Hi guys,
Today, I lost my dear rabbit Edward this morning. He was almost 4 years old. He had gotten sick before, but only from minor things. I'm very down right now, and would appreciate any comforting thoughts .
I'm very sad right now because I'm already missing him . He was such a wonderful and passive rabbit. He'd let me pet him, and would go after my hand so I would keep petting him. His lose came so sudden. I never thought he'd be gone this soon . Him and his companion Bonnie were everything I had. It's very sad seeing her searching for him. We didn't let her see him dead.
I really don't know why he died, and I blame myself for not taking better care of him . He was fine yesterday afternoon, but when I went to feed them in the evening he couldn't walk or stay straight. He couldn't move even though he fought to try. I saw him suffer while dying . I'm trying to find out what had happened to him. He had several seizures until he finally gave up. I stayed by his side until the end . I petted him just how he always liked it. I'm having a hard time with this. For me he was more than an animal, he was my companion. I had him for three yeas, so you guys can imagine how bad I'm feeling right now. Do you guys have any suggestions?It'll never be the same because he was so unique. I won't have the his big red eyes on him telling me "feed me, please". I won't have another rabbit after my hand begging to be pet.
Now, I don't know what to do with Bonnie. She's desperately looking for him . I know this will be very hard for her because they were together for three years. Never were apart, and liked each other from the very first day I introduced them. Should I get her another companion right away?
Any comforting thoughts are greatly appreciated!!!:wave:
