Hysop

July 2

Home

On this day of loss, we celebrate the life of our cat of ten years by
adding to the garden she loved to play in and stalk through most days.
Today I added this Agastache barberi 'Tutti Frutti'. Tonight she lies
in peaceful rest in that very garden.

It will be strange around the house without Phoebe after ten years of
having her constantly under foot. She has been battling a respiratory
ailment since February. Today it just got to be too much for her.
She passed in my arms as we were about to enter the clinic for help.

She will be missed.



A tribute to a great cat with a short walk down memory lane...

Poor Pheobe, this is a beautiful tribute.

A beautiful sentiment. Our cat is about 12 years old, been hit by a car, lost an eye, still going strong, I hope.
My sympathies. I dread the day we lose OJ.

I am sorry to read about Phoebe.
It is easy to tell you put a lot of your soul into this photo,
maybe some of Phoebe's, too.
