Too Quiet

Matilda was our announcer and door bell.  When there was something to be noticed, Matilda always sounded the alarm and didn't quit until we fixed whatever was wrong.  She was the tattler on escapees.
Now no one is barking, sounding the alarm.  It very, too quiet.  We moved Rosie to days with Buffy and Herman so she won't be so lonesome.  This morning we moved Ruby and Yo over next to Rosie before her
transfer to Buffy's.   Everyone is a bit too quiet, probably sad as we are that Matilda is not with us.
When you drive up now there are four empty pens staring at you.  But no one really wants to move.
We could move Sherpa but she'd tear open yet another gate, so probably we won't do that.  For now, it is too quiet.   Rest in sweet peace, Matilda.
