Some very sad news - Dr. Melody Frankenbunny passed away on Friday August 13th at the bunny emergency vet.
Melody developed health problems last fall - kidney and
liver failure due to age. She also had some chronic dental problems. She was better through April and then started a decline. We had a lot of vet visits and treatment but I knew it was only a matter of time before we lost her. I had to take her to the bunny ER the day after we lost Neko, our chronically ill rescue calico, and they said there was nothing to be done except euthanasia as her kidneys were totally shot. Melody went to the Rainbow Bridge in the early hours of Friday the 13th, 08/13. Leave it Mel to pass on Friday the 13th. Bunny Drama Queen to the end.
I am just now able to cope with her loss. Well sort of. Writing this a month after the loss is making me cry all over again. The house has seemed so empty without
my big bouncy grey girl. I miss those floppy soft ears and enormous feet. Mel
was 10.5 years. There is no more Mel to dance for her salads, run for President or terrorize the human world. No more Lagomorph Liberation Front, no more cloning herself to create an army of evil gray bunnies to subjugate the human race.
Mel was cremated and has a beautiful little cherrywood casket with her name engraved on a brass plate.
The ER made a little plaster cast of one of her back feet after she had passed.
I figure Mel and her friend Scone are off binkying in a bunny playground filled with parsley, romaine, bananas, craisins and a few mountains of purloined cash and buckets of carrot martinis.
Mel survived her friends Wilbur Igor, Dubya, Frodo and Presley. She leaves behind her bunny boxer boyfriend, M. Ali and 14 cats. The cats appear to miss her chasing them and goosing them in the rear. Maybe not.....
We won't be getting another bunny because the cats are al agng and taking a lot of time and vet care. Beside, sooner or later someone will dump one at the cat shelter where we volunteer and it will need a home.
I almost forgot to mention Mel leaves behind a whole heap of human friends but especially her Aunt Slavetoabunny who was the only one able to trance her. Mel bequethed her pink tiara to Aunt Pattybut I think I'm gonna' be rude and keep it on top of the casketjust in case another dramatic diva bunny ever enters our lives.
