Karen and Paul,
I am so sorry for your loss of the incomparable Miss Hoppy. I remember how both of you glowed when you bragged about the best bunny in the world.
Godspeed Miss Hoppy.

Godspeed Miss Hoppy.

Like other posters have already mentioned, I wish today for the talent to write one of those famous original poems to honor Miss Hoppy. Yet when I read Catty's offering, I knew that the best tribute had already been given. I hope she will allow our :love: to be added to her inspired thoughts.
Karen and Paul, you know we grieve a bit with you, even if we cannot imagine the totality of your grief. I am sorry for your loss, yet celebrate the many years you had the fortune to share with Miss Hoppy.
I'm posting here a request of Miss Hoppy, now free to run free. If you deem to make any stops on your way to the Rainbow Bridge, know that you have a special invitation here. Note: I have a little dish of raising sitting on the counter.
Karen and Paul,
I am so sorry to hear that the sweet little Head Bunny of Pet Talk has gone to the Rainbow Bridge.:(
I know that at Pet Talk every pet is special but I think that as the official Pet Talk mascot, Miss Hoppy was the Most Special Pet of all.
She had a wonderful, long life with you two.
She will be missed by everyone here at Pet Talk.
Sending hugs to the both of you and Samantha sends some headbumpies and purrs to you as well.
(My hope is that the poem will have all the love in it that anyone wants to send)
Rest In Peace Miss Hoppy! I know we will all miss you terribly! You were such a great lil mascot! Karen and Paul, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Dear Karen and Paul, I am so sorry to read that you have lost miss Hoppy. She was our very special mascot for Pet Talk, and it just seems unreal she’s not with us anymore. :( She was such a special girl.
I hope it give you some comfort that miss Hoppy lived a long and happy life with you, and also that she went peaceful, and surrounded with love.
Miss Hoppy, you had the bestest life you could wish for, and you were known all around the world - and loved by so many. Your mom and dad will miss you very much, but you will always have a place in their hearts. :love:
Run and hop free at the RB, miss Hoppy, I’m sure there will be lots of parsley and grass for you - and please send your mom and dad a little sign that you’re OK.
Karen and Paul, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you at this sad time.
((((((hugs))))))
Oh Karen & Paul, my condolences on the passing of Miss Hoppy- Pet Talk's official mascot. May she rest in peace and hop happy at the Rainbow Bridge.
:( awww Karen and Paul, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Miss Hoppy. ((hugs)) to both of you. You were very blessed to have had her such a long time and for her to have been a "young bunny" in heart and spirit up until the end. Sending prayers your way for God to help comfort you during this time.
Rest in Peace Miss Hoppy.
((hugs))
Traci
A sad day :(
Play happily at the Bridge dear Miss Hoppy
Karen, I am so sorry. Miss Hoppy, I miss you already. What a great bunny.
Aww:( so sorry for your loss
Miss Hoppy you were one in a million. You were loved by so many. May you watch over Karen and Paul and send them happy memories from time to time.
It hurts to loose a pet but it hurts even more when that pet has become just as important as any family member. Live long and forever in our hearts.
Oh, no... Karen & Paul, my heart and deepest sympathies go out to the both of you. I am terribly sorry for your loss... Love and prayers....:(:(
Oh, Karen and Paul, I am SO very sorry! What a sad, sad loss for our PT family!:( What an amazing life she had because of you! I don't think I have ever known of another bunny to live such a long and loved life! She was not only the best bunny ever, but the very luckiest as well!
RIP sweet little Miss Hoppy and tons of (((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))) to your mommy and daddy!
Kim
Thank you so much everyone, and thank you for the poem, Candace. Every little thing around the house brings memories of her. I am most dreading telling the neighborhood children, but I know they will take it in stride, being young.
Oh no..... I am so sorry to hear about Miss Hoppy's:love: passing..... ; she is our much loved PT-mascot, and she will be so forever and ever!
Dear Miss Hoppy:love: play happily at the Rainbow Bridge; my RB-bunnie Billie will be waiting for you at the entrance! She was so fond of little bunny-treats too, so I am sure she will show you all the "good spots" up there!!
Dear Karen & Paul, Miss Hoppy was the luckiest bunny in the whole petworld! She had both of you 2 to care for her! That is why she stayed with you for over 11 years!! Remember all the good moments you had with her :love:
This is a sad day for so many humans: all Pettalkers! RIP, sweet Miss Hoppy!!
