Hoppit!
Wise Old Thumper
When you showed your departed-for-the-bridge bun's body to it's remaining partner/s how did they react? I was just wondering following the thread about the elephant calf that died, and how her family seemed to mourn her. When Ginger left us I expected Pickles to freak out. They'd always been so close, but he just hopped around as if he didn't notice Ginger was lying there. He looked a couple of times but without any obvious distress and he didn't stamp or cower or anything. I don't know, maybe it's because he was lying on a blanket and it all just smelt like vets. Poor Pickles, he went into a deep depression afterwards which he didn't come out of for months, so I think somewhere in his little bunny brain he did know. He just didn't react in the way I thought he would. What are your experiences?
