At just before 11am this morning our beloved Scoot passed away peacefully in John's arms at the vets He had really left us last night and all that was working was the "engine" - but as Scoot was such a fighter he waited until Auntie Sally the vet gave him a tiny bit of help - and it was a tiny bit too.
Scoot would not want us to be sad or to cry for him - he only ever knew happiness, laughter, cheekyness and love for all the time he was here. He defied nature - he defied birth and went on to live for 2 years and 10 months.
John and I are truly devastated but not for Scoot - we are devastated for us, for all Scoot's Aunties and Uncles, his little 2foots, his cousins and his brothers and sisters - oh, and of course his fans. I don't think words can actually describe how we feel but we are not sad for Scoot - for the first time since his heart started to beat in his mummy's womb, he is whole. He has a perfect body now, he has no missing legs, he's able to stand up, hop, walk and most of all to binky. In all his life, other than being able to shuffle for a few months of his life, he can actually stand up and run and play - he can breathe properly, he can see properly, he must be so very happy.
John and I would have loved to have been able to see him do his first binky - the joy on Scoot's face must have been incredible - we bet he raced around and around and didn't stop for hours. That feeling of freedom and stamina must have been wonderful and we know that Scoot so deserved that joy.
We have cried so much today - because we are going to miss our cheeky monkey - but if Scoot was to hop in now he would not know that we where his mum and dad - his mum and dad always showed happiness, joy and laughter around him - and that is what we are going to keep on doing for all the other Scoots and all his brothers and sisters.
Yes, we want him here more than anything but only because we are being selfish - yes, we will always miss him but to Scoot, where he is now, time has no meaning and in the blink of an eye we will be with him again, this time never to be parted.
Scoot's mission in life was to make people laugh, smile, chuckle, make freinds and to be happy - and he did that a million times over.
We will still be the same about him and will still share his stories with everyone - it's what he would have wanted.
We don't need to see his earthly form to be able to stroke him, we can do that a million times over with memories. We don't need his earthly form to hold him, our memories do that for us. We don't need his earthly form to feel him - we can feel him in our hearts always.
Please celebrate Scoot's life and the fact that he made so many people happy - please carry on the work that Scoot had started, making joy and friendship and of course, rabbit awareness.
Scoot survived for so long because he has such a strong spirit - a spirit that will be around forever and will always be popping in to check on us all.
Please don't be sad for Scoot - just love and remember him as the cheeky monkey that he was and always will be.
A Message From Scoot:
This is to my very best friends and to the people I love very much and care for with all my heart I do not want you to be sad over me going to the bridge, as I have had a great life and loved every minute of it
From the day I was born I have over-come many things in my life and have never been sad or neglected in any way, my mum and dad have looked after me and have given me everything I have ever wanted in life and they have given me the love to keep me going. Many people wonder how I have kept going with so many disabilities and this is down to my mum and dad again and my friends, you have all been there for me when things were not going too well and we have had many laughs and giggles along our journey together and these things I would like you to remember about me. I was born to put smiles on people's faces and to laugh and enjoy company of the many people I have met over the years and this I would like to thank you for everything and just remember I will never be far away from you all, I will come back and talk with you all again, as I have more to do yet but instead of having a disabled body I will be whole for the first time and I intend to use it to the full
There are many things I would like to tell you about I feel for you, but I think you already know that I have always cared and loved each and everyone of my dear friends and this I will continue to do always and forever
Please do not be sad for me, as I am now whole and my legs work properly and I can binky and run about this is what I want you all to think of me now, not a disabled bunny anymore, but a bunny that can more and run at will
If I can ask one favour from you all, could you please look after my mum and dad, as it will take them time to adjust to me not being in front of their eyes, but like I said I will be with them and you my friends
I love you all– I always will – forever and ever – I am with you always and I love you all to the moon and back xxxxxxxxx
Love and snuggles for now
