I lost my little guy

Hi, I'm a newly registered member.Last Wednesday my little Thumper passed away suddenly. I hadhim for nine years and miss him terribly. I just wonder howlong the hurt lasts. I keep beating myself up wondering whatI could have done to help him. How oldhas any of your bunnies lived?

9 years is a full life!!! It sounds like youwere a wonderful caregiver for him...its easy to beat yourself up Iknow...but it sounds like you were doing things right.

Sorry to hear about his passing..

NO nodont beat yourself up Hon , Youmust have done a wonderfull job with himto have him live a heathy longlife . The pain never goesaway but it does lessen abit with time , youwill always have a tender spotin your heart for yourlittle bunny .

Welcome to t he Forum , its a niceplace to come sit andheal !.

Sorry to hear about Thumper. Soundslike he lived a good long time with a loving owner. Gypsysaid it best - the pain never completely go away, but you will be ableto think of all the fond memories you and Thumper had after awhile. I still think of my very first pet, a GSD named Docandhe died 19 years ago when I was 12.

thumperlee,

I am so sorry that you lost your rabbit. The hurt takes awhile to fade. Many of us have suffered losses and canunderstand your pain.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your rabbit. I have also lost a few rabbits and I know how you feel.

I am sorry for you losingThumper. Hope he had nine happyyears. I only had Pebbles for ninemonths, and would miss her so if shewould pass away.

Here is a link to Rainbow Bridge that we use on this forum for bunnies gone.....

Rainbows!

Hello Thumperlee!

I am sorry to hear about Thumper. The hurt might lastforever. I lost my dog of 15 years about 2 1/2 monthsago. I don't cry everyday anymore, but I miss her everysingle day. Each day you will feel less and lesspain. Always remember the great memories you have withThumper. And just think, someday you will feel like getting anew bunny friend. Maybe not now, but someday, you might beready to share all of your love again.

Hugs! :inlove:

I'm so sorry to hear about Thumper, but if youbelieve in Rainbow Bridge he is happy and healthy and binkying with allour wee souls up there until we see them again, which we will.

I lost my housebunny Fudge last September, and I needed a week off workas I couldn't stop crying, some things I did were - accept what I wasfeeling at any time, whether I was bawling or happy, collected all hisphotos and made a photo book of his life (my husband still can't lookat it) but it now brings me much comfort. Took a couple of the bestpics, got new frames and put them up in the house.

We still had Miffy, his female housebunny friend, and in time we got anew bunny, Munchkin. Not ever to replace Fudgie, but because we new wecould give another bunny what Fudge had and also for Miffy, as we andFudge would have wanted her to have a companion.

Time DOES heal, I know it's a bit of a cliche, but be gentle withyourself. Thumper had a long and happy life. Look for those rainbows,amazingly after we lost Fudge, I saw so many Rainbows in the sky - Ilike to believe they were from Fudge.

Take care

thumperleeyour bunnyhad a long healthy life thanks to you. I can only hope that my 4bunnies live as long as your guy. I have lost severalbunnieslast year which I only had for a few months, I wasdevistated. I can only imagine what you are going through but time willheal the wounds as it did for me

So sorry to here of the passing of your little one, it sounds like he had a full and wonderful life with you

:angel:Thank you all for your wellwishes. I just felt like no one could understand the paid oflosing a bun. Thumper was such a little bunnybrat. I never had him neutered because his dad died onthe operating table having it done. Because of it, he didwhat I called "spin & spray". I'm sure you canpicture what I mean. He'd also give me a "kiss" if I askedfor it! We'd play with his building blocks. I'd setthem up, and then he'd come over & push with his nose untilthey fell. He could race up & down thestairs. He was litter box trained, but always stuck his bunnybutt OVER the box & mess the floor anyways. He alsohad a pink stuffed bunny that he'd always throw all around.When I'd give him pellets with the little colored treats in it, he'dalways pick out all the treats & leave the rest! Imiss my little brat.

I know how you feel. I've lost a few myself. And I beat myself up about it, but it doesn't help.

I'm sorry to hear about your little guy. He sounded so sweet! I hope your pain eases quickly.

If you need someone to talk to, feel free toprivate message me. I just lost my bunny on the 11th andwould be happy to chat.

Im sorry you lost your bunny.but 9 is old for a bunny.bluebird
