Lord Kenya
Kenya came into our lives thanks to a fortuitous trip to Super Pet, Saturday July 15th, 2006. We saw him and he was everything we'd wanted in a rabbit - including a future companion to our two girls. We couldn't leave without him, and he was named after Starbucks (the Kenyan brew), that we'd just had Tazo tea at. We snuck him into the house & he fit in my purse. Upstairs we played with him for hours on the bed. We'd never known a bunny to lick us, but that's precisely what he loved to do. He licked our feet, arms, legs, noses, and faces for hours. We'd never giggled so much. He was an innocent, precious life and his time ended far too soon.
He was a free roam bunny with the biggest NIC cage of all time. He had his faithful loving companion Tacey. And he loved to give groomz to Nixie, his more autistic female. He loved papaya treats, craisins, bananas, apples, and parsley, and brocolli. And he had huge ears that bounced up and down when he ran. It wouldn't matter what he was doing, even when he was hormonal, he had to come up and greet you with kisses.
Kenya's mobility slowed after he was neutered but we'd figured it was only that he was a Lop, and Lops aren't as active typically. He loved pellets, hay, and had a very strong digestive system. He was the star of countless YouTube features with his sisters and a favourite amongst them in temperament and appearance. My special boy seemed happy, and healthy until the very end. He acquired a brother, and they fought together. It was a minor injury to his ears, but it was as a result of this that we realized how thirsty he was. The night before he passed away, he gave us grooms and clucks like he hadn't done since his infancy. He licked us so much and we knew something was wrong.
Kenya saw a vet but they didn't know what was wrong. He became slugglish, lethargic, and flopped over. We were in the care of amazing vets trying everything from vitamin B, oxygen, antibiotic shots, drops, and countless other remedies. Nothing could save him. He died after we gave him his last ear kisses, something he loved, and would always make him cluck endlessly.
He will be sorely missed. He was the perfect rabbit in every sense. We called him our little puppy dog. He was an innocent, precious lifeform that died far too soon at the tender age of 1 1/2 years of age.
You were not deserving Kenny-wabbit. And I will do everything I can to ensure something like this never transpires again. And know that everytime I say goodnight to the others, give them treats, do another youtube film, that I will be thinking of you, and wondering what you'd be doing if you were here. We love you so much sweet boy, Kenny no balls. *Hugs* & ear pets, and kisses forever.

Sometimes due to veterinarian bills or financial hardship, pet owners suffering from pet loss are unable or unwilling to pay for pet memorials.
It is very difficult for us at Immortal Pets to delete memorials especially one such as this. We try to sponsor some of them temporarily while funds allow until the pet owner is able to contribute to the pet memorial or in some cases kind hearted pet owners make donations to help us keep pet memorials online.
We would also like to use this space to encourage pet lovers to continue to support your local ASPCA. By reading these pet memorials you will find a great many of these wonderful animals were adopted from the ASPCA or other shelters. Please help us continue to support the animal shelters.
