Memorials

Those of us who choose to love such delicate creatures as rabbits take the risk of having to say goodbye before we are ready. When this happens, the following brief poem may help us remember to treasure what we had, loved, and must let go:

"He who binds for himself a joy
Must the winged life destroy.
He who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in Eternity's sunrise."

William Blake

Cranberry 1995-2008
11 years ago he was given to us by a family that could no longer take care of him. He traveled down to the cape, aunt phyllis's house, and eventually moved to newton where he was allowed to run the apartment with his new friend bella, a cat. In December '07 a new friend, lily another rabbit, moved in with us. April 3, 2008 Cran broke his leg, for the second time, only this time the vet said based on his age, possible cancer and the likelyhood of it healing he was put down in my arms. It has been a hard day without him ready to get out of his cage when I come home or ready for his popcorn. Cran, I love you and when we meet again there will be popcorn.

Love, Jessica, Austin, Lily & Family

She was the best bunny anyone could ask for. Free to do laps & make us laugh whenever she pleased.

We’ll bring the treats.

Star
Two years ago I got the most beautiful rabbit that I had ever seen. She was adorable to look at and as I found out after a very short while, she had a fantastic personality. She had two very serious illnesses during her very short life, one was when she was 5 months old and one when she was ten months old. She was a real tough little cookie, because, thank god, she survived and grew into a beautiful adult. She was everything I could wish for. She made us laugh with her funny little ways. She would sleep on my lap like a cat, and when she saw Shiner, our dog, she would stand up in her house to give her a kiss. Last Wednesday 18th July 2007, began as any other usual day. Little did I know then that it was going to be turned upside down, never to be the same again. I picked my little darling Star up, and to my horror she had been infected with fly strike. I rushed her straight to the vet who sedated her immediately. We decided that it would be best for Star to have an operation to try and fix her wounds. The operation went well, but sadly, the vet was unable to wake Star up once the operation was over. She died under the anasthetic. This is a message especially for my shining little 'Star', The house isn't the same without you, we all miss you terribly. Shiner keeps looking for you. You were the most adorable bunny in the world. We will love and miss you forever. GOODBYE STAR, GOD BLESS!!! Meet you again in Heaven! Diane and all the family.

Flower
I said it from the beginning and I'll say it always...A Flower truly is the Sweetest thing. Your personality was unlike any other rabbit I've ever known. Your puppy-like qualities is what any potential adopter would have yearned for in a bun and the reasons why, if you were healthy, you would have been adopted in the blink of an eye. How could anyone resist how you would crawl into my lap and go to sleep, or come running to me every time I walked into the room? Or your little bunny kisses and how you followed me everywhere. Or the way you "tooth purred" whenever someone was cuddling you. How could they resist loving you and your amazing character? To have known you, cared for you and loved you like I did, makes my life that much more blessed. Maybe you came to me for a reason. Maybe you knew I would love you like my own buns and spoil you rotten, until the end. After all, every bunny deserves that. I do believe all things happen for a reason and there was a reason I picked you up that day. You were probably one of the most precious bunny souls I've ever known, and for that "my little Flower-child", I am forever greatful.
Love, Shannon

Lucky, Cinnamon and Bailey
Quietly in the wind my babies, you didn't make a sound, The angels fluttered in and swept you gently from the ground. If my love could have saved you, You'd still be here with me, Instead I cry, for I wonder what could be.

My dearest little ones, I know that you are fine, somewhere, some how, I truly believe. I can not imagine that our energies cease to continue on after this world open my heart and keep faith in the stories of the Bridge, and I know this is where you are. Lucky, you are reunited with your Honey, playing in the grass, grooming each other and eating all the banana chips you can now your teeth no longer cause you pain. Cinny, you are now running around, raising heck like you did here on earth...your heart is no longer weak...Bailey my baby, your frail little body no longer hurts...it is whole again...it just could not take anymore, even though you still wanted to fight like the brave little bunny you were...for almost 4 long years you fought so hard...it was unimaginable a little bunny could go through so much and yet still be so brave and live life with the strength and courage that you did...no more medicine, no more baths, no more pain, no more struggling...for this is the place where pain and hurt does not exist. Be brave my babies, in your journey to peace, I promise I will see you again someday. Love you always, Momy Shannon & Lily

