The bunneh was murdered by the dog. Murder, not bunnyslaughter, not bunnycide, murder. I have seen the gleam of hunger in the dog's eyes and been trying to keep him in check for so many days now. Unfortunately, we were out yesterday, and I guess, for the dog, it was the perfect moment to strike. He is canine non grata right now. We were all devastated, and I was secretly hoping the bunneh was able to escape and just got lost somewhere in the trees near our home. This morning, I urged TheHusband to look for the body, and sadly, there lies Bunny-Buns, eyes already glazed and the fur wet from the morning dew...just a few steps from our home. Sharkteeth, who's so in love with the bunneh, wanted to look, and although I was hesitant, I let her. I guess, like me, she was also hoping against hope that the bunneh was still alive, and the sight confirmed her worst fears.
I miss her when I go to the refrigerator and no one is racing to the door hoping for a veggie treat. No one is cuddling near my feet when I'm working in the kitchen. No one is chewing Sharkteeth's hair. No one darts out from the darkness when I go out at midnight to pee. Haaaaay, I miss her so much. We buried her in the garden, and Sharkteeth suggested we put a "name" (I guess she means gravestone), and I think it is only fitting we do so.
Goodbye, Temperance.
Oh, I am sorry about the bunny being murdered. I loved it, he was so cuddly cute!

ReplyDeletenaalala ko tuloy yung hamster sa apartment namin nung college; my housemate had this huge rottweiler and we had only one suspicion when the hamster suddenly disappeared.
Sheng, all too sad! Too drama queen-ish, pero we're really grieving for the bunneh. She brought us so much joy in her very short life.
ReplyDeleteZar, yeah, ako man yun, isa lang ang pagbibintangan ko.
I can relate to the grieve. We cried when we lost our Jap spitz two years ago. I think our neighbors feed him MSG. Rest in peace, Bunneh.
ReplyDeleteMSG? That's so mean. Not dog people, I think.
ReplyDeletesad nman... just when im starting to like your cute bunneh. was thinking pa nman of having one someday. tsk tsk, bad dog!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sad! I hope you and Sam are coping well... Sa ikli ng panahon na pinagsahmahan nyo, it was obvious that you loved him (or her). :)
ReplyDeleteWeird-funny thing is, it's TheHusband who still couldn't forgive the murderer dog. Sa lahat kasi ng pets namin, the bunneh was the only one he liked.
