Miss Hoppy Has Died

[Giselle]

I know I'm late, but I just wanted to pass on my condolences, as well.

I know Miss Hoppy is happily bouncing around in green fields at the Bridge, eagerly awaiting the day when we can all see her again. Until that day, we'll keep her memories alive.

It's really times like these that I have to bring a few words of Vonnegut alive. I don't remember the exact quote but it had something to do with the non-linearity of time. All the moments, past, present, and future, exist now. Every happy moment we share with our loved ones existed then and exists today. Nothing we do is ever lost because it is all concrete. So don't mourn for what is gone, but rejoice in what will always be.

Oh no I am soooo very sorry to hear this I will keep you and your husband in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I had more to say that could comfort but I have nothing. Hang in there and at least she didn't suffer.
sending hugs your way

the physical-ness our dearly loved pets may occupy sometimes is "slight" as you know, yet the space they occupy is immense. the sharpness of the pain does ease, the missing eases, but the love and memories shine forever.

Dear Karen and Paul ~

On behalf of all the Pet Talkers who attended the Findlay Gathurins this weekend,
many of who won't be back to their 'puters for a day or more ...

We offer our Most Sincere Condolences on the sad loss of Dear Miz Hoppy,
the Beloved Pet Talk Head Bunny, Mascot, Protector of the Home Office & PT Headquarters,
and Best Bunny Buddy to her Mom and Dad!

May she forever Hop Happily at the Rainbow Bridge,
and **THUMP** proudly beside Lil Sophie in the Drum Section of God's Band.

With Love,
from ALL the Pet Talkers!

I am most dreading telling the neighborhood children,
but I know they will take it in stride, being young.

Little do you know ...
but those Friends of Miz Hoppy (aka the Neighborhood Kids) have prolly
printed up fliers
and are organizing Try-Outs for the position of Second Head Bunny.

Look for the crowd to appear by Saturday morning ...
might want to lay in some extra *raizins* ...

I have it on good authority you guys are Hosting the proceedings!

I'm not sure there was ever a more beloved bunny. What a darling mascot Miss Hoppy has always been for Pet Talk and I know she will continue to be.

Karen and Paul, I have been away for several days and was alerted to this news by my dear friend, Pam. Please know that I send my loves and sympathy to both of you for the loss of your special girl.

Rest in peace, Miss Hoppy.

I am late in posting - which does not mean you have not been in my thoughts and prayers. Miss Hoppy touched many people through you. She was a great mascot for all of Pet Talk and we are glad she lived such a long and hoppy life. Thoughts and prayers will continue for you both!

Karen & Paul,

I'm sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in Miss Hoppy's memories & in those who love you, including all of us here at PT.

I am sorry for your loss. Miss Hoppy was a bunny that was well loved. She lived a wonderful life with the people she loved the most.

[KitCat]

I am sorry for your loss. I am glad you got to spend so much time with her making her happy. I am sure she is watching over you.

[Karen]

Thank you, everyone. I did tell the mom next door and her two littlest children the news this afternoon, and Lydia - the mom - expressed her condolences, and then we talked about what a long life she had, and how they all liked visiting with her.

Also, I wanted to let you all know that if you ever need a very special "exotics expert" veterinarian, Dr. Joerg Mayer is the one who treated Miss Hoppy this fall, he's at Tufts Veterinary School. I let him know the news, and he responded with a lovely note.