Herbie
Our sweet Spotot, what can be said about such a gentle and loving soul? You were an amazing spirit. When you first came to our family, you were quite a timid boy. With the help of your love Molly, however, that was soon remedied and you quickly found your courage, looking for mischief wherever you could find it. There has never been a more proficient Slinky slayer in rabbit history and it's doubtful there ever will be. You were cautious by nature but curiosity would generally override that caution and, eventually, you'd bravely pursue that which had caught your interest. We'll never forget how proud you were when you finally made it to the top level of the cottontail condo. You simply beamed. That is an image we'll cherish for the rest of our days. Herbie, the king of the world! Although we're still reeling from the suddenness of your passing, we are grateful that you didn't suffer. You showed no serious signs of illness, begging shamelessly for treats, voraciously eating and playing until your very last day. Your passing was peaceful and with little struggle. Gentle in death as you were in life. It was obvious you were ready to be reunited with your Molly whom you missed so. I'm sure you're both snuggling and playing once more, never to be parted again. Thank you for blessing our family with your love and the joy that was you. There is a place in our hearts reserved solely for you, sweet boy. You'll be forever missed. Love, Mom and Dad

In Memory of Tessa 9-1-05
Queen Tessa, our little "T-Rex", was a feisty bunny but we loved her just the same. The first thing our 5 year old son Tim would do when someone came to visit was drag them in to see his bunny. Tessa did not love to be handled and let us know it, so we learned to love her from a distance! Although, if you had a raisin in your hand she was your bestest friend! And when our Papa started taking care of her on a daily basis, Tessa and Papa grew a mutual bond that has left a huge hole in our family since she passed away. We even had to rearrange the room where we kept her because we couldn't stand looking in there and seeing the empty space. Tessa, we hope you are loving "bunny heaven" and can run and jump and eat all the raisins and kale and parsley you want! You left an indelible mark on our hearts, and when you left us so suddenly we were shaken even beyond our own belief. As a sad 5-year old Tim says, "There will never be another pet like Tessa". Rest easy, girlie. We'll miss ya. Gail, Greg, Timothy, Nana and Papa Comeau

In Loving Memory of Molly
Oh dearest little Mollusk, what an amazing spirit you were. A wonderful mixture of feisty attitude tempered with such incredible sweetness, you could drive us crazy and melt our hearts all in the blink of an eye. You were as opinionated as the day is long which merely added to your impish charm. How often you astonished us with your dedication to the pursuit of mischief. No baby gate or barrier was too high for the Amazing Flying Mollusk! So determined were you to taste the forbidden fruit that lie beyond the gate, at times you defied gravity. It was awesome to watch you in action. When you weren't persuading your man Herbie to share in your troublemaking antics, you were quiet and loving, satisfied with a gentle nose rub and a kiss or two. Herbie is lost without you, his lady love. Inseparable since you first met, he's finding it difficult adjusting to life without you, as are we. Please watch over him while his heart heals and know that we all will forever miss you. Our Little Bean, we are heartbroken having lost you yet comforted knowing that you are now without pain, your spirit free to fly once more and your soul at peace. Thank you for enriching our lives with such joy and love. May your spirit continue to soar until we meet again. Love and kisses from your Mom, Dad, and Herbie

Pooper (02Sep 03 - 04 Jan 05)
In Loving Memory of my best friend and faithful companion, Pooper. You gave me the best time of my life. Thank you for the 16 months we had together, life will never be the same without you. I miss your antics, and your begging for raisins. I know I will see you again, & we will be together forever. Love, Dave

Marlo
Our precious little Marligator with the deep, soulful eyes. It is heartbreaking to say goodbye when we'd barely finished saying hello. However short our time together was, we are nonetheless grateful to have been touched by your gentleness, spunk and incredible zest for life. You were an amazingly sweet and courageous soul whose indomitable spirit made you unwilling to give in to a body that had betrayed you. Though your pain must have been great, you rose above and faced each day with joy in your eyes and love in your heart. You taught us so much about love, trust and determination of the spirit. Though small in size, the hole you left in our hearts is enormous. Your Mom, Dad and your partner in crime, Poppy, will forever miss you. We thank you for enriching our lives with the gift that was you. You may now rest peacefully, little one. You are free from pain and unfettered from the limits of your ailing body. You will always be remembered as our little dancing machine, a blessing from above. Until we meet again, sweet girl. Love and snuggles, from Mom, Dad and Poppy.

