Goodbye Oolong!

Not certain whether many of you had been following the habits of a peculiar japanese man with a penchant for keeping a photo-diary of his prodigious little friend, Oolong, the pancake rabbit, but I thought I might pass along a head's up that our little pal Oolong has passed away.

You can find a brief photo-epitaph of Oolong's Last Day on his website here. (Don't forget to read the image tags!)

7 years is a rather long time for a bunny to live. From the dedication that went into chronicling this neat little e-zine of Oolong's Zany Adventures, I think it's safe to say, his owner loved him very much.

RIP little guy.

It was the little bunny-ear grave marker that got me. *snf*

I think I now know a bit more about the Shinto rituals for the demise and burial of a rabbit than perhaps I think I would have liked to...

Still, chin up, 7yrs is a very good innings, and I'm sure I saw a new star shining in the sky last night. Sniff.

That's really sad, you know.

Not sad in the "loser" sense, in case anyone thinks I'm taking the piss. I mean, sad sad.
