the house was also Remington's favorite place to play catch."
THANK YOU
MY FRIENDS."
The garden contains 5 butterfly bushes, 2 yellow rose bushes,
1 Rose of Sharon, 1 Hardy Hibiscus, 2 red, 2 yellow climbing rose bushes (at the center trellis) and to the left of the trellis many day lilies
Remington wore many hats....
and promoted many causes. His favorite was
READING!!!!!
We had enough donations to also
buy books to be donated to a local
school in Honor of Remington.
Beth will take the books to the
school this fall.
The books selected won a book award named after
Dr. Seuss (The Geisel Award) which evidently started in 2006

Remington, *My Friend,
(*Rem's favorite expression)

of everyone who knew you.
Run free, chase footballs and catch snowflakes
and most of all keep an eye on the man in the
MOON
