Casper & Sophie Photo Delivery

I've missed you and the bunnies! So lovely to see them. And how well they are. I hope you're doing well too xxx

My two have lost all their litter training too, they just go where they please, mostly outside on the concrete in the first run but if it doesn't rain (like now) it stinks XD I do worry about Chibbs hurting her eyes now she can't see. Barrie and Casper do similar binkies :D

I'm here a lot less these days: I'm on Discord fora a lot more (mostly a mix of art-D&D-neurodiverse-LGBTQIA fora).
 
Aw I've missed these two, absolutely beautiful photos as always Reader, you really know how to capture them 😊 Casper looks eternally young, you and Sophie must be doing something right 😅. Hope you are keeping OK too xx
 
I'm really sorry I never got around to replying to all your kind messages about their latest update and photos. My health has been very up and down because of changes to my medications, but please know that I read them all and appreciated them ❤️

Casper and I very sadly had to say goodbye to our sweet Sophie on Tuesday. It was time... She had developed so many problems with her eyes she was in pain, and there was nothing we could do for her anymore except removing them, which is not something you put a frail 14-year old through... And her back legs were deteriorating quickly, and she was so tired... On the morning of the day we had arranged for the vet to come over, she was clearly fed up and so done with everything. She had her favourite treats and cuddled with Casper all morning and fell asleep in my lap in the sunshine she so loved.

I'm incredibly grateful we had so much time together. I adopted her in July 2011, when she was just an awkward-looking 3-month old toddler, so it's been almost 14 years. She's leaving a giant emptiness, though... Casper is really struggling, so I've been focused on getting him through the day, but life will never be the same without her, my special, clever, silly, beautiful girl. I miss her so much.
 
Ah, I forgot to say. I told her on Tuesday morning that her photos have made a lot of people smile. Thank you all so much for reading the updates in this thread, and all the lovely comments you all always had on her (and Casper's) photos ❤️
 
Sweet dreams Sophie, thank you for the honour of knowing you & inspiring many a bun to live their best life. I'll miss you beautiful girl ❤️
 
I’m so sorry you had to say goodbye to Sophie 😢 she‘s had the best life possible. Thinking of you and Casper.
 
I am so sorry for your and Casper's loss. Sophie had the best care for almost 14 years and it was obvious that she was very loved by you, Casper and your mum who often helped you get them vet care. Sophie was truly a special bunny and she has left a huge void in many hearts, including your RU friends. I enjoyed seeing the recent photos you posted of Sophie and Casper.
It sounds like she had a lovely day to say goodbye for now to you and her beloved Casper. May you and Casper comfort each other as you grieve the loss of your special Sophie. Hugs 💗
 
I'm so very sorry that you had to let beautiful Sophie go to forever sleep, she really did have the best life with you and Casper. Sending hugs for you both.
 
I'm sorry Sophie had to go <3 I find it makes it much easier when they choose their time, so to speak. Doesn't stop the emptiness though: I still really miss Aboleth and we had her for less than half the time you had Sophie... The biggest hugs to you and Casper xxx

And best of luck settling your meds as well.
 
Thank you so very much, everyone, for your care and very kind words. They mean a lot. Thank you ❤️ I read them last week, but haven't felt up to replying until now.

It's so unreal that she's been gone for over a week already... Time feels so weird now.
 
Yesterday there was someone collecting money for charity at my door. When I opened it, she said very excitedly, "Oh, you're the man with the two bunnies! I like that so much!" (I've seen her before when bringing Casper and Sophie home after a vet appointment, and there's a sticker next to my front door informing emergency services there are two bunnies inside in case of a fire, so she must've put two and two together). She seemed so happy I didn't have the heart to tell her. Still, she was very sweet and made me smile.

That is a lovely story!
 
I've been making something to remember Sophie, and I finished it today:

I miss her so much... Sometimes looking at her photos makes me smile, but sometimes it just hurts because I want her to be back with us, like I want to reach into the photos and bring her out so she's with us again. Life has been so different since Casper and I lost her. No more eye care routine several times a day and weekly eye checkups at the vets for one, but also no more Sophie using Casper as her pillow, no more Sophie snores as background noise throughout the day, no more Sophie excitedly crunching on her carrot greens, no more super relaxed flops, no more deeply content Casper getting groomies and cuddles from her, no more silly Sophie making me laugh... She lived a long life, but I wish she could've stayed with us forever. My sweet, precious girl. It feels so awful and wrong that she's buried in my parents' garden instead of here, alive, with Casper and me. She was always so full of life, enjoying every fun and comfy and tasty thing life had to offer. She changed a lot over the years, but that never did. We were together for more than a third of my life, and now she's gone and I don't know how deal with that. I just miss her so much
