You know how much I love a good obituary. Tonight we are here to remember the short life of Aliishyahh Cinderella -- bunny of Katie and Sam. All interesting obits have a little back story so I have taken the liberty of including exerts from Katie's blog.===============================
December 15, 2008 Look what Sam brought me! We named her Aliishyahh Cinderella. Sam had a dream that we had a baby girl and I wanted to name her Alicia. So in naming the rabbit, it was only appropriate. Only, I opted for the Utah spelling.
Cinderella is her second name because her favorite spot so far is by our wood stove. We're in the process of building her out-door home, but for now she likes hanging out by the fire.
===============================
To which our ever responsibly thinking friend Carolyn commented ...
I asked a few of my friends who live in the Logan area if anyone wanted a fuzzy bunny. Finally, just a few days before Katie and Sam left for their world travels, my friend, Emily, said she thought the bunny would be a great addition to her family. Immediately, I called Katie to tell her the good news -- but I was too late. Sam had just taken her out to the woods behind their house and set her "free". This was on December 27th ... in Logan ... in a blizzard!!
Last week, Katie sent me this note from Peru:
Guess who Sam's mom found frozen to death in our front yard a couple weeks ago. I know! (SOB!) it was Cinderella Alyshaaah. So, since they deemed the ground too frozen to dig a grave and figured we wouldn't want them to just toss her somewhere (like a garbage can, or even a forested canyon...which is totally what I would have wanted them to do) they wrapped her in a garbage bag and stuck her on top of the buffalo in the case freezer. So I guess we have 60 lbs of Buffalo and 2 lbs of Bunny Wabbit waiting for us at home.
Anyone hungry for a little Hassenpfeffer?
um...where is Aliishyahh Cinderella going to go when you start your around the world travels?....you're not going to eat her and tan her hide are you ---not after you've named her....I don't think you want to get her through customs in all of the places you are going! :-)
