i never ask for this before but my old conti boy thorne is just giving today and very quiet and sleepy which usually means they are ready to go to bridge hes been showing his age for some time now and his poor old joints have let him down today as hes struggled to get about he not in pain but poor boy is moving about so slow which he hates :?, hes still eating etc and still loves cuddles and snuggles but hes just not himself poor boy just looks so fed up and i feel his time with us is now limited :cry:
he went in the garden today but his heart just wasnt in it where hes usually up to mischief stealing rosemary today he just sat looking at me and couldnt wait to go back to bed he loves snow :?
i was wondering if you could spare him a thought and if and when its his time that its peaceful and that he goes to sleep with sweet dreams and doesnt wake up
thank you
old boy thorne :love:

thorne is nearly 5 which is very old for a conti since they usually live 3-4 years hes actually looking old now he is a total joy to own and is the dad to my luchiano, he loves to be the centre of attention and his favourite hiding spot in the garden is in the rosemary bush which also happens to be his favourite snack lol just been to check on his hes still with us but was laid out on his side ive given him some rosemary to munch on and helped him up so he can get to it so when i left him he looked at me with rosemary sticking out his mouth ;)

oh he is just like all our bunnies but thorne well he is such a gentleman and a sweetie he loves babies and often plays with the babies of any breed including nethies and mini lops lol in the garden he may be a giant but hes a gentle giant :love:
 
Bless him. I always know deep down when its their time to go when its my own. I always prefer for them to pass on at home surrounded by their own things, companions etc.. but only when they're not in pain. Its so hard to see them when they're old and start to deteriorate as there is nothing you can do other than keep them comfortable.

I feel for you and hope he passes peacefully :(
