Students - Our family lost a friend today. Irwin was our oldest pet, and a very gentle guy. Whenever children would visit our home, they would rush to Irwin's milkhouse and hop in with him. Then Irwin would get all kinds of cuddles and kisses. He loved celery, dandelions, and we like to think...us. Just this spring, he became friends with our cat Pickles who liked to visit him in the milkhouse too. Pickles is scared of most every animal, so her trust of Irwin is another testament to his sweet ways.
Today's poem is just me talking to Irwin. Poems are good like that - they kind of hold you when you need it. We held Irwin for a while last night, and today when we found him still in his hay, we were not surprised. Rest well, little furball.
