Thanks to Elinor L, who sent us this lovely poem along with a status report on the Russ 'Hiker:

Look around your garden Lord,
he won't be hard to find.
He has a face thats full of love,
a heart that's good and kind.
Tell him that we love him,
and when he turns to smile,
Put your arms around him Lord,
and hold him for a while.
We think about him often,
and talk about him still...
He hasn't been forgotten Lord,
and never, ever, will.
