Oh Gina, what you did for Cheeky was the kindest, least selfish thing you could have done, you did it for him. You have both fought so very hard over the last few months and this was the news that we were all dreading but we knew it would come. As you say, you would only have been delaying the inevitable and through that Cheeky would have suffered, old Mushy-Pea had had enough. I know that when I had to make the decision with Harriet that January Friday, Jason my vet said that we could keep her going over the weekend with painkillers but I knew that she had been too loyal and good a friend to do that to her just for me and Jason said that to let her go sooner rather than later was the kindest thing to do. It is very hard but you have been brave enough to do this one last thing for your boy, nobody on earth could have done more.
There are some wonderful messages on here, I have read them with tears pouring down my cheeks. I think Cheeky was, more than any other bunny, a part of this forum and everyone will miss him. Perhaps he should be our forum mascot - he will never ever be forgotten, he lives on in all our hearts.
I am sure that we all feel there is a cloud over us today, I certainly do, I keep thinking about you and little Cheeky, I even woke up in the night thinking about him! You are not alone, you have all of us here and all our support for having been such a wonderful "guardian" on earth for Cheeky. Big hugs to you, Gina.