Mandy
Mandy as we called you. Vivian was your name at adoption. The short time we had you you brought much joy to our lives. The car rides to the park, the walks on your leash and just being the best bunny anyone could every have. You always greeted us in the morning for your snacks and greens. You loved to lay on the couch with us. Malory your cat partner laid by your cage. You will always be in my heart. Deb, Ben & Bill.

DCI Jane Tennison
From the moment you hopped up the driveway into our lives, to the moment your spirit left your body, you were an inspiration and a treasure. St. Francis truly knew what a gift you were when he sent you to enlighten us. We had the pleasure of seeing you develop from a lanky, raucous baby into a gorgeous, well-tempered lady. It's befitting that we named you Tenny, as you gave us a decade of joy, laughter, lessons, and a deep, unconditional love. You shared nearly your entire life's journey with us, and that is a privilege and a blessing. You were intelligent and crafty, strong and resilient, gentle and loving, and wise beyond words. When I looked into your eyes, I saw a very old soul who had the power to heal with her love. I know you want us to celebrate the everyday smiles and victories, to cherish that rush in our hearts of never-ending love, and to be at peace. And so we kiss the joy as it flies, so that you may live in Eternity's sunrise. Forever grateful for your influence, with love, we say farewell for now. Christine & David and Prince

Coco 1992-2004

Coco 1992 - 2004
You are finally back with your soul mate and partner in crime, but how I miss snuggling in front of the TV in the evening, seeing you doze off in my arms, and sharing an afternoon nap. I miss having you and Holbrook for company in the office. You took such good care of Holbrook in his last 2 1/2 years. it was an honor to hold you in your last hour and share your final moments on earth. (Thank you for not pulling a "Holbrook" on me later in the week!) I will miss celebrating Sept 6 & 9 with you this year.

Much love and snuggles, Mom, Molly, & even Flip - who misses having somebun harrass on a regular basis ;-)

Barney & Hazel
It seems only befitting to honor you together, as your lives were so tightly knit. We were so blessed to share in your bond over the last four and a half years. You lived full, long lives together, and died within days of each other. If we could all enjoy such a committed bond! Our relationship started somewhat distant, and yet ended so close and tender. Barney, though you were a reclusive curmudgeon, in time, Hazel and your paralysis softened your ways, making you receptive to our heartfelt gestures. Hazel, you were always the ambassadress, approaching everyone for lovin's, happily enduring the wide-eyed attention of the Under Five crowd. Your gentle ways and strong spirits are permanently impressed upon the hearts and minds of several young children who still speak of you dearly. Still missing The Biggins, With love, Christine & David, and Helena
Jangle
We are glad you were brave enough to hang on until you felt safe with us. Although we only knew you for a short time, we will remember your sweet, gentle nature. You are missed. Katherine & Brian, Ralph & Alice
Margaret Anne Mouse
Our little Mouseketeer, with your gorgeous brown eyes and super-soft white fur, we are lost without you. We cannot watch movies without missing your warm body pressed up against us under the blankie in the cuddle chair. We miss you motor-mousing around the room and then being a mountain goat on the couches. For nearly seven years, you ruled the den your way. Your sudden departure was rather a shock, but Colby is doing his best to help us heal. Snuggle on, Maggie Mouse. With our unending love, Christine & David, and Colby
Walter
Walter, you sweet and feisty boy, just like the grumpy old man you were named for...how brave you were to the end! Neglected until you were nine years old, you blossomed under our love and gave back much more than you asked, charming and touching us with your sofa-time licks and snuggles. We wish we could have known you as a young bunny and given you the loving life you deserved - and now, oh, how we miss you! We hope your afterlife will be far happier than this earthly one. Carol, David and bunny pals Eddie, Callie, Mattie, Josie, Marcey and Honey Bunch
Nestor
You sweet little angel. Our home will never be the same again without your spunky and mischievous ways. You took a piece of all our hearts, when you left us so quickly, and we will never stop missing you. Keep Nathan company in Bunny Heaven. We will take care of your lady love, Lunetta, and your best buddy Manley, who both miss you very much. You are forever in our hearts, Dawn, Tom and Austin.
Nathan
You left us much too soon, but we still fell your spirit in our home and in our hearts. You are missed every day by your mate Sammy, and by the humans that loved you more than you could ever imagine, Dawn, Tom and Austin. Rest in peace you dark handsome man bunny.

