My darling raincloud, MERL. She’s been one of our family rabbits for the last 6 years, and likely one of the last bunnies we’ll own. She developed an ear infection that hasn’t gotten better, so we’re making the decision to let her go today to ensure she doesn’t suffer.
I’m making this post mostly for myself so I can remember all the things I loved about her,
– Her full name was The Museum of English Rural Life Fishmaster StarCraft 15 Jones [my actual last name]
– Her very favorite food was dandelion stems, though she ate SO much cardboard in her time that it’s kinda up in the air
– Her bonded partner is Kofi, who will be getting a whole lot of attention after today (any tips on how to help bunnies who have lost their partners?) and they were nearly inseparable.
– She was such a cuddlebun. The second you touched her head, she’d flatten herself to the ground and beg for more pettings if you stopped. If you made the motion of petting the air from across the room, she’d come running over.
– Holy Moly that bunny was fat. She was real fluffy, but REAL chunky.
– I love her. A whole lot.
– My favorite thing to do when introducing people to her was say “I think she’d make an excellent hat”. She was so soft.
We did our best to give her the kindest, gentlest, safest, and happiest life we could. I only hope she knows that as we say goodbye.
