FOr some reason I seem to never be able to keep plants alive. I try so hard, but somehow they always quickly go to the plant rainbow bridge. I think with a plant I always think, we'll I'm on my way out so I can water it later and it won't make a difference. But if my cats need water then I do it right away because I know they need it then. I always had pets as a kid, I really didn't have too much of the responsibilities, but it taught me how to be patient and gentle.
