[Oolong](http://sokaisha.hp.infoseek.co.jp/020905/maneki.jpg), known to most as the ‘pancake bunny’ has passed away. He was a sweet little bunny, that balanced various items on his head and loved to pose for photography.
There is an [LJ Community](http://www.livejournal.com/community/pancakebunny/) in his honor and the original site for Oolong and his owner is [here](http://www.fsinet.or.jp/~sokaisha/rabbit/rabbit.htm), although it is in Japanese.
Are there sadder, more tragic things going on in the world right now? Of course. Was Oolong ‘just a rabbit’? I don’t know…
But the point is he was a creature that brought a lot of smiles and giggles to a lot of people, and now he’s gone, and I just wanted to say good bye…
and now…I will put this pastry on my head in tribute.
Bye Bye Oolong. ☹

Bye Bye Oolong… Poor bunny.
(I, too have two pet house rabbits-- so I know how cute these creatures can be.) **sniff sniff**

I understand he was sick, so I guess it’s for the best…but still…honestly, I’m crying about it. Losing a pet is awful.

Yes it is. Those pics of pancake bunny are so cute.
Rabbits are really good pets… very loveable, fiesty and fun to play with.
I think I may try putting things on my little Thumbellina’s head…I really think she would stay still for that.

This is the second tribute to Oolong on a message board that I have seen today. Influencial little bunny!
I had heard the translation as “FoodBunny” tho…

I am really sorry to hear about Oolong. I never even met the little guy and I cried after seeing all of those pictures. Bye Oolong ☹

At least he had plenty of tasty pancakes to keep his ears warm.

I don’t know… he looked kinda shifty in those pictures. Something about the eyes.
He looks like the kind of guy, you think he’s all sweetness and light… “Oh, Oolong’s a great guy! He reads to blind tubercular orphans, y’know”… you’re borrowing each other’s car keys – and you turn your back for one second -_just one second_- and _ **BAM!** _ In with the shiv!
Sneaky little bastard. I’m glad he’s dead.
… what?
