Ecclesiastes 3:1-8:

"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven;

A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace."

Nearly every day when I read the mail from bunny mailing lists,
someone has lost their beloved furbaby.
As I read their letters, I weep for them and wish
I could help them. This page is dedicated to
one and all who lovingly belong
to a beloved pet and have
(or someday will have)
a precious baby at the Rainbow Bridge.
May God Bless you all and give you peace.

"Fly, fly little wing Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again
Fly, fly precious one Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this . . .
Crossover to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this memory bittersweet Until we meet
Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget..."

Hello, Sweethearts!

"oh very young -" by cat stevens
"Oh very young what will you leave us this time
Your only dancing on this earth for a short while
And though your dreams may toss and turn you now
They will vanish away like your dad's best jeans
Denim blue faded up to the sky
And though you want them to last forever
You know they never will
And the patches makes the goodbye harder still
Oh very young what will you leave us this time
There'll never be a better chance to change your mind
And if you want this world to see a better day
Will you carry the word of love with you
Will you ride the great white bird into heaven
And though you want to last forever
You know you never will
And the goodbye makes the journey harder still"

"........One chilly morning in March, I cannot tell you exactly how many springs later,
Hazel was dozing and waking in his burrow. He had spent a good
deal of time there lately, for he felt the cold and could not seem to smell or run so
well as in days gone by. He had been dreaming in a confused way-something about
rain and elder bloom - when he woke to realize that there was a rabbit lying
quietly beside him - no doubt some young buck who had come to ask his advice. The
sentry in the run outside should not really have let him in without asking first.
Never mind, thought Hazel. He raised his head and said, "Do you want to talk to me?"

"Yes, that's what I've come for", replied the other. "You know me, don't you?".
"Yes, of course," said Hazel, hoping he would be able to remember his name
in a moment. Then he saw that in the darkness of the burrow the stranger's ears
were shining with a faint silver light.
"Yes, my lord," he said. "Yes, I know you".

"You've been feeling tired," said the stranger, "but I can do something about that.
I've come to ask whether you'd care to join my Owsla. We shall be glad to have
you and you'll enjoy it. If you're ready, we might go along now".

They went out past the young sentry, who paid the visitor no attention. The sun
was shining and in spite of the cold there were a few bucks and does at silflay,
keeping out of the wind as they nibbled the shoots of spring grass. It seemed
to Hazel that he would not be needing his body any more, so he left it lying on
the edge of the ditch, but stopped for a moment to watch his rabbits and to try
to get used to the extraordinary feeling that strength and speed were flowing
inexhaustibly out of him into their sleek young bodies and healthy senses.

"You needn't worry about them," said his companion. "They'll be all right-and
thousands like them. If you'll come along, I'll show you what I mean."

He reached the top of the bank in a single, powerful leap. Hazel followed; and
together they slipped away, running easily down through the wood, where the
first primroses were beginning to bloom. " ------- Watership Down

Everyday I go hug my bunnies and thank God
they are mine and healthy!
We lost our very first bunny, Bambi, to gut stasis.
The grief that followed for both me and my hubby, Dave,
resulted in the start of our mini-rescue efforts
of many bunnies over the years.
What Satan had intended for harm, Almighty God turned to good!
All glory to God! Thanks to everybun who is able to share their love
with us on the mailing lists, on the Internet pages, and via emails!
