Rainbow Bridge

​A memorial for all the bunnies we loved and who are no longer with us. For those rabbit owners who are going through a difficult time with the loss of their bunnies, keep in mind the story of the Rainbow Bridge.

According to the story, when a pet dies, it goes to the meadow, having been restored to perfect health and free of any injuries. The pet runs and plays all day with the others, there is always fresh food and water, and the sun is always shining. However, it is said that while the pet is at peace and happy, they miss their owner who had to be left behind on Earth.

When their owner dies, they come across the Rainbow Bridge. It is at that moment that their pet stops what they are doing and sniffs at the air and looks into the distance where they see their beloved owner. Excited, they hop as fast as they can to their owner, all the while doing binkys in joy, while their owner looks on at the pet who was absent on Earth, but never absent in their heart. Then side by side, they cross the Rainbow Bridge together into Heaven, never again to be separated.

Duncan Anthony Potter, III
Duncan Anthony Potter, III (aka "Dunc-a-Doo", "DooDoo", "The Do", "Diggy Duncs") was 5 years old when he passed on April 5th 2017. He was adopted into his loving furever home on July 30th, 2016 from Rescue Rabbits Rock after needing to be surrendered by his previous owner. Duncan instantly became family and warmed the hearts of everyone he got the chance to meet. Duncan brought so much joy and happiness to his family and was the best rabbit anyone could have hoped for. Duncan was incredibly sweet and loved his sisters Chloe, River and Snowy who he bonded with and spent every day/moment with. Duncan lived free, never in a cage and was able to just be a bunny. He spent his days and nights with his sisters, snuggling in a bunny pile, cleaning each other, flopping and of course devouring hay and kale. Duncan had a little cardboard truck that he used to LOVE to chew on, so much that we had to buy out the store as they were marking them down for clearance, never to be sold again. We of course had to make sure Duncan had his favorite chew toy on hand. Needless to say, he was a little spoiled. Not a day goes by that we do not miss his snoring when he would fall asleep, his excitement when you entered his view as he ran to see you, butt bouncing up and down or when just sitting on the couch and he would run over just lay his head on your leg to snuggle looking up as to ask for a nose rub. We couldn't have asked for a better pet, friend, and rabbit than Duncan. He will be greatly and forever missed but never ever forgotten. Duncan, we love you forever and ever and we will see you again one day. On that day we will owe you many upon many nose rubs.

ALFRED
RIP 8/26/2015 He just couldn't recover. His Story: POOR Alfred!!! This guy has had a rough time! Found near Alvin Dr. in Salinas, he somehow survived and is our new bunny. He was recently seen by the Avian vets and all sorts of tests were done. He has some eye & ear issues which he is being treated for after vets cleaned him up. Xrays revealed everything is OK (heart, lungs, abdomen) we just need to resolve his "head" issues. Looking for someone immediately who can care & pamper his medical needs. This is not something I am experienced with & really do not have the time. HELP ???? Call (831)883-1734 asap if you are that special person he needs! (He's on eye drops, pain meds & antibotics)

Hershey
I got Hershey when he was 6 wks old. My Mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer and I knew what a comfort animals can be to sick people. Hershey would just sit in Mom's lap very still and she would stroke him and comment how soft he was. He gave her joy and calmed her too. I have had 3 other buns before Hershey but none like him. He had personality plus!!! Impish, daring, loving, curious, snuggly, attention-lover, etc! I held him each morning while I had coffee and sang to him. We rocked on the outside swing and snuggled. Each evening he'd race around the house and flop over in front of me tired out and I'd stroke his belly. I got bunny kisses each day which I will cherish forever! Hershey was the most loving bunny I've ever had! I miss him sooooooo much!

RORY County lop June 7 2013 RORY is a lucky lop who was found in the Salinas County night drop box on June 7th, 2013. He was covered in fleas, the worst case we've ever seen. A lot of his hair is temporarily missing because of this. He was treated w/Revolution & all fleas are dead & gone. He is was neutered. He is the easiest bunny ever, very clean & mellow. He appears to be 3-5 years old ??? He would love to bond w/a lucky lady bunny. RORY died peacefully & happily due to old age on Feb. 7th 2015. He was at playing in a grassy yard when he fell asleep forever

ABBY, RIP beautiful lady

ABBY, RIP beautiful lady
On Feb. 6th 2015 we had to rush ABBY to Avian where it was decided best to euthanize her due to major infection by her eye and Encephalitozoon cuniculi, had to let her go over the rainbow bridge. Abbey was going to be put down if a rescue did not step up and take her because of biting issues mainly. She came to us from sac. SPCA & said she had been treated for an eye infection but it was all cleared up. She never was adopted but was loved & lived happily at Kim's house from June 2014-Feb. 2015.

She touched so many lives... <3

Tulip
4/21/2014: Tulip was such a brave, strong girl and survived abdominal surgery to remove an obstruction despite the odds. She was doing well--almost two weeks out from the surgery--when she developed breathing issues. I rushed her to the emergency vet, but unfortunately my brave, beautiful, spunky fireball of a bunny-girl died shortly thereafter. It appears that her intestine was healing wonderfully, but the stress of the original illness activated a latent bacterial infection within her tiny little body, and her heart just couldn't take it anymore. Binky free, Sweet love, and snuggle with your Gryphon once again at the Bridge. I will love you forever, my fiesty one...forever.

Boogie
May 21st, 2013: I was SUCH a foster failure, and "Boogied" my way into Momma and Daddy's hearts. Unfortunately, the brightest stars often burn the fastest, and from a little bit of sneezing on Sunday night to potential e-cunniculi diagnosis, to going into shock when my little body couldn't take any more...I was here and then I was gone. Momma's heart is broken, but she knows that she did everything she could for me...and my last few hours were full of love and special songs with my name in them, and her telling me that she didn't want me to go, but that if I needed to, it was okay...and so I went, and away I took a Boogie-sized piece of her heart.

SUPER SAD day for foster mom Eileen Long, who sent her sweetheart YANG over the Rainbow Bridge today. He was a special, gentle people loving bunny who lived a wonderful last few months in our rescue program. Thank you Eileen for loving him so dearly. RIP dear YANG

The Sweetest Bunny

Captain Jack
Captain Jack was the sweetest bunny and I was truly blessed to have him. I only had him 2.5 years but in that short time he gave me so much love. He captured my heart immediately with his sweet personality, he loved to be held and would fall asleep in my arms. He melted my heart every time he gave me bunny kisses. He found the love of his life in a strong willed but loving bunny named Giselle. They were happy together, sometimes fighting and chasing each other around but they always ended up in the corner snuggled up together giving each other kisses. When Captain Jack was ill with GI issues, I tried everything to help him and was thankful to all who donated and to Dr.Thomas for trying so hard to save him. I was heartbroken when he crossed the rainbow bridge in Nov 2012. I am grateful for every moment I had with him & will never forget how special that little bunny made me feel. He was a one in a million bunny and he will forever be in my heart. This photo is my absolute favorite picture. He truly was the best present ever.

The King was found as a stray and taken to the city shelter where Rescue Rabbits Rock scooped this large lug up. He was quickly adopted and loved until he passed over the Rainbow Bridge.

We never know their stories, all we can do is love them. Waldo stole our hearts and was gone too quickly. He was a wonderful boy that is telling his tales over the bridge!
