Do you remember when I got you? How we brought you to the bike shop, and you were in that box, and you were so little? Barely the same size as my palm. We'd just gotten back from visiting my family.
Remember when we moved for the first time? And there was the extra bedroom, so you got your own room? I'd find it so funny how when I'd go in there to feed you, you'd stomp on the floor, then run up and try to nibble on me. I'm really happy that for the most part during your youth, you never had to be in a cage.
Remember how you used to love playing with Astrid when he was a baby? And how you and Suzie would lay around together? I'm not sure if cats and rabbits are supposed to be in love.
I remember that time last winter when you were sick, and I thought you were going to die. But, in the end you were fine, just had an upset stomach. But I remember how badly I cried and how late I stayed up because I didn't want you to be alone.
In a way, I'm kind of sad that you didn't make any babies with Rusty, because I really wanted to have one of your children. But, I guess there are several reasons why I didn't try to breed you again. Hey, you had one night of fun? And you did like it, huh old man?
I knew you were getting older, and that I probably had less then a year with you. But, you know? You took me by surprise. Because you've been acting so healthy lately. Not even the sensitivity you used to have to the bedding. So when you didn't lift your head to me, and you were gone.. It really caught me off guard.
But you know? I'm glad you didn't have any long drawn out illness. I'm glad you went in your sleep, then in any kind of pain. I just wish I'd had more time to prepare. More time with you. Things have been so busy with Malachi around, and I always wanted to let you have your own room again.
I'm really going to miss you, Mr. Bunny. I'm even going to miss all the annoying things you did. Like nibbling on me too hard, and kicking all your filler out, and how you'd never eat your hay. How you'd yank on the water the second you were out, and how you were so picky on what you would chew on.
Or that time I tried to trim your nails, and you kicked/scratched the s**t out of my arm? But, I'm sure we're pretty even, I did make you diet from time to time. xP
I'm going to miss you, Mr. Bunny. You've been around since the beginning. Since before even Harle died. I'm going to miss you, old man. Hopefully, wherever you are, you have infinite pellets, and can't ever get fat. Maybe even some broccoli leaves?
