RIP a most beloved pet and I am in the paper again (still good news) post 150!

Well this is post 150! a big landmark but perhaps its not what I hoped I'd be posting.

Well this post is going to be a sad one I am afraid. our most beloved pet Rabbit simply named Bun Bun has passed away. 8 years old she was the first pet we got when we came to New Zealand and therefore has a special place in our family. its sad when a pet passes away and it is hard to make that choice to put them down, but it was the best thing for her. she had been limping badly and there was a nasty lump under her chin although female rabbits do occasionally have a large lump under their chin Bun Bun already had one and this lump signalled something more serious. therefore the decision was made with much sadness to put her to sleep so she would not suffer living on in a deteriorating state.

how she was, this taken shortly before My trip to Argentina... early days in my blogging history

 So after school today it was my job to dig the grave for her. we placed her in her little box into the ground and said out good byes. I took a photo, a final picture before the earth covered her up. here is her little box. sweet I think, simple also but it doesn't have to be complex. Bun Bun herself was not a complicated character. she had her moments when she was young several escape attempts, confusing the cats when she decided to go up to them instead of them chasing her, when she was older she looked after the guinea pigs (which went to a friends house as my mum was allergic to them) treating them as her own children. and in her old age she was allowed to wander out and about as there was no need to worry about her doing a runner any more.

goodbye Bun Bun

well there we are. not much really to say but goodbye... but as usual life must go on and happiness must be found....

and once more I am in the papers!

... so now I shall tell a nice story to lighten the mood. This is one of success against adversity and a bunch of simple college kids showing themselves better than some intelligent egg heads from private schools!!!

First order of business! We're year 13 students and I am mentioned by my middle name. apart from that points for who ever guesses who I am ;-) Also yes the college carriers expo is about our school... that's already happened as you can see, the NZ defence force turned up late! and one of our guys almost got run over while trying to organise parking, some people seem not to care what they are being asked to do.

school ball this weekend also big occasion perhaps pics to be seen on the schools website after the event... not sure.

Anyway have a good day/night if your down here in NZ try to keep warm (I still have to walk the dog and there's hail showers, it's freezing and its pretty dark out there. oh well better wrap up as much as I can then... oh was that thunder hmm maybe not!
