Murray - The Boy

Return to Rainbow Bridge

This page is dedicated to the memory of Murray, our first French Lop.

13-2-1999 - 5-9-2003

Little did we know what an effect Murray would have upon our lives when we brought him home...

  Murray was bred by Jean and Brian Lynch and sold to us when he was around 3 months old.  We immediately fell in love with him and his breed. The gentleness and amazing personality of this rabbit lit up and transformed our lives.  He became a French Lop Champion at shows and went on for a while to become our Stud Buck.

In later life, dental problems occurred and it was this that eventually became a contributing factor that caused his death.

Losing Murray left us heartbroken.  Murray was much admired by many visitors but ultimately was a friend to whom we owe so much, and life is no longer the same without him.

The Dance

Dave Koz

 

Looking back on the memory of

The Dance we shared ‘neath the stars above

For a moment all the world was right

How could I have known that you’d ever say goodbye

 

And now I’m glad I didn’t know

The way it all would end

The way it all would go

Our lives are better left to chance

I could have missed the pain

But I’d have had to miss the dance

The Dance

The Dance

I would have missed the Dance

 

Holding you I held everything

For a moment wasn’t I a king

But if I’d only known how the king would fall

Hey who’s to say you know I might have chanced it all

 

And now I’m glad I didn’t know

The way it all would end

The way it all would go

Our lives are better left to chance

I could have missed the pain

But I’d have had to miss the Dance

The Dance

The Dance

I would have missed the Dance
