Read Meep's Story ^{(In Memoriam)}

Meep was brought to The Gentle Barn at only a day old, a tiny ball of yellow fluff. Way too young to be unescorted in the barnyard, we brought him into our house to be our baby. He slept in bed with us, followed us around everywhere, sat on our shoulders, drove with us in the car, sat in our laps, and we took him to restaurants, movie theaters, parks, and other people's houses. He fell asleep in our arms, watched movies with us, and was the love of our lives. When Meep was a few months old and had all his feathers, we spent time in the barnyard with him, acclimating him to the other animals. He took to them right away and was found sitting on the sheep, catching rides on the pigs, and using the llamas like big pillows for him to nap on. Eventually it was Meep's choice to move into the barnyard full time, and even though we missed him in the house, he soon became the king of the barnyard and we were happy for him. Meep ruled the roost until he unexpectedly had a heart attack and passed away in his sleep, leaving a huge hole in all of us.
