I’m sad to report that Bunnita “Pisky” Casique Hoople, bunny companion of 7 years, passed away yesterday afternoon.
Suddenly in the last 3 days she stopped eating well and was having a lot of trouble breathing. It turns out that she had a lot of large and small tumors and that these had reached her lungs. She was in a sadstate, I’m happy that it came on and ended so quickly. In 7 years of life she’d only needed the vet one other time, I can only hope to be so lucky.
She was curious and fearless. When Raul was tearing down the plaster and lathe walls, she hopped right over and started picking up and moving around the pieces of wood that he was (carefully) dropping on the ground. She was sweet and kind. I remember one day, I was sitting on the couch crying about something and she hopped over and started licking my foot to comfort me. A lover of peanut-butter toast, a spoiled brat who always got her way. We are so thankful to have met her and to have been loved by her. Raul says you’ll be there jumping and so happy to see us when we pass over to the other side. We’re both atheists, we don’t believe that at all. But right now, I hope that I am wrong, and I hope that you’ll save us some apples.
Thanks for all the laffs Pisky.

Such a touching remembrance of a beautiful bunny. The sorry and pain will soon be replaced by the happy memories like these. Pets are such family to us 'overinvoled' humans who don't always take time to sniff the parsley or much the peanut butter toast.

Pisky was a beautiful bunny. So sorry to hear of her passing.
Remember the good times. I can just imagine her smacking the peanut butter.

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your furry footed companion. It's so hard to lose a pet, but sharing memories of her will lessen the pain (a teensy weensy bit) and keep her in your heart until you meet again. You are in my thoughts.

I'm so honored to have met her. She granted me some sniffs and it was like the greatest gift. Hugs from my hemisphere, small one. Much love.

Thank you everyone. I'm starting to feel a series of bunny paintings bubbling up inside of me 🙂 I've never been so surprised by an animal before. At first she was just a cute addition. But as she grew up and her personality developed and we spent more time with her, she was constantly amazing us with her hijinx and cleverness and I'm-the-boss-here-hitting-the-floor-with-her-foot-iness. I could tell when she wanted something, because, all-of-a-sudden there she was, running around to get my attention. We got along pretty well, provided that we followed her instructions to the letter 😉

Sad, but happy at the same time. Our Furry friends bring so much to our lives and ask so little in return. Pisky sounds like she was a bundle of happy… you will always hold her in your heart. 🙂

She was a beautiful little girl. So sorry to hear of your loss! If there is such a thing as Bunny Heaven, I know she'll be waiting patiently there for you, ready to boss you around some more. 🙂
Thank you again for your condolences. See the most recent post for an update on how we're doing and to see a drawing I made: Pisky with heart flying up
