Hugo's There
Wise Old Thumper
I knew her time was coming but it doesn't make me feel any better about it
For those that don't know Jojo was born with severe neurological problems and had major issues with fear aggression. Her life was incredibly difficult and for us she was ridiculously hard to handle and deal with But she was still one of my favourites
In the past 2 months her problems had become more severe to the point where she was running into things and hurting herself. I know some people were concerned when she wasn't taken to the vets each time this happened, but we knew it wouldn't help her. There was nothing they could do and there was never any lasting damage to her to treat. We knew that all we could do was keep her as happy and safe as possible until she went to the bridge. And she did have some happy times, the sun came out and there were plenty of binkies despite everything.
But this weekend she had a very strange episode without any injury to herself. For 5 to 6 hours on Saturday she was completely unresponsive to us, food anything She just sat quietly in a corner, very unjojo like. But she came out of it and on the sunday was much brighter, however we noticed straight away that her pupils were unequal and the left wasn't blinking in the sunlight
We made an appointment first thing Monday morning to see Juliet as we trust her completely to make the right decisions for Jojo. She wasn't available until this morning but Jojo was fine, eating and her eyes returned to normal, so we were happy to wait. The past two days Jojo was back on full form, aggressive and binkying! So I wasn't 100% expecting today's decision But I know in the long run it was the right thing for her.
I hope she is whole, happy and relaxed at the bridge, surrounded by bunny friends as I know how much she wanted company but couldn't have it. Because she was so difficult to handle she took up a good proportion of our day so she is going to leave a massive hole in our lives
I will never forget her, she was given the most awful life to contend with and there was nothing anyone could do to make it better. I just hope that I made it a little more bearable for her some of the time.
Love you Jojo
