Bunny Jean Cook—A Tribute

In happier times MizzBassie, me, BJC, Pandafur, Javathecat
This morning I lost a wonderful furrend—as did all of you—when Bunny Jean Cook went over the Rainbow Bridge. I feel a bit guilty now that my words of condolence to her Mom, Vicki Cook, all concerned DJing. Bunny Jean was so much more than an outstanding DJ. She was smart; her outfits always turned heads at pawpawties because she looked so darn good. More than any of that, we should remember her for the caring rabbit she was and all the good she did. She always alerted us by way of her blog or a tweet when some animal was being abused or when we could do something to stop animal cruelty or make some anipal's life better. Through her Mom's words, she was a  tireless fundraiser, who we all loved. When your life has touched so many people, you know it was a meaningful life and surely not in vain. So I decided to honor Chocolate Chip, aka BJC, through song. It's not the best rhyming song but it's the thought that counts.  Sung to the tune of Joe Hill, may I present Bunny Jean.

I dreamed I saw Bunny Jean tonight
Alive as you or me
Says I, "But Bunny, you went over the Bridge,"
"I never died," says she.
"I never died," says she.

Hopping there as big as life
And smiling with her eyes
Says BJC, "I'm always here
When Twitter anipals want to organize,
To help anipals organize."

"BJ ain't dead, she says to me,
"BJ ain't never died.
When shelter pets need a forever home
Bunny Jean is at their side,
Bunny Jean is at their side."

For raising money for homeless hares
For blogs that make us aware
And standing near her is her loving Mom
Vicki and Bunny truly care
 Vicki and Bunny are always there 

From San Diego to Pittsburgh, PA,
In kill shelters and puppy mills—
Where animals don't have a voice
It's there you'll find Bunny Jean.
It's there you'll find Bunny Jean.

I dreamed I saw BJ Cook tonight,
Alive as you or me
Says I, "But Bunny, you went over the Bridge,"
"I never died," says she.
"I never died," says she.

  1. Such a wonderful tribute to Bunny Jean. I was very sad when I saw that news this morning. My Dad and Flat Brian had dinner with Mom Vicki last year at Bark World and we know how very much Bunny Jean was loved. Bunny Jean will truly live in our hearts forever.
