Let The Search Begin

This old gal…

Was excited to get back to her Iowa home…knew it wouldn’t be the same without Old Man Wrigley…but her heart was eager…to see his furry sidekick…

Roddy Piper…neighborhood cat extraordinaire…waiting at the door each morning…for breakfast and a cuddle…heading out to roam…stopping by several times during the day…

Eight months…Roddy and Wrigley…the dynamic feline duo…keeping vigil over the back yard…entertaining…befriending…giving two old folks…purpose…

Knew Roddy Piper had other friends up the block…but was sure with winter over…he’d head our way to say hello…a delightful reunion…the scene…

A field of flowers…smarmy music…slow motion…old gal arms outstretched…loping through…furry friend…navigating the blooms like a pro…trying to get to her…but no…

This…was not to be…he…was not to be…our hearts…broke…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
