My brave little soldier Dubbs has gone to Rainbow Bridge.
He tried his hardest to eat this morning but his little heart wasn't into it. I spent the morning cuddling him and giving him nose rubs and kisses before we went to the vet for the final time. My vet was great and allowed us plenty of time with him both before and after he was PTS. My vet also got upset as he held alot of affection for my boy.
Dubbs passed away at 1.15 and already the hole in my life feels huge. I will miss caring for him and making him his twice daily salads, I will miss him running around the front room chasing my cats, ripping up newspapers and trying to chew everything. I will miss everything about him...
I spent the afternoon with my partner looking at old photo's of him and generally being quiet and reminiscing...at one point I thought I could smell him, maybe he popped back briefly to see how i was doing...
Looking at his empty hutch is heartbreaking, especially as there is an indentation in the straw from where he used lay down. I should get his ashes in about a week, I am going to do the balcony up, make a little garden out there and place his ashes on a shelf outside on the balcony, it was always his space and always will be his space. I may at some point scatter his ashes on Hampstead Heath so he can play with the bunnies up there, for now though I want him close to me.
I wont miss loving him as I will *never* stop loving him and will always love him forever, even though he isn't here in the material form now, he still has my heart and will be ever present in my mind.
Thanks again everyone for your kind words and support, it really has helped. Please give my boy a little thought tonight...and cherish every moment you have with your own adored and lovely pets. They are so so precious.
Dubbs...I'll never forget you, I was the luckiest girl alive to have found you. Sleep tight my precious baby, see you again one day...
