Donut - Sudden Death

:( i am soo sorry to hear of your sad news...and be sure he had the best help with his mummy loving him s much....
i have lost buns suddenly over the eyars and its so hard to come to terms with...i also lost my cat.in the same sort of way but she got to spend a few hours back at home before she was taken to the vets dying to be pts...

we beat ourselves up for years over pets deaths as much as we do humans deaths in the family but its because theyre family too.

im pleased your vets is so good and compassionate.

my heart goes out to you. binky free little bunny.

you wil know when time is right to get another bun or not.i vowed no more and ive now got 4 and 2 cats....but i cant live without them..illness deaths an all.
 
So sorry Karen..it is hard when we lose a pet suddenly with no explanation..
but I know you gave Donut a loving home and did all you could for him.
thinking of you xx
 
Just had to break the news to hubby - he was really shocked. I didn't want to phone him at work, so waited until he had got home. I found myself saying 'no more, I can't keep doing this', but I know that somewhere along the line we will need to get Bailey a little friend - or a big one actually as Bailey is rather a big boy.

I always say this too and OH would be pleased if I gave up buns....
