before you flame me for trying to get a bunny and a dog to live together in harmony... remember that i did it just fine for many years...
but today that ended...i awoke to find that Archi had died, at the "paw" of O'Reilly. He just isn't wired like Lakota is and Oliver was, to cohabitate with other critters. He had been doing fine for a month or so, but part of that was due to the fact that he had an injury keeping him from feeling great.
made me miss Oliver again today... and i'm REALLY missing Archi. This is hard.
this site will remain up as it is, a tribute to my best bun, Archi Ann, unique in all the world. she was soooo cool, all attitude and character.
i will continue any animal and personal postings at my blog, Archi's Mum (please update your bookmarks).
Ollie and Archi Ann (Lakota too but not in the pic) having popcorn together on "Movie Night"
i used to call this the "Family Pic" they really did all get along so well
Archi chillin' with Alex
Lakota wasn't quite sure when Archi first moved in... but they became buds...
"Move it Lakota, I want to sit under the cool air too!"
"Thanks for being my friend guys, I'll miss you all."see you in heaven
guardian - swing, swang, swung
it's hard to say goodbye my friend but this waiting can't last forever
sooner or later the sun must set ending this time together
i wish that i had one more chance to spend another day with you
and even though i know i can't i'll see you in heaven
...
still i wish that i had one more chance to say i love you one more time
and even though i know i can't i'll say it in heaven
To Jo and Captain Rupert - Thank you for the beautiful painting that includes Archi, with perfect front legs, playing "Kiss Chase" with the squirrels... it's like a picture of her in heaven and will now be for me, a lasting treasure of memory...
Thank you ALL for your friendship over the blogs for so long. It's a fun thing and I have appreciated you all in so many ways. Thanks for the prayers, "purrayers," nose bumps, etc... this is REALLY HARD for me ... archi was a great friend.
i don't have a decision on my other two buns, chances are I will make the outdoor enclosure bulletproof and let them stay there. i'm torn but i still think they will have a better life here, semi enclosed, then they would some places. but my hopes for having a house rabbit again have vanished because O'Reilly has crossed the line.
