Eli

My Eli passed away late last night . . .
I missed his bunny kisses so much this morning. He was the sweetest most lovable darling! The cherry on top of everyday. We are honored to live with him for eight happy years . . .

Eli fit all of my 'bunny dreams'. Just perfectly! When we went to go pick him out . . . the man asked me what type of bunny I wanted. "Just a nice bunny". We walked through and looked at several very adorable ones. But Eli was without question the bunny for us. We fell for him the instant he greeted us. Standing on his back paws and his little white pop belly. *melts* His chubby little face, his most beautiful coat and charming personality.

Before we left . . . I asked the man if Eli had a name. "Um . . . no. But he has a tattoo!" (Eli was semi fired from the show biz . . . their loss.) He lifted Eli's ear and read N.I.C.E. Although he was much more than just a n.i.c.e bunny. So very much more.

  2. Oh, Laura...how hard. I just lost a love of my own. My sweet, darling dog Jewel that came into my life when I was twelve died only a short time ago. Every time I turn around I cry over the ache of missing her.

    I know just how you feel, dear, and my heart goes out to you.

  10. Oh, Laura! How sad! I was quite teared up when I read this! I know how terribly sad it can be to have to say goodbye to dear little creatures (though Charlie wasn't very little).
