Happy Passover and Easter! Before sharing a cute poem about the Easter Bunny, I wanted to pass along a quick tip to all pet parents. Please make sure you keep your companion animals out of any Passover/Easter sweets, especially chocolate (which can be lethal to both dogs and cats) and anything with artificial sweeteners as they may contain Xylitol which is poisonous/toxic to dogs and cats.
Meeting the Easter Bunny
by Rowena Bennett
On Easter morn at early dawn
before the cocks were crowing
I met a bob tail bunnykin
and asked where he was going.
“Tis in the house and out the house
a-tipsy, tipsy-toeing,
Tis round the house
and ’bout the house a-lightly I am going.”
“But what is that of every hue
you carry in your basket?”
“Tis eggs of gold and eggs of blue;
I wonder that you ask it.
“Tis chocolate eggs and bonbon eggs
and eggs of red and gray,
For every child in every house
on bonny Easter day.
He perked his ears
And winked his eye and twitched his little nose;
He shook his tail – what a tail he had –
and stood up on his toes.
“I must be gone before the sun
the east is growing gray;
Tis almost time for bells to chime.”
– So he hippety-hopped away.
