My oh so sweet bunny, Cinnamon has gone to RB. It was expected but never the less, it still brings tears to my eyes.
Cinnamon got to meet Siegmar and Barbara as well as Vermontcat and her daughter. She was a little fur ball - long haired bunny.
Cinnamon was a rescue bunny and came to me after being discovered in someone's basement, all by herself, when the Humane Society went in to clear out a slew of cats. I never knew the age of Cinnamon but the House Rabbit Society thought she was grown - they spayed her before I got her. I would say she was at least 2 or 3 when I got her.
She lived free range in my house for awhile. I have chewed walls, sofa, handles to tools - you name it. She was great with the litter box. The cats loved her and would roll all over her. They would also herd her back to her room sometimes. She eventually was treated to a new bunny buddy, Denver, another rescue bunny - a meat rabbit. Denver and Cinnamon became friends after a couple of battles and being kept next to each other for a year! Denver died 1 and 1/2 years ago, living for a few years with us, but having a respiratory infection he could not kick. Cinnamon didn't miss him so much, as he was always eating her food etc. and was a bit of a bully. Denver was at least three times the size of little Cinnamon.
This fall I moved Cinnamon inside (she usually lived on an outside porch, fenced in), but now in her own bedroom, fenced in. I knew she was failing - and after at least seven years with me, I didn't want to put her through a bunch of tests and treatments. She slowed down this week, and when I went to groom her, I noticed she wasn't very spunky. She died that night. I didn't go through with her grooming that night, not wanting to upset her. I think I knew it was her time.
Cinnamon will get buried in the spring, when the ground thaws - she will be buried next to Denver.
Another little friend goes to RB. She has many friends there and will be so happy to see Denver....well, maybe!
Hope you had a good trip Cinnamon. You were loved.

At least she had some good years with you, and now, she is rumping around with miss Hoppy, I'm sure.
