Oreo Passed Away Today

We've had some bad luck in our house this month. First Charlie passed then today we found Oreo gone too.

We don't know what killed her but all that was left was fluff and fur. Our yard is lined with chicken wire so we know it wasn't a dog. We're thinking raccoon or possum. I found her, thank goodness it wasn't the kids.

So now she is buried with her best friend, Charlie. Right about on his head, Jared said, because that was one of her favorite places to sit. He'd lick her and lick her, they'd play tag and eat each others food. Unless Charlie was really hungry, then he'd bump her around to the other side of his bowl so they could eat at the same time.

Oreo was Aspens sweetest little pet for the last 4 years. She started out sleeping in Aspens room in a little cage. Look how cute and tiny she was!

Just a little ball of fluff. Who wouldn't want to bring her home. And yes, we are positive she was a girl. Aspen was very specific that she wanted a girl bunny. Oreo's Birthday was Easter 2007, so she was about 3 1/2.

This is our very fast neighbor friend, Sophia, one of the few that was quick enough and gentle enough to catch up with Oreo and be able to pet her once Oreo was let out into the back yard.

Phoenix sometimes caught her and sometimes didn't. :)

No she wasn't all just fluff and cuddles. Being a rabbit she did like to burrow.

And she ate every leaf off of this tree. At one point she made her way into my garden and ate EVERY little green plant I had just planted the day before.

Oreo was a good fluffy bunny. She was an indoor/outdoor pet. She loved to be snuggled, and would lick your feet if you stopped petting her. Jared would never pet her long so she'd hop around and around his feet, finally thumping her feet on the ground and leave behind a little round present of "thanx for not petting me." She usually got thrown out of the house when she did this. :) We loved to feed her strawberries and watermelon because her little white face would be covered in red juices. Then her little tongue would dart all over cleaning her off.

Oreo was an awesome pet. I would recommend a bunny to anyone, especially if you can't have cats because of allergies, like us. Bunnies are sweet and snugly and we were lucky to have our Oreo for so long.
