Me too. I often regret not taking more of Mr B but he hated me taking photos.

Beautiful photos Jane, I remember them all. Xxx

Lovely photos they do make you smile

What gorgeous bunnies

Thank you

I am feeling the loss of so many Rabbits over the years a lot at the moment. I think losing Elyse last week has yet again re-awakened the grief of all past losses. Over 120 of them since 1998.

I know that we have to accept that no living being can go on forever, that our Pets usually have a shorted lifespan than our own. But knowing all that does not negate the pain of loss when loss occurs. My Rabbits have been my life for almost 20 years. Infact I know for certain I'd be dead myself by now if it were not for my Rabbits. They are my true 'Family', far more so than any human relatives I may have.

Sorry for going on a bit there .............

Such lovely photos - I can only access them when I am at work, not at home, no idea why.

I wish I had taken more photos of my pets. You have the gift of showing their personalities through your photos.

My animals are my family too

Gorgeous photos and a wonderful way to remember your adorable rabbits.

What beautiful pictures

I can understand this, I've been going through the same re-awakening of grief after losing pets. It's weird in a way because we have a pretty good idea of what their lifespan will be when we get them, but like you said, that doesn't really help lessen the blow. It's difficult with them not being a part of my life anymore. I like to think (to quote a book character) "But our lives aren't just measured in years. They're measured in the lives of people we touch around us". I feel like all my pets over the course of my whole life are still with me in this way. They touched me, and so they live on through me, both through memories and through helping to shape me into the person I am today. I'm a better person for knowing them, and that's not something that can be taken away.

And I know this is true for you too. Your pets saved your life. They might've had relatively short lives if you compare it to a human lifespan but their lives still meant something. I hope this is of some consolation to you like it is for me xx
