You figure a year is enough?

I came up with a year because it was slightly more than that between Cappuccino and Latte going. When my husband dug for Latte I was concerned that it shouldn't be too close to Cappy, but he said all he found was a bit of old hay from the paper bag we buried her in and what might have been a bit of a leg bone. Cappy was a delicate one so would have melted back into the earth fairly quickly, but since then we have placed 6 more and by the time we placed Marigold we had to start back at the beginning of the flower bed again and there was no trace of those from the year before. Our flower bed in relatively small and we try to space them out but inevitably there is a little overlap. I guess it means I should not be sad about leaving them behind when/if we move because they aren't there anymore, and any way, they are always with me.