Mo
We loved your sweet, endearing, gentle nature and strong spirit; snuggling with your soft, silky fur; watching your bunny dances. Just being with you put smiles on our faces and brightened our days. We miss you dearly and hope that you are with your buddy, Thal. With love from Denise, Ronnie and Auntie Andrea.

Thal
We loved all of the many facets of your personality, especially your natural curiosity, your feistiness, and the warm welcome you always gave to a familiar face. You brought joy to so many lives, and will be truly missed. From Andrea in Loving Memory of Thal, Pet and Friend of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald A. Mura, Jr.

Patch
Your little spirit is now without pain. Your teeth and mouth will no longer fail you. Little one may you enjoy lots of snuggles on laps.

Holbrookie!

Holbrook
Thank you for 10 wonderful years of your unique and exquisitely naughty self. It is not the same without you here to pilfer, rummage, destroy, torment, and create general chaos. Coco and I miss snuggling with you and getting covered in big wet Brookie-kisses. Good-bye my speckled friend. - Kissies on the face! Love HolbrookieMom Linda & Coco

Murray
The tables are now turned. I know you are whole now. Happy, healthy, free of pain. Looking down from above. Watching over me. Taking care of me. Protecting me. I know I will be OK, despite the huge hole you have left in my heart, because you will always be a part of me, just like those who came before you and those who will follow. Thank you for being a part of my life, for allowing me to care for you, rewarding me with bunny kisses. Thank you for teaching me, helping me to grow, to understand who I am. In Loving Memory, Kathy
Magic
Life doesn't always seem fair to those who leave us too soon. Oh, sweet, soft, Magic, you will never be forgotten even though your time here with us was short. Your soulful eyes, vocalness and sweet disposition will spend eternity in our hearts. You've touched so many lives along the way, we are all grateful for having known, cared for and loved you. We can only hope you found your forever home before you left this Earth. Friends will be reunited, and we all will embrace that day. Joanne, Ian, Sydney, Suzanne and Cherryl.
Fuzzbit
The human heart is empty our friend. You, who finagled your way into a home which was to become your own. You, who had horrible litterbox habits until you spent the weekend in the bathroom and made us realize that bunnies know much more than we give them credit for. You, who enjoyed each meal as if it were your only. Beautiful, big red bunny, may you and Nigel find yourselves once again enjoying each other’s company. May you never be separated again, not even for a moment. Love, Joanne and Ian
Nigel
Nigel, you left so suddenly we didn't have a chance to say goodbye and tell you one final time how much you were loved, but undoubtedly you knew that. You never ceased to amaze us with your zest for life and loving disposition. We'll keep looking for you at the top of the stairs, patiently waiting for your food or a noserub. Fuzzbit misses you, sweetheart -- we all miss you. Joanne and Ian.
Snowman
For all of us who have had the pleasure of sharing our lives with a New Zealand White, we know that great things come in large packages with pink eyes and soft white fur. Snowman was a gentle soul whose life was not always fair to him. We hope that he enjoyed his time with us in the warmth of our hearts and home. May he now find himself in eternal bliss, snuggling with his long lost companion, Chocolate. Joanne and Ian
Sugar and Belle
In memory of Belle (laying down) and Sugar (sitting up), departed this earth separately, but recently reunited for eternity. Our home and our hearts seem very empty without each of you.