Karen and Paul, I'm very sorry to learn about Miss Hoppy's passing! What a brave rabbit she was, fighting her terrible disease last year. Now it seems that it was her age that took her... :(
She lived such a long and happy life, she must have been a VERY happy bunny to live such an incredible long life with her beloved humans...
R.I.P. sweet Miss Hoppy, and have fun at the bridge. :love::love::love:
Your mommy and daddy will miss you so much, and so will all your PT friends...
Will PetTalk ever be the same without its sweet little mascot?
Kirsten
I´m not sure why.... but beside the sadness among Miss Hoppy´s passing... I got this feeling that PT has extended to the RB....
and PT is not only all over the world... but also ALL over.....
she did have a long happy life and we all wish all our pets were eternal... but her time came up and her duty is not to be the PT Mayor at the RB so when we all meet up again we have PT still running...many members were already waiting there so she´ll not be clueless around there...
once again.... I feel your pain and know how hard it is... but when you see the life, love and all great thing you provided to her you can´t help but smile for all the happy moments she gave you back....
That's a nice thought, Isabel, and we think the Miss Hoppy graphic you made is lovely. I just said to someone on the phone that I know God will explain to my Sheba dog, who has been up there since I was 12 years old, that this bunny is not to be eaten, and that she and Miss Hoppy can be friends. And I am sure many of the Pet Talk bunnies up at the Rainbow Bridge have greeted her, and shown her where the tastiest grass is ...
We too are sorry to read of the passing of Miss Hoppy, who had a great life to pass on at 11, half again the normal life span of a Domestic Rabbit, which shows how well craed for and loved Miss Hoppy is.
The Pet Angels have welcomed Miss Hopy with open arms , and the first run through that Big Salad Bar is hers!!!
And she misses Karen and Paul, but will be there to lead them in Paradise.
One Fine Day.
I am so sorry to hear of Miss Hoppy's passing. May she rest in peace at the RB. :(
Dear Karen and Paul,
Every Sunday morning at church, I take some time to silently pray for all animals especially our beloved PT companions. How sad it was to learn that your sweet Miss Hoppy has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. Because of you, she knew a life full of love and loved you so much in return.
This gentle and wonderful creature of God was a blessing to everyone. We may never know how many came to love and respect animals because they had the joy of meeting her.
Rest in peace, Miss Hoppy, and play hard at the Rainbow Bridge! You will always live in the hearts of those who knew and loved you :love::love::love:
Please accept my most sincere condolences. I am so very sorry for your loss.
Oh no. :(
I am so very sorry, Karen and Paul. If any pet was iconic of these boards, it had to be Miss Hoppy. The age she lived to is amazing; proof indeed of how well cared for she was.
I shall miss her a lot, and am sad that my absence prevented me from reading about her recent activites.
RIP Miss Hoppy, and *hugs* to Karen and Paul.
I just found out from Freedom(Sandie) on Miss Hoppy's passing.I am sure she was a well loved member of your family and by her extended family here on Pet Talk.I know how how it is to lose a part of our family Ruffles 6 years ago.Ruffles may have greeted her already at Rainbow Bridge My codolences to you and and your husband on her loss,she will be missed.
:love: May Miss Hoppy rest in Peace :love:
I guess the Rainbow Bridge just got a celebrity - Miss Hoppy -:love: -:D

Karen & Paul:
We are so sorry to hear of Miss Hoppy's passing, but know she is playing hard at the Bridge.
You must have done something right for her to live 11 years! That in itself is amazing. I am sure she is at peace now.
Bunny & Kitties
Karen & Paul, I'm so sorry the PT mascot Miss Hoppy has gone to the fields of clover and dandelion greens.:( You gave her a wonderful happy life that so many other bunnies never get to have. She was a family member instead of sitting lonely in a cage outside all year. I'm sure you'll both miss those tickly bunny whiskered kisses. :(
RIP pretty Miss Hoppy.
We're so sorry for your Miss Hoppy's passing:(
Rest In Peace Dear Sweet Miss Hoppy!
So sorry Karen and Paul for your loss.
Know she was very loved,and forever greatful.
