Farewell
Admired Miranda!
Indeed the top of admiration! worth
What's dearest to the world!*
The world will little note nor long remember Miranda, but she was the best pet I've ever had. For 10 years Sarah and I were fortunate to share our lives with the most gentle, beautiful, sensitive, loving, loyal animal imaginable. She was taken from us far too soon, a victim of kidney failure, on Monday, July 25.
If not overwhelmed by grief, I am at least very, very sad. And right now I wouldn't want it any other way. Tears are all I have left to give Miranda, and I'm going to make sure she gets plenty of them.
But you, O you,
So perfect and so peerless, are created
Of every creature's best!*
*The Tempest, III.i.

Martin, I am very sorry for your loss. We lost three pets in the space of six months a couple of years ago, two to cancer (cats) and one to old age (an 11-year-old dwarf bunny, the oldest our vet had ever seen!) I'm STILL recovering from that period. I'm sure you gave Miranda a happy life and a comfortable home. You folks are just too kind to accept anything less.
