Whats that got to do with anyone else?!!
My bosses were asking about my rabbit who was sick today, and what had happened to him and I explained about all the investigative treatment he had, before the vet discovered that it was just his time to go (Bare in mind I was thinking they were asking as animal lovers)
J then asked how much this all cost and I told him roughly what it was, he almost fell off his chair in shock, "You spent that on a bloody rabbit, an ancient rabbit at that, should have brought it to me, I'd have done it for 3 quid"
Then his wife C joined in saying how she'd probably have had him PTS first, then have a post mortem done.
I said that was a reasonable idea, but if I'd done that and found it was something treatable I'd never forgive myself. He was my responsibility from birth until death, and whatever it cost to keep him happy and healthy was down to me. Then they decided to call me soft, and I can't remember the exact words used, but implied that because I care about small animals, that somehow makes me immature and stupid!
I guess some people are just too "old school" to see how wonderfull, and loving bunnies are
