I also really like your picture and I have no idea what kind of flower this is. I was just quoting Shakespeare and putting a spin on Juliet's words.

You may get about the same rose with cloning, but anything more complicated like a cat, dog or heaven forbid a person....

It was our only surviving tulip, and that was our first golden, Bear--our most fun, goofiest dog ever. I would clone him if they would bring the price down

I think about how wonderful it would be to clone so many of the dogs I have loved and lost BUT if I had done that (at whatever price I could afford in this theoretical idea), I wouldn't have the wonderful dogs I have now that have come only because the dogs O lost opened up a place for the ones I have now. While I ached and cried and mourned their passing and would do anything to have them back, I wouldn't give up my wonderful dogs that share my life now. Given a chance would I go back? How can I now even entertain that idea knowing it means I would have to give up one of my boys being here with me now. While I may have lost the perfect dog years ago, I'm a 'love the one your with' kinda girl so I don't think I could do it now. However, I fully understand the desire to do it. Also, I saw Pet Cemetery. Too scary... ugh!

…. but can they clone his soul? I'm not convinced of that.
(Yes, I believe animals each share a part of the group soul of their species.)
