We lost our adopted Sister-bunny almost 2 weeks ago. She wuz, best Mom knows, somewhere between 9 an' 10 -- not bad fer a bunny who wuz left ad da shelter an' later got uterine cancer!

Sister started life as "Mister" -- her elderly mom never knew "he" wuz a "she."  Sister's mommy was, as unnderstand it, an elderly lady who loved her bunny but really had no idea how to properly care fer her.  Affer 6 years wid her mommy, Sister lost her home cuz her mom hadta go into some kind of eldercare situation.  And, no surprise: No one in da family would take Grandma's fat, poopy-bottom bunny, so she got dumped at da shelter.

Sister almos' died -- from grief, shock, change uv diet.  She lived cuz uv smart, caring, observant volunteers --- and a great vet.  Fer 5 weeks, Sister boarded at da vet cuz no one had room to foster her.  Finally, one uv  Mom an' Dad's foster buns found a ride to Arizona an' Sister got sprung to come live wid us!

Sister wuz SUCH a cool rabbit -- independent, self-possessed.  Not one bit 'fraid uv all our brother an' sister dogs and cats.  She loved our Dad!  One night, Dad didn't notice her quick enuf when she wanted ta sit in his lap.  Roxy, da Golden Retriever, wuz layin' between Sister an' Dad so Sister just put her front paws on Roxy's shoulder an' leeeeeeeeeeaned over her to get Dad's attention! (Roxy wuz shocked an' just sat still, waitin' fer someone to rescue her fwum da rabbit!!!)

Jus' over 2 years ago, when Sister finally got skinny enuf to be spayed safely, da vet found dat she had uterine cancer.  Still, she lived -- another 2 1/2 years.  She wuz nothing if not resilient.

Oddly, no one ever wanted to fight wid her.  She jus' didn't provoke dat kinda reaction.  She wuz part of Mom's "herd" fer a short time, but wuz happiest as half of a pair wid her furiend Harvey.  When she died in Dad's arms, he made sure to let Harvey spend time wid her so he could say goodbye.

Sister's buried in Mom's "bunny garden" wid other 7 buns -- some owned, some fostered and some just befriended.  Harvey an' us buns an' Mom an' Dad all miss her.
