My soul mate

Just seen this thread. What a wonderful tribute to Olive. I hope sharing her story is helping you. I still think of my bridge bunny every day and love him just as much as when he was with me.
 
10 months on, my darling girl is still making my heart ache. I have her photos at home and at work, and as a screen saver on my phone and most days I think of what I lost when she left me. I miss her bunny kisses, when we'd slouch on the sofa with her on my chest. She'd either be a happily semi conscious bun, lazily sleep licking my chin in response to fussing, or she'd be intently cleaning an eyebrow, or a cheek, or one side of my nose. I miss coming down to breakfast to find her waiting on my favourite seat for her morning nibblots. I miss her interrupting my work from home days by deftly inserting herself between me and my laptop, clambering on the keyboard and reeking havoc with my work. I miss how long it took to tidy her home, she would put herself everywhere I tried to sweep and clean or she'd stick her bunny nose under my top and lick my back till I had to stop to play with her.

Odie and Ivy are utterly joyful, I'm grateful every day for the privilege of looking after them. Olive was my soul rabbit.

Her paw prints are on my heart. The pain now is so great because to joy before was even greater.
 
I am one of many members of this forum who know how you feel after losing your soul bunny Olive. The feeling of intense loss that stays with us is the price we pay for the privilege of being lived by a special bunny. Olive had a wonderful long life with you and she will forever remain in your heart. Sending you gentle hugs and love!

We're lucky to have had that bond. Not everyone gets to find their soul rabbit, whenever I feel sad I try to feel grateful too x
 
I remember one time, I was stressed and overwhelmed by work and struggling to keep it together. I went to see my girl for a comforting snuggle and I was lying on the rug with her. She knew I needed to be looked after! She decided the best thing for me was a thorough grooming and set about diligently giving my face a good wash. Obviously this cheered me up and I tried to get up to fuss her, but no! Every time I attempted to move a firm paw was put on my cheek to stop me! All stress forgotten, she reminded me of what was really important and all that silly stress was just human nonsense.

Obviously, I could have got up at anytime, but when you are given a firm direction by an insistent paw I defy you to resist!
