Radar was my second bunny. I fostered him in from the rescue org that preceded SARSBC, although I knew they were shutting down, so he was probably going to be with me forever. He had been born at the shelter, and was just under a year old. Nobody had wanted him. I told Kate, the rescue person, to just bring over the bunny least likely to get another home. She called from her cellphone and said she was on her way with Radar. She was so harried trying to re-home all her rabbits, she barely stopped the car.
He wasn't outgoing and loaded with personality and attitude like Pipp, but Radar was a sweetheart -- a plain black rabbit with a bitten nose and a gentle soul. (Apparently at the rescue, he had been making goo-goo eyes at a bunny named Cookie. He stuck his nose through the bars and she practically bit it off. He just blinked a few times and stuck it back in again).
He met his bunny wife, Darry, a year or so later, and it was love at first sight. She bossed him around mercilessly, but he never complained.
He preferred her to people, he was a little shy, but he'd come out and say hello when humans were around. And he liked his pets once he was used to somebody -- as long as you didn't touch his rather mangled nose.
He was only five, but he had slowed down the last few months. I thought it was a respiratory infection, but the vet said no, he wasn't sure what was wrong with him, but his lungs were clear. I thought the antibiotics had cleared up whatever the problem was, but I guess not.
He passed away early this afternoon.
He will be missed. :bigtears:
