Goddamnit! My rabbit just died.



Can I get some DU love for Sandy? The kids are all broken up.

7. Oh, I'm so sorry! I had a rabbit when I was 16 years old,...
a gift from my boyfriend at the time; I named him Peter Rabbit; he was incredible--when he heard the frig opening, he would slide around the corners of our hardwood floor corners to make it to the frig in time to get a bite of lettuce, or a few carrots, peanut butter, or whatever. He used to drape himself over my Mom's neck and shoulders while she was reading the newspaper. He was litter trained (except when he shat in my momma's shoes in the closet! She loved him anyway! He died when he drank from the toilet, we think, and got pneumonia. It was a great loss for all of the family! RIP Peter!

I had to leave my two rabbits in the UK last year, and one of them died this month, too... poor darlings. I'm thinking of you and your beautiful friend.

That is a beautiful picture. You should frame it. I love the stoic look that bunnies always seem to possess.

27. Oh my--I clicked on this thinking it was a joke about being pregnant.
That used to be a slang term for finding out you were pregnant.

Back in the pre-EPT days, they actually injected rabbits with urine from women who needed a pregnancy test. If the rabbit died it was a positive pregnancy...

I am most sorry to hear about your bunny dying, MrSlayer. That is so very sad. Hugs to the entire Slayer family.

These posts have cheered the kids some. In fact they can't believe strangers can be so nice. I really appreciate it.

33. Oh, I'm so sorry. I've got a bunny myself.
Ours was an "unplanned" bunny who was probably dumped in our neighborhood last summer -- no one claimed him after we ran ads, put up signs, etc. I've never had a bunny and I must say after I got over the initial shock that he wasn't a cat (we have three felines) I've really grown to love the little fella.

Your bunny was beautiful and I send my best wishes to you and your family.

34. I'm so sorry, MrSlayer...
...and especially for your kids--losing a beloved pet is so, so hard for them. Bunnies are such special, wonderful animals, too--they have an uncanny ability to work their way deep into your heart and your life. We've had four in the last 13 years and each one was a remarkable, unique character. Big hugs to you and especially to your children. :grouphug:

If it helps at all, our own Rainbow Bridge bunnies--Muffin, Mimi, Ferdinand, and Violet--will be waiting to greet little Sandy and lead her home. These will be Sandy's new friends:
Muffin:

Mimi:

Ferdinand:

Violet:


Take care--there's also www.petloss.com if you need other thoughts about losing a sweet companion like Sandy. She looks beautiful and plainly much, much loved.

36. Awwww, RIP Sandy you were a very good lookin' bunny.
Hope there's all kinds of dog-free gardens for you to raid where you are now (the dogs can have their own place to play without harrassing you).

43. I am so sorry, MrSlayer! It's heartbreaking to lose a pet.
I know, since I tend to adopt the older animals. I've never had a rabbit, but Sandy is adorable! My friend had two, and they were housebroken. Please accept my sympathy. My heart aches for you and the kids and for little Sandy. I've lost five dogs and three cats in my life, despite fighting the good fight, and it never gets any easier.;(

Rhiannon:hug:
