I love this picture of Apollo because it's so funny and shows how sweet he is.
My favorite story would be the one where the kid thought he was the easter bunny and you stole him.

I think it's a great idea.

From Killing the Truck to lounging at aBall Game , No one picture struck me morethan the others , they allare Special , Just as Special asHe was .

Not to mention the Possum Face! I knowthat was one of James' favorites. Apollo was really whatgrabbed my attention when I was first surfing around for bunnyforums. How could he not? A huge white bunny thatrides in baby carriages, goes to baseball games, and is full ofpersonality! I think he's really what drew me in, initially.

Tina, my dear, I am SO at a loss for words.

Whenever I think of the ideal rabbit, I picture your sweetApollo. I tell everyone he is the most socialized andfriendly rabbit ever known.

Hugs! K

Erk...I went to this thread

To get some baseball Apollo pictures...but they were all gone

My favorite picture is one of Apollo at the baseball field. I adoredthe story of how every player would rub his foot for good luck beforethe games!

What a neat idea Tina! It was sad to go back through the oldphotos, but there are so many good memories. Photos fromJeremy's baseball game and photos of Apollo in the Stoller were some ofmy favorites.

That was what I meant to put! Possum face! I love the other one too, along with all of them. He was so very special.

I like these pics, too:

Possum Face!

 

[sfritzp]

These are great! I haven't seen alot of thembefore, but you all have been talking about them so I knew exactly whateach pic was as I saw it!
My favorite - though it is very hard to choose - is the 'Elvis face' one - it is so priceless!
My favorite story is the kid thinking you stole the Easter Bunny! That was hysterical!
He was just a strikeingly beautiful creature of God - and his size just added to his presence!

It is hard to pick a picture or story and I'm going to have to think on that.

I think though that what really struck me about Apollo - was his deeplove for you Tina and his affectionate nature. As you know,this is something I've struggled with when dealing with Tiny because hewasn't socialized.

I'd often read about Apollo and think, "Why can't Tiny be like that...?" and I'd find myself a bit envious.

I think it is just Apollo's nature that made him so special to me...thefact that he loved you so much that he'd break out of his cage to youwhen you're sick. The fact that he put up with you taking allthose pictures....

He was just a very special and unique rabbit and I don't think there will ever be another rabbit like Apollo.....

To me - he was as unique a rabbit as Buck was a person...

 

He was an amazingly beautiful rabbit.The picture of him sleeping is the first oneI ever saw of arabbit sleeping like that. That one and the possum face areprobably my two favorites.

I really loved the opossom face one!!!Afterreading the great stories of apollo, i decided i really wanted aflemish. He had an amazing personality, and wasvery unique.Apollo will live on in memory forever, because i know i will neverforget the impact of just reading the stories and seeing the pictureshad on me. He really loved you tina and you should be very proud tohave such a wonderful bun.

I simply couldn'tdecide on one photo. I chose these particular shots because I thinkthat so much of Apollo's personality shines through them: handsome,regal, silly, sweet, and most of all, loving.

Wollo, you were more than a rabbit.

Love and miss you,
Emily, Rex, Peanut and the rest of the fuzzbutts
