Fluffy, you came to me one early morning, just a little tyke, looking for something to eat. I gave you some peanuts and sunflower seeds and you eagerly took them and scampered off. And so it began, every morning and every evening you would come to my patio door. You had the biggest fluffiest tail I have ever seen, you gave me such joy watching you as you went and buried some for later and had some for now. Soon you even had enough courage to climb up my leg and sit in my lap. I looked forward to the times you came to visit and I loved watching you as you played. But then one day you didn't come and I thought maybe I just missed you and you'd be back for dinner, but you didn't come for dinner nor for breakfast the next day. Then I found the reason you didn't come, someone driving along didn't see you in time to stop and now you are there at Rainbows Bridge, waiting for the day that I come to feed you again, I miss you Fluffy.
