Dear Charky,
Wherever you are, I hope you can hear me. I miss you. I miss you more than words can say. I miss you in the mornings, waiting on the chair for us to wake up to bring you treats. I miss your hopping, leaning slightly to the left as you galloped down the hallway, your furry padded "feets" sounding like a heard of elephants. I miss you coming running for pets and the licks of your sweet sandpaper tongue on my arm afterwards, thanking me. You were so giving, so loving, Charky. Ashy would beat you up and you would go and lick him. I miss seeing the two of you together inside the litterbox or always laying next to each other. I miss seeing you and Ash fighting for the same piece of cilantro or parsley or hay, even though there was plenty more in front of you.
You made me smile everyday with your antics. I miss your mischievousness. I miss watching you out-smarting the SO, peeing on him when he tried to chase you, or leaving him stranded outside in the cold looking for you while you quietly sneaked inside. I miss you looking for trouble all the time and always finding things to do to catch our attention. I miss you getting behind the curtains. I miss you hopping away, shaking your ears from side-to-side, making fun of us, when we caught you doing something forbidden. You were such a *rascal*! I miss the special sound you made when chewing hay. I miss you getting entangled in my feet when you ambushed me for treats or your black-tipped nose up high in the air looking for treats when I sat down to eat.
You were a Jr. Tough Bun to many bunnies (and people) but you were also the sweetest bun I ever met and I miss you. I miss your beautiful sweet brown eyes and your thick "eyebrushes", your long wiggling whiskers that vibrated when I pet you. I miss stroking your black-tipped ears and snuggling with you, kissing your black-button nose. I miss burying my face into your thick soft fur which always smelled like rainwater. I miss seeing your big black tail up high in the air when you hopped away, like a deer jumping over a log. I miss watching you cleaning yourself, showing off your plush light grey belly, looking like a beaver. I miss calling "Chaaaarky, the door is ooopen" and you coming running down the hallway to go out and play on the deck. I miss your binkies and your happiness. You filled this house with sunshine everyday and I miss you. I miss my "Regal Chark", plopped down in sphinx position in the middle of the room. I miss looking out the window and seeing you laying on the lounge chair all stretched out, bathing under the moonlight. I miss you pooping and binkying in the sand box or chewing cardboard tunnels or your favorite hay boxes or the SO's pajamas.
I hope you know we love you so much and we did everything we could to keep you here with us a bit longer and I am soooo sorry we couldn't. We will take care of your brother Ashy, who seems lost without you. I hope we will all be together as a family again one day.
I am hurting with a deep stabbing pain that I have never felt before in my life, but I would not trade any of my pain if it meant not knowing you.
My little abandoned dumpster bunny, you changed my life forever.
I MISS you, my sweet Chark.
Love,
Mommy.
