Eulogy for a Bunny

A year ago almost to the day we brought in an old, grumpy little bunny named Bugs. His family no longer could take care of him, and my Wife's boss asked if she would be willing. We obliged and it has been a wonderful journey. Bugs Bunny was there for both the passing of my father and my grandmother, and he gave us comfort throughout all of it in his own, grumpy, old-man ways.

He was a quiet creature, who enjoyed carrots, grasses, his grass pellets (he loved his grass pellets), little flowers from the yard, and peeing in his water dish. I have learned way more about bunnies than I ever thought I would, and his presence was warm through a really tough winter.

It's not fair that life keeps taking from us, and my heart is broken even though he was a small creature. Bugs I hope your life was full and we did right by you, I'm sorry for the silly jokes and being grumpy having to clean out your crate. You will always have a place in our hearts, and we thank you for being with us in these dark years.

God bless those furry little creatures, your creation, for they are Good.
