Skedaddle,
I will never forget the day you came fluffing and bouncing into my life. I didn't know it then, but you were going to be my best little buddy. You were my heart and I will forever miss you.
I never knew I could be so bonded to such a small bundle of fluff, but I was. We did everything together.
I loved coming home from work and hearing you skits across the floor as you were in such a hurry to see me.
I will treasure all those snuggles, all those kisses, all those times we hung out.
I miss seeing your little bunny behind twitch when we shared a banana, your absolute favorite food in the world. Miss your bunny scent and your wild hair right behind your ears. Miss that spunky look in your eyes. Even miss those special, misaligned teeth of yours.
You were always getting into some sort of trouble, earning the nickname of "bad dog"— Digging bags (you loved that), hopping onto the couch, getting into the bathroom (where you were not permitted) among some of the things. You absolutely loved digging your food bowl around and dumping all the pellets across the ground. It didn't matter what I did, you always foiled my preventions. Always.
You were always zooming around at high speed, determined to never be left out. You always managed to constantly be underfoot, flopping wherever it pleased you and were always willing to offer a thump when things did not go according to your plan.
You loved to sun bathe and I often found you loafing in a patch of sunlight by the windows.
I still save a bite of banana for you. I still hear you running across the floor. Still see you flash by in the corner of my eye. Still can't believe you aren't here.
You were a fighter to the end, even when cancer tried to win. You wouldn't give up. You held on until I had to let you go.
A piece of my heart left with you and I can't get it back. It hurts to write this, but I still love you so much. I always will.
I love you, Skedaddle. I'm thankful you don't hurt anymore, but I still desperately wish you were still here. I can't wait to see you again and share a banana once more❤️❤️❤️ —your bunny mama
