Sic Transit Gloria Bunny - Cinnamon, of Disapproving Rabbits

"Cinnamon"
Disapproving Rabbits (June 13, 2011)

"Hello all.

"It is with deep sadness that Sharon and I tell you that Cinnamon has passed away. She had a wonderful life of some 13 years.

"As you can imagine, this is an emotional time for us. We're going to take a break from the website for a week...."

Disapproving Rabbits is back now - with "All disapproval, all the time." Today's post reads: "You're home? But... Dead Man's Curve! The brake line!" ("Cadbury,"Scott & Joanna, via Disapproving Rabbits (June 22, 2011))

Cinnamon's still with the blog, in a way: the posts are still "Disapproved of by Cinnamon."

The Lemming will let some of the 378 comments on Disapproving Rabbits' June 13, 2011, post speak for the Lemming:

"My sympathies on your loss. Thank you for sharing Cinnamon with us -- she was the best disapprover there was."

"Oh no :(
"we're so sorry to hear this....but wow, 13 years! She had a bunderfully long life and was so very loved by you and by all of us...bunny prayers to you and your family!"

"I'm sorry for your loss. Over the years that you have this blog, I've enjoyed seeing Cinnamon do her thing.

"I hope this won't mean the end of Disapproving Rabbits because I love this blog."
(Tilia)

  1. 13 years is a long time for a rabbit. The impression I have is that 10 years is usually the maximum for them as pets.

    They're with us for far too short a time.

  2. Brigid,

    Indeed.

    A quick look online netted http://www.hrss.net/aar/care/care_lifespan.html (House Rabbit Society Singapore) and http://www.rabbit.org/care/facts.html (House Rabbit Society) - and http://petlvr.com/blog/2007/08/30/life-expectancy-and-other-interesting-rabbit-facts/ (blog post on PetLvr.com) - which give ranges that center of about 10 years.

    Cinnamon was an ancient rabbit - and apparently disapproving to the end.
