Our bunny rabbit Smokie, hopped off this mortal coil this morning at the age of 10 yrs.

Good afternoon folks. Unseasonably warm today. A high in the mid 40'F expected later this afternoon. A chilly 23'F start had me in a wool jacket and hat. Gannon Wanderer (charcoal with frayed ribbon treatment) was my morning head gear.

Best, Eric -
Great looking Gannon Eric. And that is a sporty red cap as well.

I would imagine that her last few years were her best, not only since she had them when so few of her bretheren ever do, but also because there must be great comfort in outliving your tender and tasty years.
Sorry Fruno, for the loss of your longtime pet. Forgive me for injecting a bit of humor in an otherwise sad situation.

Stupendous Homburg Blue! What does the liner look like? What clues did you have to date it to the 1950s! Covet and envy.

Thanks! I'm at the office so I can't snap a photo of the interior =(

And actually, my guess on the date is based almost entirely on comparisons of the interior to the examples on @mayserwegener 's website. If you're interested in the hat, drop me a line -- it's a bit tight on me (7 1/8 ~22.5") and I don't wear it very often =)

Thanks for the condolences, all. Humor is never inappropriate, Jack. Not in my world. It was fun having an unusual pet for so long, but at least I got to experience it.

My wife is having her cremated, destined to take her place among our other dogs and cats on the Memorial Mantle. She wasn't receptive to the idea of putting her in one of those little hat gift boxes, though. [emoji4]

Hey all!
Even though I never met the bunny, I am still saddened by Smokie's passing. In her honor I'm going rabbit-free today with this straw. Besides, it's a great excuse to wear the Gitmoe again.

Beavers will not enjoy the same protection if today's nice weather doesn't hold.
Have a great day!

Love the Gitmoe, moe! Ever try to brush stray bunny fur off your fur felt hat? It can be quite the challenge!

Just so y'all know... rabbits will eat Panama straw hats! Our friends have a rabbit, and after our first trip together to Ecuador I brought him back a Cuenca weave straw hat to wear at his wedding. Well, sometime later he left the hat out and came home from work to find his hat more than half way eaten up.
