| Oliver, a popular Summit Street Community Garden member |
Last week the Summit Street Community Garden lost one of its
beloved four-legged members: Oliver, the 8-year-old smooth fox terrier of
garden members Ron and Seth. Ollie was a friendly presence in the garden, a
frequent visitor who could often be seen merrily sniffing his way along the
paths and wagging his tail as a greeting to all.
He had been adopted by Ron and Seth in July 2012, when Ollie was 5 years old, after he retired from his career as a champion show dog.

“He loved the
garden,” recalls Ron. “Whenever Seth or I walked him past it, he tried to pull
us in. He especially loved rolling around the in the grass. He would also run
and run and run around the outside perimeter of the boxes.”
Oliver was a small dog, but the loss to the garden is a big one. As sad as his sudden passing is, it’s hard not to think of this friendly
dog without a smile. We’ll all miss you, Ollie.
