Happy Birthday Buddha

Happy Birthday my baby boy!!!
Well, we're not sure when your birthday really is. But Feb. 21, 2006 is when we adopted you and was the day we said was your birthday. You were probably around 3 years old when we got you. What a handsome little man you were and are!!! I was so happy to be your new mom.

I don't know how much you knew what was going on. But I hoped that you were happy with your new family. Of course your new Dada loved you. Less than we week after you came home with me, we bought you a new room (cage). You had all kinds of toys!

Not too long after, I took you to see the vet, Dr. Julie Smith at Friendship Hospital for Animals. Lucky you that we did that. Because you got a bigger room (the dining room). And then we made a date for you to meet a wife-bun at the Colorado House Rabbit Society in Broomfield. There you met and fell in love with Brigit and the rest is history.

I miss you so much Buddha. Yes, I'm better, Dada is good and Briggie is doing fine. But we miss you so much. I always think about you before I go to bed. I wonder if there was anything more that I could have done for you. I wonder if I shouldn't have done certain things. Buddha baby, I just miss you so much. And I'm so sorry that I couldn't save your life. But I guess it was your time to go. That's something that I'm having a hard time dealing with. For all it's worth Buu, you taught me a lot. I never knew that bunnies could be wonderful members of the family. It's quite amazing how you each have your own personalities.

Take care my Buu-Buu. We love and miss you so much!!!! And Happy Birthday baby!!!!

Thank You!

Thank you everyone for your prayers and love when my little Buddha crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge. It was really hard for me. But I focused on the fact that I still have Brigit and she needs me. Well....for those that knows Briggie, yah...she really needed me! LOL!!! As Brent has said before, she's Independent. We think she's okay.

Lots of love to all!!!!

Bunnie Blog

I started a blog for my angel Buddha and my Baby Girl Brigit. I will try to get on there often.

I had created a Mulitply page for Buddha, before Briggie and did not get on there much.

So, now I will make time to get on there and capture my babies tails!

Check it out. I'll have my Buddha tails and pics. And add Briggie tails too!!!

Oh...how to get to Bunnie Tails? Go to View My complete Profile. And look under, My Blogs.
Hop on over there!!!

I love you Buu-Buu, my Angel bunny.

I love you my baby girl, Briggie!! It's you and me now Baby-doll!!

New blog for my bun-buns

This blog is for my bunnies....Brigit Colleen...aka Briggie, Brigges, Brigg, Briggie-Baby and affectionately, Piglet.
And it's also for my Buddha Kiko aka Buu, Buu'd, Buu-Buu and now my Angel. He passed on to the Rainbow Bridge on Monday January 05, 2009 around 2:45 - 3:00 am.

I had created Buddha a Muliply page but never got on there. But that was before we adopted or rather Brigit adopted us.

So...this is for my babies. I'm going to try to get on here and add tails about my Angel Buu and tails about Ms. Briggie!!! Hopefully I can get on here more often.

I love you Buu-Buu. And of course, I love you my Baby Girl Briggie.

Buddha Songs

These are songs that popped into my mind. I don't know why. Well, on the Duffy one, maybe because I have been listening to her CD a lot.

Anyways...here's it.

1.) Hanging On Too Long by Duffy.
I think it's mainly for the sentence Hanging On too Long. Because I didn't want Buddha to quit fighting for
his life. I wanted him to live. I didn't want him to go and leave us.

2.) I Honestly Love You by Olivia Newton-John
Because I honestly love my little boy. Not listening to any of the other words but I Honestly Love You.

3.) How Can You Mend a Broken Heart by The Bee Gee's
Because that's how I feel. I lost my baby boy. My heart is broken. How can you mend that?

In Memory of Buddha

We got back Buddha today. When we took him to the vet yesterday, Dr. Smith said it could take a couple of days before we get his ashes back. I got the call this morning that they had it. I couldn't handle going there by myself, so Brent met me there late this afternoon.

His ashes are in a nice little container. On the back it has our vet, Friendship Hospital for Animals. Me and Brent's name. Buddha's name. His Breed, which is Dwarf. His color, which is Thuringer. And his weight, which is 3.9 pounds.

I am so glad that we did the private memorial. Dr. Smith guaranteed that it will only be Buddha. Now we have him. We're not going to spread his ashes around the back yard. Number one, the ground is hard. And number two, we'd like to have him wherever we may go.

We even got his little paw prints. His little, itty-bitty paw prints. He was such a small little boy.

This is my Buddha double. When we first got Buddha, it wasn't too long before we had to go to St. Louis for a conference. We had my then boss, Bradley and his family (Kathi [his wife], Kevin and Justin [Brad's two boys] and the cat [I don't remember the cat's name] and Raider the Black lab) watch Buu. I knew I would miss Buddha so much that I bought this brown little stuffed bunnie. The bunnie doesn't look like Buu, but he's brown and small like my Buu, so it will do.

I really miss my boy. I love you Buu-Buu!!!!

Missing My Buddha

I'm not doing so well today. I'm missing my baby boy so much! It hurts something awful! I only cried three times today. First two were hard cries.

Briggie and I did some work around the room. I removed one of the three litter boxes and hay boxes - this one was on the floor. We had four water bowls in the room and I removed two. I gave her a pink stuffed rabbit, one that she got for Easter, to keep her company. She has groomed it.

She is doing well with Buddha gone - at least from what we can tell. She's eating like her normal self! No slowing down for her there! She still doesn't like to be petted. So I guess it's looking like she might not go into depression. Which is good. I was talking to Debby, who runs the Northeastern satellite of the Colorado House-Rabbit society, said that if Briggie was depressed after losing Buu, we might need to find her another mate. I hope that Briggie will not get depressed.

It's not that I don't love her and care for her because I do. But I know I won't be able to handle getting another bunny. Then when I lose either Briggie or the other bunny, I'll have to look for another mate for that one. It will be a never ending cycle, which I know I cannot handle.

I will do whatever Briggie wants though. Brent thinks she will do fine by herself. She just has that air of independence about her. Which I'm sure is true.

So anyways, that is our story for right now. Why does losing a loved one, even a pet hurt so much? Why is there death? I just wish it didn't hurt so much.

I love you Buu!!!!
