Honey Bunny 1996 - 8/30/13

[maryellen]

I dont know where to start. I brought you home the day before Easter, nicknamed you Honey Bunny(due to Easter being the next day lol) and was just going to foster you. then i thought, no one would want a 17 year old dog., so i just adopted you and told the shelter i was going to keep you as my own you had a great life here in the short 6 months , I just wish i had you for your entire 17 years, as 6 months was too short in my eyes.. You put up with me putting fleece coats on you, bringing you into the pool to keep cool, and you put up with cranky rufus and sadie who didnt know a thing about personal space lol... Your favorite toy was a green tennis ball, and you loved playing catch (even though you couldnt see the ball well lol) when you started to go deaf i figured it was selective hearing lol.... boy was i wrong... the past 2 weeks you started going down hill, i swore i was going to make sure when it was your time you would go with Dignity.. well today you did. i am soo sorry i couldnt stop the seizures.. i tried as hard as i could, but it was not meant to be..

I held you in my arms and lap as you slowly left me. whispering to you to give those other dogs hell up there and show them how to play with a tennis ball.

Run free at the Bridge Honey Bunny, please give sonny, princess and ruby a kiss and hug from me... Ill see you when its my time

What Suzi wrote.

What a six months you gave her! Not many people would adopt a dog her age, you both were lucky to find each other.

[maryellen]

oh i agree dave, and i have dee to thank for honey, she told me about her on one of the hikes in stokes lol..as soon as she told me her age the wheels started turning in my head

[melonie]

I hope to someday make a difference for an elder dog. I couldn't even foster right now because Cleveland is too rough and tumble and doesn't care if the other dog can take it or not. Winston readily adapts his play to the other animal though He's a gentle soul.

ME, you are such an awesome dog mom! No doubt that Honey's last 6 months were the best of her life.

Run free, ole gal!

[loverocksalot]

again Thank You for taking her in. I remember that day well. Having the relief that you were taking her. Even though you wont claim it, I say you are a special person for doing it. Sorry I did not get to meet Honey.

[catstina]

Rest well, Honey bunny! Thank you so much for giving her 6 months of love and happiness.

Maryellen you are one of a kind.God bless you..

[maryellen]

Thanks everyone. Its weird with her not here. I keep looking for her as she was always where i was. I really miss her. Its going to be odd tomorrow going to work and not gating the or other rooms off and having sadie and rufus have free roam of the entire house. Im just a sucker for an old dog lol nothing special about that lol

RIP Honey.

I'm very sorry, ME.

P.s. moving to main board, this isn't OT.

[emilys]

oh so sorry ME.. you gave her the wonderful gifts of a happy 6 months and a peaceful end. Bless you.

[sugar]

ME, I'm really sorry for your loss. You gave Honey what I'm guessing was the best 6 months of her life. She was lucky to have you.

I was thinking about Honey last night. I don't know why, she just popped into my head. Thinking about it today, I like to believe she met up with Wrinks, and Honey is teaching her a thing or two.

[maryellen]

thanks everyone! its so weird with her not here:( even the dogs know she isnt here. mel i bet her and wrinkles are raising hell lol.... yeah, i am so glad i had her, she was in the shelter for 3 weeks and i am soo glad i got to give her a loving home for the remainder of her life ..
