For our beloved brother/boyfriend. We miss you so much!

Dear Kenya, we love you & miss you dearly. We're taking the best care of Tacey & Nixie, and little Monk, in hopes to avoid a tragedy like yours in the future. You were everything we'd ever wanted in a bunny rabbit. Our little Lop grey puppy dog! You had a joi de vive that was enviable and uplifting. Thank you for being you, and allowing us to enjoy you as long as we did.

All our love for always,
Mommy & Daddy,
(who could never have left you behind at the pet store. You just had to come home with us. )

Kenya will be dearly missed by many of us on bunnyowners LJ. He had been such a great boy, being so candid on videos and pictures. It's difficult to know that he is not able to be with him favorite mum and dad but I am sure he had crossed the rainbow bridge to be with my baby boy MoMo as well as other dearly missed bunbuns.

Shaylen, be strong for yourself, Tacey, Nixie, and Monk. Take lots of care.

I had a rabbit when I was younger too. She was an adorable little creature and so so soft. She passed away after about 10 years of love. I miss her to this very day, about two years after the fact. I'm so sorry that you lost your Kenya so soon. He was a very cute little guy. I offer you my condolences for your loss.

RIP Kenya; perhaps you're with my baby girl, Cotton.

Hi: I came across your glowing description of this incredible rabbit named Kenya! I'm simply a visitor from the web whom you will never meet during your natural lifetime, but someon who cares!

My first rabbit (when I was around 4 years old) was a house bunny. He was raised and trained as a cat would be, and got along well with our cats - holding his own when necessary. He was litter trained, and did not require a cage after the first few weeks. He was a bit aloof, but he was great fun and enjoyed a game of hide and seek.

In time, when we were brave enough to buy a farm, along with other animals, we raised several thousand rabbits over a periond of years, and quite accidentally became the 2nd largest breeder around. We provided countless friendly furry family members to folks in our area - many as bunnies. We never dealt with pet stores: always placing them ourselves.

Some of our best rabbits were continual show winners at the local fairs, but though we loved many of those we kept as breeding stock, we've never experienced the kind of quality friend you describe so well here! Kenya is indeed a special rabbit, and proof that the Lord shows us kindness in many unexpected ways.

The only comparison to Kenya that I've had in my life is a baby girl hedgehog whom we named "Erin" - after her latin species: Erinaceus Europaeus. It became rapidly apparent to us that she had been taken away from her mother too early. We nursed her every 2 or 3 hours, and she seemed to enjoy our company.

Hedgehogs have a reputation as being spiky, anti-social curmudgeons, but once, during her last week with us, I was washing the dishes at the sink while she was puttering around on the other side of the kitchen doing her "hedgehog thing". Erin (still quite a fledgling) decided to undertake the long trek across the linoleum on her tiny little legs and climb up on my feet where she curled up and immediately fell asleep. I began to cry both with joy and amazement at this tiny declaration of trust and affection towards me, a quirky man of forty something!

We took Erin back to the pet store when she began to "fail to thrive", as they say in the medical profession, to try to discover what was wrong. We were informed that we were doing everything correctly. Sadly, even with the assistance of a vet, they could do nothing for her. I still cry when I think of the month she was with us, and my wife and son miss her sorely as well.

I did not write this to make anyone else cry, but to let you know that many whom you do not know also share in your grief and joy, and this is my way of reaching out to you. May God continue to bless you with new creatures to enjoy. I think Erin would have liked Kenya immensely!

Much love from Michael
