Farewell Greyjoy.

Greyjoy, beloved big guy of the #LateBloomerClub slipped away earlier today surrounded by his bunny friends and Marcy. He had been in poor health and seemed to know it was time — and at 12+ years old was extremely senior for his French Lop breed.

Greyjoy arrived at SaveABunny in mid-2019 as a medical rescue, already an older guy who had had a very rough life, severely underweight with teeth so overgrown he couldn't eat and thickly scarred and torn ears. The tattoo in his ear indicated he was likely a breeder rabbit and not treated kindly as he was sad and defeated, cringing at human touch. Soon after he arrived he had surgery to have several teeth removed and ear surgery (the first of many) to try to address continual ear infections. Through his many health issues, Greyjoy revealed himself to be a patient and very kindly soul.

Greyjoy was a bunny who lived many lives. First as a breeder rabbit. Second, after he healed, he became the SaveABunny Ambassador representing all of bunnykind at events to teach people the joys of house rabbits. After a while Greyjoy retired in favor of domestic bliss with a bunny wife, the beautiful blonde bombshell Showgirl, who wanted him all to herself. After she passed away in 2021, Greyjoy joined the Late Bloomer Club as chief snuggle officer. That's a lot of living.

Greyjoy's love language was squashing. He'd completely relax on top of whatever bunny was around squashing them flat, enveloping them under his big squishy warmth with only their noses poking out from beneath his tummy. He didn't seem to realize he was 2-3 times bigger than everyone else but no one seemed to mind. And his giant flemmie ear was popular as an ear blanket, with LBC members tucking themselves under for a good long nap. Greyjoy exuded kindly (and a bit clueless) big grandpa energy.

Greyjoy lived with the Late Bloomer Club for over 5 years, far longer than anyone dreamed possible given his sad beginning and lifelong health problems. In the end Greyjoy sought quiet contentment and the companionship of his bunny group and that's exactly what he got. He will be sorely missed by his many bunny and humans friends. … See MoreSee Less

Binky across that 🌈 bridge big guy 🤗

Greyjoy was such a special guy. He looked SO much like our boy Marbles (was Paris) adopted from SAB in 2020. I loved seeing Greyjoy get to have a wonderful life squishing and enjoying the other LBC buns. Greyjoy will be missed. I’m so thankful SAB and Marci have been there for him and SO many buns.

RIP Greyjoy, say hello to Ting for us
