Magical Cat's Corner

Last Monday it was snowing. The falling snow at twilight was beautiful, and it was a fitting tribute to our snow white bunny. After 14 or so long years of life, he passed away around 5 PM. His name was Bunner.

Bunner loved carrots and apples. He loved to hop around in the backyard and nibble on my flowers. He also loved digging in the dirt, which earned him the nickname "Dirty White Bun". We will miss seeing his bright white figure against the green grass in the spring. He was always excited to go outside after a long winter indoors. In his younger days, he would jump with all four feet in the air. You could almost here a "boing!" when he did that.

It is almost unheard of for a rabbit live 14 years. At the end, he had cataracts and was mostly blind. He had a mass on his chest. He may have had kidney failure. His condition rapidly worsened until he didn't bother getting up and stopped eating and drinking. We knew it was time. The vet said that the one good thing he had was his choppers. He had great teeth for an elderly bun.

We will certainly miss our Dirty White Bun!
