When we moved to Natchitoches,  the first  Spring, Kathy wanted dogwood 
trees 
so we  planted two.   One, on  the front yard did not survive the first hot 
summer.  Another  in the  shade of a big oak, flourished.   It bloomed the 
third year.   That's the year we got Coco, the Chocolate Labrador Retriever 
Puppy. 
   

Coco was a sweet dog, but as a puppy she chewed everything;  a  leather 
camera bag, our cypress porch swing, and the dogwood.   She  chewed it 
almost to 
the ground.   

It came back, and just as it  was blooming again, a huge limb fell from the 
oak that shaded it and broke it to  the ground again.   I really didn't 
expect 
it to survive, but now it  is seven feet tall, and bloomed last spring.   

The weather is  getting wintry, even here; though today I went out in a 
t-shirt in search of  flowers for you.  While I was in the back garden, I 
noticed 
the little  dogwood is getting ready for  winter.
