Forever is right. My first 2 buns both passed nearly 7 years ago. I just can't stop missing them.

Carrott was a big orange colored ball of mush..he was really sweet andhad huge ears. Frisky was a black bunny with white hairs scatteredaround, she was peppered or something.. she had alot of attitude andwas the boss of the other bunnies. Penny was a little sweetheart...shewas the only one allowed in the house to play.sadly i dont have apicture of Frisky or Carrot, but i'll try to find the one of Penny

Tank

(and Chef Wally and Godiva, too)

Its been a bad week (if not a bad month) on other bunny forums... inparticular, thegranddaddy 'Petbunny' mailing list, whichstill uses the list server method of delivering its news, landed in mymailbox yesterday with the sad news that two of its most infamousmembers -- Sir Wally Bravepaw (the list's food critic) had gone to thebridge, just hours after another much-loved veteran, Godiva, thehomeland security bun (who, when I first signed on was intheawkward position of not having a home). I didn't know thesebunnies, nor did I 'know' their 'slaves', other than through theirwonderfully penned journals and stories. The sense of losewas none-the-less profound.

A day later,before I even had a chance to postthisshorttribute to these small 'friends', thatsame feeling strikes much closer to the RO home with news tricklingacrossthe Internet that Tank, an RO legend,passedaway while being spayed.

I have no other details, but I'm sure others will.

Tank was the subject of one of the most successful 'Bunny Railroad'rescues(although in this case,the Tank Train)in ROhistory asRabbitgirl sought to save her from an uncaringbreeder and seek for her a better life.

She did -- with the help of many others on RO. After findingher, and going through a nail biter false pregnancy, thetraineventually pulled into Gypsy's station asthe rest of uscheered from the sidelines. This loss willbedevastating for many.

This news comes only hours after Emily emailed Rose (Rabbitgirl) acongratulatory note about beingconfirmed as the newestRabbits Only moderator.

It will be a muted celebration.

Bunny love can be so happy, and so so sad.

RIP Tank... :rainbow:

:tears2:I'm so saddened to hear of Tank's passing. She touched so many people's lives.

 

[Snuggys Mom]

Tank's passing is very hard to take.

I'm just so thankful that she knew real love in her last months with Gypsy.

Thank God Rose rescued her and gave her a real life, no matter howshort. Every single person involved in that train is an angel.

R.I.P. Tank

ohh noo,this is such devestating news,i had readthe whole story about tank and i made sure to keep checking that postfirst every time i logged on,it was just so much of a touchingstory,and when everyone finally made plans to transport tank to gypsy,ithought these people are angels,they all showed so much love to gettank to a forever home,and what that bunny had went through in thebeginning,it really did break my heart,and what rose did to find herand save her,that is just dedication,you know.

gypsy must be so shattered by this,im shedding tears at the moment for tank,and for gypsys broken heart.

of course i never knew tank personally,but with all the posts abouther,i got to know that bunny in spirit,the way rose posted everythingabout her,we all got to know tank just by her posts,and when tankfinally reached gypsy i thought wow this bunny is going to be so happyand settled now.

my heart is crying for you,little tank girl

 

[AmberNBuns]

As was stated before, the only thing that can evenslightlyease the pain is knowing that Tank had a wonderful lifeaftershe was rescued. This is the most important thing.

Tank, you will be dearly missed - you have touched the heart of many.:heart:
Rose, we all know your pain and you are in our prayers.
