IN MEMORY OF~JOE-KERR'S PRINCESS~ ON MONDAY 2/11/2008 JOE-KERR'S PRINCESS PASSED AWAY PEACEFULLY OVERNIGHT IN HER SLEEP. SHE WAS MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER RABBIT TO US, BACK IN 2001 SHE WAS THE FIRST DOE WE PURCHASED AS A "PET" THAT LED TO THE RABBITRY WE HAVE NOW. SHE HAD MANY SUCCESSFUL LITTERS WITH SWEET TEMPERED BABIES. THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS SHE HAD BEEN RETIRED FROM BREEDING AND SERVED AS OUR PET MASCOT. SHE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE FED FIRST AND SAT AND WATCHED WITH HER CAGE DOOR OPEN AS I FED THE OTHER RABBITS. SHE WOULD RATTLE HER CAGE DOOR AND THROW HER TOY BELL AROUND UNTIL SHE GOT HER MORNING CARROT TREAT. SHE ENJOYED THEM SO MUCH HER WHITE DEWLAP WAS STAINED ORANGE FROM THEM. SHE LOOKED FORWARD TO HER CHEEKS AND EARS BEING RUBBED, ALMOST LIKE A DOG WOULD; SHE HAS MANY GRAND CHILDREN, BUT NONE OF THEM WILL EVER TAKE HER PLACE IN OUR HEARTS.
WE WILL MISS YOU, PRINCESS ~ REST IN PEACE~ |
