It is with such sadness that I let you know that LittlePuffyTail’s beautiful Sterling has passed away. This was sudden and is a terrible shock. This loveable, big white bun is well-loved here at BB and he will be greatly missed. ![]()
Binky Free, Sterling! Please visit your human Mama in a dream and let her feel you once again.
LPT, Im just wishing you were not facing this.
Any bunny is so lucky to be brought home and be cherished by you and the family. He so quickly intergrated into your family and brought much happiness. He knew he was with a true bunny lover.
Such sad news
I’m so sorry you are dealing with this LPT. May he binky over rainbow bridge with all the other bridge bunnies. I hope we can still honour him for the start of each new month (“white rabbit”) xxx
Oh LPT I’m so devastated for you.
I’m so sorry to hear this, he was such a beautiful rabbit with a gorgeous personality (almost as big as his trademark ears)
(((Binky free sterling)))
So sad to read this. Binky Free, Sterling xxx
I’m so sorry to hear this. Binky free, Sterling.
This is so saddening. My thoughts and best wishes are with you LBJ.

I’m so terrbly sorry to hear this. I hope he is in a bunny paradise, munching on all the carrots he could ever eat! We’ll always honor the memory of this stunning, handsome bunny. (((Binky Free Sterling)))
I’m so sorry LPT! Sterling will be missed by us all. ((((((Binky free Sterling)))))
Oh no!
LPT I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ll miss reading about his antics…
Binky free sweet Sterling!
I’m so sorry <3
Binky free Sterling
Sterling was a very special bun here on BB. He was loved by so many. My heart is broken for you LPT. I’m so very sorry for your loss. ![]()
It’s so incredibly sad, LPT. He was like a fairytale bunny, so beautiful. I remember when you first introduced him to us, we all instantly fell in love with him. How could we not? He was something quite out of the ordinary.
Thanks everyone. I still can’t believe he is gone. My heart was sort of trying to prepare for Bindi passing, but this was so unexpected and quick. He was perfectly fine the night before. A huge hole in my heart. There will never be another bunny like him. He was one-of-a-kind for sure.
LPT, my deepest condolences
. You and Sterling were some of the first members I “met” when I first joined BB. It is a shock and true loss to the community that he is gone.
Binky free Sterling
I’m so sorry LTP
so sudden… please be strong <3 we're with you all the way
LPT, I am so sorry to hear this shocking news. He was such a handsome, noble rabbit. Our hearts are all broken for your loss. You are a true bunny champion and any rabbit in your care is loved beyond words. Binky free, sweet Sterling. You will me dearly missed.
I can’t imagine the shock that you are going through. What an unexpected tragedy. I am so, so sorry
(((((((Sterling))))))))
Maybe on the 1st March, instead of honouring all of our white rabbits, we can dedicate it to Sterling? Just an idea ![]()
That’s a beautiful idea!
Oh LPT how did I miss this ??!! Just seeing the thread title made my heart fall through the floor. I am so very, very sorry.
Poor you and poor Evi too. And I bet Kyle is looking for his “big” brother….. oh how sad.
((Binky Free sweet Sterling – he with the ears so gorgeous and big, surely all-time champions of BB !!))
((Hugs))
Thanks so much for all the kind words, guys. I like that idea, Sarah.
It’s a week today. Hard to believe. The pain is not getting any easier.
I’ve loved and lost many animals but I’m taking this one really hard. Bindi is doing okay. I was worried he would be upset with Sterling gone. They were not bonded but still enjoyed each others’ company. The day after Sterling died, Bindi seemed to be looking for him by his pen. I’ve left Sterling’s pen up for Bindi, since he’s blind and he knows the outline of all the rooms. I thought it might confuse him if I took it down. But I might get my husband to take it down this weekend. Hard to see an empty pen. I keep expecting him to run out of his house asking for a treat.
I had my baby cremated which always do. A way to sort of keep them here with me. I’m looking at different options for a custom urn.
Oh noooooooo, I couldn’t believe the title
I am so sorry LPT, I don’t even know what to say
So many hugs to you and Bindi

Very emotional mail day yesterday. I got a sympathy card from my vet with his pawprint and a lock of fur. As well as this beautiful statue which I’m going to use as an urn which was sent to me by an FB friend who also recently lost a beloved bun.

That is so beautiful LPT! I’m teary eyed from here… *Big hug* It’ll make a wonderful monument to Sterling!
It’s perfect. <3
I missed this too somehow.
Sorry about Sterling. That is indeed sooo tragic. I knew little Bindi was having issues, but Sterling…just speechless.
Hugs to you.
Binky free {{{Sterling}}}
P.S. Thanks for being such a major part of this forum LPT. You’ve helped and continue to help so many people.
Those really are beautiful memorials to honor dear Sterling.
Sterling was a beautiful bunny. I am so sorry. I hope the gifts and bunny statue bring you a little comfort.
Xx
Thanks, guys.
I miss him a lot. I can’t look at pictures of him right now. It’s too hard. He was a very special guy.
Oh no, from myself and Olly we are very sorry for your loss.
RIP sterling.

I know that feeling… I wanted to make a photo book of Bunston after he passed, but it took me close to two years to finally be able to do it.

I’m terribly sorry that I haven’t replied to this thread until now. To hear of Sterling’s passing was a real shock, such a lively, vibrant bun and just like that, he’s gone.
I always enjoyed seeing pictures of him and hearing about his antics.
The statue/urn is beautiful and the lock of fur is such a lovely keepsake.
I’m so sorry. Binky free Sterling.
Ricky put his ashes in the Urn last night and cut 3 hearts out of his cardboard hidey box that we all kissed and put in the urn as well.
An FB friend just put out a children’s book called “Bunnies A-Z” and she put a few pics of Sterling in it. It was released a few days after his passing so that’s pretty sad. But I will order it as a nice memory when I feel ready.
That sounds like a very loving way to honor sweet Sterling. What a beautiful tribute. With grief comes healing, something that cannot be rushed, so take all the time you need. I hope your friend’s book will become a lifelong keepsake – it looks like a wonderful resource. We’re all here for you. <3.
LPT, I’m so sorry.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw the thread. I loved looking his pictures, he was such a beautiful and sweet bun. Lots of hugs to you. The statue is beautiful!
Binky free, Sterling.
Thank you, Hazel.

I am truly heartbroken for you. I am so so so sorry. <3 He was loved so much and will be missed. <3 <3
