“D”bee, my dear little flurry black friend. You left this life on August 25, 2018. We had 19+ years together. I miss your beautiful broken glass yellow/green/brown eyes. Oh, and your shiny black Main coon hair, and plume tail you didn’t want anyone to mess with. Up would go your left front paw with one extended nail touching my hand to gently remind me you preferred the more vigorous belly rubs and throat stroking… I took a six weeks old Phoebe home. That first night you snuggled up under my hair around my neck, and purred in my ear. Instant bonding! The best gift my daughter has ever given me! You gave and received unconditional love. Young or old, you managed to find high places. The top of the curio cabinet in this past year when you were still feeling good. Another favorite was investigating dark places: cupboards, closets, even garages. You were lost for several hours until I heard your sweet cry behind a locked neighbors garage. All is past…my Phoebe…you are still in my heart and fond memories. BSiglin