   I remember waking up and before I opened my eyes feeling something creepy all around my mouth. All I could image was an enormous daddy longlegs spider on my face. When I opened my eyes, I was relieved to find Miss Hoppy resting on my chest with her head right next to my face with her numerous whiskers surrounding my mouth. With all my attention drawn to her whiskers I never felt her slight weight on my chest. The second time it happened it was also startling.
   I remember waking up when Hoppy was at the other end of the bed when she suddenly began to thump alerting us to danger. I saw my hand moving under the covers toward my head which looked like a creature heading toward me. When Miss Hoppy was young she always ran at the slightest sign of danger often thumping a warning to us while running. Except for this time when she did not think she was in any danger but she thought I was. She was a caring friend.
   Once I was sick with a temperature resting in bed. Hoppy must of also known this because she frantically tried to help me by combing my skin for imperfections and repeatedly tying to pull them out with her teeth. After three or four pulls without success she would move on to another area. This did not hurt but it was very annoying, of course, I knew Hoppy was doing the best she could to help me.
   I miss Hoppy. It's lonely without her.
I read this sad announcement last night and just couldn't find the words to post anything. I haven't been around here very long in comparison to others, but I had read the entire thread about Miss Hoppy and her ordeal. I looked forward to seeing the pictures that were posted of her and her white patch of fur. I'd read in the gathering thread of her recent decline in health and had hoped for a recovery as I am sure you did as well. I had a dear bunny as a pet as a child. I had other pets also, but it is only one kitty that I lost 2 years ago and that sweet bunny that I still dream about. They really touch our lives deeply. You'll feel this loss for many years to come, even though time will help ease the pain. I do hope that you get comfort from the comments here and support from others that knew Miss Hoppy. It is wonderful to remember and recount the nice memories. Feel free to continue to post some of these small activities with us. Please accept my sincerest sympathies.
I also wanted to mention how moved I was to see not only that the Pet of the Day websites were updated, but even more than that, I noticed that Karen took the time to welcome a new poster last night. I realize that you have it set where you have to approve new members and posts won't show up until that is done. But I was really touched that Karen took the time to welcome that new member despite going through the loss of you baby.

Please accept our sympathies. :love:
Miss Hoppy may be gone, but she will never leave your heart :love:
Dear Karen and Paul, please accept my sincere condolences at the passing of Miss Hoppy to enjoy everything at the Rainbow Bridge. I know how very sad her passing is for you and Paul. I felt the same way when my beloved Thai went to the Bridge. I still have the stuffed rabbit you sent me when I had my knee replaced and when I look at it I think of Miss Hoppy.
I am so sorry to hear about Miss Hoppy. I know her memories will bring you comfort in time.
Hugs to you and Paul.
I am so sorry to hear about Miss Hoppy, my heart is breaking for you and Paul.
Rest in Peace sweet Hoppy bunny, we still love you dear heart.
:(:(:(
Ashley
Sending you hugs from the left coast.
The most wonderful thing about our pets is that they never leave our hearts.
Give the neighborhood kids a hug too!:(
My heartfelt condolences. :(
She was the first bunny mascot I met and truly inspiring. I'm sure Sisi welcomed her at the RB bridge with a bouquet of parsley and dandelions.
I was so saddened to hear of Miss Hoppy leaving - I know she lived a long and happy life because she had you, Karen and Paul.
Grasshopper is now a part of me, no more sadness or aching - and Spencer has not filled the void she left but taken his own rightful place in my life.
We will all mourn and miss Miss Hoppy as she inspired this best of places to come to. How appropriate that she will be remembered on Memorial Day from now on. And when you least expect it - someone will run or hop into your life . . . .
May your hearts find comfort - much love to you two from Kohala and Spencer and Dadcat:love:
And many,many thanks to Isabel for her email. :love:
:( I became a huge bunny lover, thanks to Miss Hoppy. I'm so saddened by her passing. Karen and Paul, wish I could hug you in person. The resident "Bridge Watcher" will make our sweet girl welcomed and loved.
Karen and Paul,
I am so terribly sorry for your loss of Miss Hoppy. :( I have no doubt in my mind that she was loved from ear to toe and that she knew it whole heartedly. She was very blessed to have you as her little bunny parents.
My sincerest condolences go out to you very wonderful people.
God speed to the bridge sweet little one. I'm sorry I never got the opportunity to meet you.
Dear Karen and Paul,
I'm so sorry to read that Miss Hoppy has gone to the Bridge. You gave her a wonderful life filled with love. Farewell, sweet little bunny.
