i lost my Ally yesterday and to me she seemed like the best bun in the world, i have had several buns before and none were quite like Ally. she was so friendly and relaxed around me and my family. she would even run upstairs and jump onto my bed, and lie next to me to get warm. she lived outside in summer time, but always got brought inside to play and had loads of free range time in the garden. In winter she lived inside as a house bunny and had free run of the conservatory whilst i was at work. She enjoyed running around the house, sleeping in dark corners, lying in front of the tv, on the sofa with us etc.... she used to lick us like crazy and then lie down waiting for us to rub her nose.
she got ill a week ago, she started to pant all the time and couldnt run about much. She was still bright, but just didnt have any energy to be as playful. her whole body used to rock and sway with her breathing. She even began to mouth breathe after walking into the living room. The vets diagnosed cancer and we decided to let her go to prevent any pain and suffering, a house move was coming up this week and the stress of going on a long car journey and then being put in a new place would have probably made her worse. It all seemed so sudden as, the previous week she had been ok.
She has gone to the bridge now
i miss her so much already knowing that she wont be at home when i return from being out, and she wont be able to lick my hand expecting a nose rub.
the fact is, i love rabbits and love them being around. Would it be too soon to rescue another bunny?
im afraid of forgetting Ally, or always comparing a new bun to her. The fact remains, that i really want to get a new bun! but its only been a 36 hours!
what should i do?
