To Snow Bunny


Blossomed: August 22, 2004

Petal Fall: February 24, 2005


The fragile blossom heaven scent,
That graced the briefest afternoon,
Then faded with the light of day
It's petals weeping to the earth
To join the tears we shed for it.

For all that was of beauty,
And all that was of good,
That graced the briefest afternoons,
Then loosed their petals drifting down,
To weep with us upon the earth.

Tom, February 24, 2005

Marshmellow - 5/6/07  Age 4 of pneumonia.  Mom says "white little fluff ball he was - ears straight up - when he turned around one, only one, ear flopped.  The other took another few months to flop.  Then he got that grey broken look to him.  Turned from a Marshmellow to a toasted Marshmellow.  I changed the 'A' to an 'E' .... " making his name unique to him.  He was loved and will be deeply missed.

She leaves behind
Kim, Guy, Poopy
and Petey.
Sox - 6/15/07 at age 5.5   He leaves grieving mom Laura and dad Pedro.  He had an eye infection which was treated surgically but he just didn't want to continue the journey.  Smoky, who went before by a few short months, at age 8, was calling him and he went.
Peter.   5/5/01-7/8/07  Lisa and John rescued him as a wild baby with a paralyzed leg.  They enjoyed many loving and happy years together before that same leg caused his demise.   He'd ring his little red bell if he needed "room service".
Alice.   Just found her forever home only to loose her battle for life.   Non-rabbit savvy vet gave her poor care at spay resulting in after-infection which spread quickly and she was still too weak from surgery to fight it off.  But she tried.  In the arms of her devestated mom.  She and dad and assorted kitties will miss her.
Bubby 1/14/08.   Rescued and loved by Linda and the cats who all accepted him unquestioning.  His death was sudden and unexpected.  He was not yet one year old.  Mom gave him a happy life for the time he was with her.  A warm bed, good food, four and two legged friends and love.

Dallas.  From Alabama, passed at the age of 14.5.  He was his dad's constant companion in the last ten years, while dad was on disability.  They made up stories about his adventures growing hamburger trees and crawling thru the desert.  If you were sick, he would bring his toys to share and lay by in in case you needed a lick.  He leaves his brother Oscar, mom Les and dad Stan who miss him terribly.
3/7/08 - HopNoodle Johnson.  Much loved and will be much missed.  He was five, the same age and "illness" that took his dad.  No warning; turned up nose at breakfast and was gone by lunch.  Nanner time won't be the same now.

4/7/08 - Chloe von Honknthump
4/16/08 - Digger
Wasp's hutch is empty today.  Chloe just wasn't interested in her food any more.  She saw the Black Rabbit beckon and she followed.  Digger had a tumor obstructing his intestinal tract that was inoperable but he was afraid to leave mom alone with Chloe gone so he waited as long as he could.  They brought so much joy to her life.   Both were rescues,  but they lived happily together in this forever home.  Chloe was 5.
Miss Pepo almost lost all four of her babies  to bad pellets.  She got up in the night to check them and found Tito and Casper already gone and Pepo close to death.  Lopi sick but not as bad.  Emergency trip to vet in the middle of the night saved Lopi.  Tragic.  5/21/08
