She spent the day

 with us all around her. Millie drifted quietly to the Summer Lands early evening Sunday

My girl knew love

 

and friendship

 

 

She was perfect. I will miss her like crazy. If you already know please don't feel obligated to comment. I just wanted to share a bit more of just how wonderful she was.

I can only give the quote credit to Lou Reed. Don't know if he wrote....only know he sang it.

So I kept asking

"Why doesn't anyone ever adopt the big white bunnies?"
So I adopted some.
Am I trying to fill a void?
Not anymore more than usual or anyone else.
Am I going to become a hoarder?
No
Am I glad these two sillies are at my house?
I guess I don't have to answer that one huh?

Meet Tilly and Tyson. They make it a nice round 9 at the house. They are learning to explore new things. Tilly is a bit bigger and a little more brave than Tyson. They are terrific but not so much according to a few other buns around here. I look forward to many adventures with these two.

Meet Mr. Bojangles. He is an elder man I have taken a shine too. He lives at Triple O Equine Sanctuary in Oklahoma. You can visit them here....http://www.tripleoranchequinesanctuary.org/
Bo turned 32 this year. These folks have my utmost admiration. The plight of horses is inexcusable.

The Carousel

A lot of you already know that I lost my dear mother a week ago. I will blog more about her later. It will be therapeutic but not now. Its not time yet.

My mom's favorite little bunnies at Heartland were/are Sampson and Jack. I decided to honor her by bringing them home with me. A couple of years ago Sam and Jack's mom had to bring them to Heartland. Their mom was very ill and could not take care of them any longer. I remember how frail she looked when she brought them and imagined how I would feel if I were in her shoes. Giving up my babies is something I cant even comprehend. I will take care of them now. They have helped lighten my sorrow just a bit. Sammycakes is curious about everything and follows me all over. Jack is still a bit of a fraidy but we will work on it. Sampson has a very intense gaze and looks intently into your eyes. They are both very small little buns. Welcome to my home boys. I will love you forever.

A big thanks to Rabbits Guy and Bunny Lady. I won the garlic braid contest and just received my prize in the mail. I love me some garlic and will get a lot of use out of it. Thank you so much for that and the yummy bunny treats and sweet postcard they included also. You can visit The House of Rabbits here http://houseofrabbits.blogspot.com/

Thank you all for your emails and comments. I will make it through. Life is a carousel and keeps going around and around. New people get on and others get off. I will miss my mama like crazy.

I look forward to catching up with all of you very soon. So many things still left to do.

Monday Mantra On Sunday

Meet the handsome Gryphon. I met his mom Tracey on Facebook and knew this was Whoosh's long lost twin brother. Gryphon passed very suddenly on Saturday, Aug 18th. Please leave a kind comment for his family. Thank you for letting me share Whoosh's brother Tracey. Godspeed Gryphon.
