My pet bunny died...

[DragonMaster 1,166]

So... we found our pet bunny dead today...

 

He was pretty old for a rabbit, at least 12 years old. He had been looking a bit ragged for awhile, getting a bit thinner, and hopping around more stiffly but... I dunno. It's weird. I'm sad but I haven't cried, and I feel terrible about it. I think all of us in my family knew his time was coming soon, but I always thought he would start to get very noticeably sick and we'd have to take him to the vet (that's how all the other pets we've lost, besides our fish, have gone out)... But no, my mom and her friend just found him lying on the floor...

 

I feel guilty that I didn't get to pet him one last time, or give him some veggies so he could've had a good last meal. Heck, we've had him out on our screened in porch for a few days so he could hop around more freely, he could've been laying there dead for over a day and no one came to check on him... Honestly, there were a couple periods in his life where we probably weren't taking care of him as well as we should, and now I really wish I could go back in time to fix those mistakes. He didn't have a bad life by any means but...

 

I just... I don't really know...

Im so sorry to hear that! As long as you know you gave them a good life its all that matters, whether there is an afterlife or not. Its tough losing a pet and it sucks. Don't let it beat you though. I heard that animals can sense emotions or something, so your bunny would have known when you were sad or happy. Try not to be sad, for your bunny! We are all here to support you, hope you pull through the darkness.

Thank you. Even if we might not have provided that well for him in the past, I think the last few years we've been making up for it. He had a fairly large porch where he could hop around and hide or lay in the sun, and we gave him lots of vegetables and fruit. I hope he could tell we cared for him as you said.

Anyways my sincerest condolences and may he find a better life in bunny heaven...

I also lost 2 of my bunnies... one broke his back when jumping really high and the other one got his belly scratched open by a cat and died shortly after... So I know your pain and I am sorry to hear that I hope you are doing okay.

Some of my pets have died, and it's really painful. I know what you're going through, but don't be sad, and don't feel guilty for anything; there's no point in doing so, been sad won't do good to anyone. Stay happy and think of the good life it has had, focus on the good stuff, and not on the things that you could have done but didn't, there's no point in thinking about such things. You'll be over it soon, you'll see!

Awww... bunnies are so adorable. It's sad when they die because they are so cute. I apologize for your bunny.

[DragonMaster 1,166]

Thanks so much guys. The fact that so many of you took the time to give me some kind words means a lot. One of the reasons why I love this community so much.

 

We're going to bury him either today or tomorrow. We'll choose a nice place for him, somewhere with lots of grass, near the bushes or something. Somewhere he would've loved to just hop around.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss *hug*

I am so sorry to hear of your loss *hug*

Thank-you. ^_^

 

We buried him last night. My dad even made a little head-stone for him. It's the first time we've ever had to bury a pet. The rest of our pets that have died had to be put to sleep at the vet... Though, I guess we should be thankful he didn't get super sick like the others did.
