HI everyone! I will let Penny give her tip in a minute. Today is the one year anniversary of Phoebe leaving us. We miss her every day, the house just isn’t the same without her. Her little harness dress still hangs on the hook by the door like Tiny Tim’s crutch.
I have been saving this story for today. Last year, when I kept bringing Phoebe to the vet for fluids and checkups, her vet was expecting a baby. Guess what she named her daughter? When I was there a few months ago she told me that when I kept coming in with Phoebe it struck her that should be her baby’s name.
Now time for Penny’s tip-
Hi everyone! Mom paid me in silvervine so excuse my pose, she caught me rolling in it.
My tip is if you don’t have a ruler, you can use pennies to measure. There are 16 pennies in one foot ( each one has a diameter of .75″ ).
Do you like Mom’s ruler? It is a Peanuts one that she has had since she was a kid.
Tomorrow we will be participating in Madi’s Come Laugh With Us Blog Hop.
We are joining Comedy Plus’ Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Don’t forget you have until 9 PM (EST) Tuesday to enter to win a copy of Prancie’s Prayer. Rules are on Sunday’s post.
Thank you to all who have helped promote by sharing, purchasing, reviewing and for all your kind comments of support.
Angel Phoebe knows that you love her and miss her! Thst sweet pink dress looked do cute on her. Hugs and purrs.
Thank you. XO
So that’s quite a story about the vet’s baby! We think there might be a tiny little piece of Miss Phoebe’s spirit in that little girl!
Penny, if you get PAID for your tips, I think I am going to try to come up with some myself. DO you get paid before or after, I wonder??
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, Penny insists on treats and silvervine for payment- it would probably be cheaper to give her cash 🙂
So many interesting things today. It’s sweet that your vet’s daughter shares Phoebe’s name. 16 pennies in a foot….now I know! And it’s wonderful that your Mom has a ruler from when she was a child. She must be very careful with her belongings.
Thank you and Penny thanks you. 🙂
How pawsome that the Vet named her daughter after Phoebe 🙂
We really like your tip today too Penny!!!
Mum still has a jar of pennies even though we do not use or make them anymore in Canada.
Purrs Georgia,Julie and JJ
Thank you. And Penny thanks you too.
How cool that Phoebe’s memory lives on with your vet’s daughter. Penny, I had no idea that pennies could be used to measure!
Thank you. Phoebe is a great name.
sso sorry,So sorry, Ellen, for your loss — this post is a lovely tribute <3
Thank you. XO
What a sweet story about the vet’s baby being named after your Phoebe. The 28th of this month will be one year since we lost Buddy. We’ve lost too many. That hurts, doesn’t it!
We always think of those we have loved and lost. XO
How sweet that your vet named her daughter Phoebe.
Thank you, it is 🙂
Isn’t that sweet Phoebe’s vet named her baby after her!
Great tip, Penny, that is certainly something we didn’t know. I wish I still had a Peanuts ruler! 🙂
I was touched that she named her baby Phoebe. XO
For some reason we could not get to your blog yesterday! I know Phoebe was so special to you. Remembering is good, but also can be painful.
Thank you, she was very special. Sorry you had trouble getting to my blog yesterday.
Sweet Phoebe. We all miss her *sniff* And how wonderful of your vet to name her daughter Phoebe. So heartwarming.
Penny’s tip is great! I never would have figured that one out 🙂
P.S – I also had a hard time getting onto your blog yesterday.
Thank you. We miss Phoebe every day.
Sorry you had trouble getting to my blog yesterday.
My comment seems to have disappeared. I know I left one saying how it didn’t seem possible that a year had passed already since sweet Phoebe was called to the Bridge.
That is a great tip, Penny.
I will check spam for it, sorry about that. Time goes by so quickly. XO
A year…where did time go, sweet angel Phoebe 🙂 Still remembering and still in our hearts too. Soft Pawkisses to all of you, as we know that this day wasn’t easy???
Thank you for these kind words. XO
Penny, i could not get to this blog yesterday for love or money, i kept getting the message that the server was down. It’s great to see you and i love your tip!
My condolences about Phoebe, i hope as time goes on you are remembering more happy times and fewer of the sad things at the end.
Thank you. SOrry about the inconvenience. XO
Silvervine? Oh Penny, how lucky are you?. Great tip girl. We’re sendin’ hugs and purrayers awnty Ellen. That was really sweet of your V-E-T.
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
Thank you. Phoebe is a great name for humans and kitties 🙂 XO
Aww, I love that she named her baby Phoebe, so sweet! And that is a great tip and one I did not know.
Thank you 🙂
Penny – I had no idea you could measure in pennies. That’s a great idea! (I can’t believe Phoebe’s been gone a year.)
Thank you. XO
