Hopping Through The Forest With Bunny Foo Foo

I'm so so sorry Morgan!! i think this is a shock to all of us; and I know how you feel. I hope you'll be comforted by knowing Foo is in a great place now. ray:

Foo was in a great place already, dammit! it's not fair

It's still hard to believe. When I got off the phone with you earlier, I sat and cried for you. I am so sorry. But, just as we talked earlier, there's a reason you saved little Elvira. There's a reason why you went into that pet store. She will never replace Foo. But I'm sure she will put a smile on your face, even though you cant see it now. You've had so much joy with her already. I really wish I could say something that would comfort you right now, but I am still at a loss for words. We have become close over the past week of talking on the phone and I am feeling your pain. I wish we lived loser and I could just drive over

^ This is very true!

I'm glad you rescued Elvira; there was a reason why you found her when you did. I hope she can make you feel better! :in tears:

Dammit the world´s so unfair. I don´t how many times I´ve come back her to check but it is true and I still can´t take it in. I feel so angry and frustrated that this happened and that such a gorgeous little girl was lost.

Elvira is going to be your way of holding on to Foo´s memory and she will be counting on you for lots of love and hugs and to give her a wonderful home. She needs you more than ever to help her grow and learn as she´s lost her friend as well. Your son will need your help to understand what happened to Foo as you can see that he adored her. Fate is a funny thing and Elvira was there for a reason and you took her home because she was meant to be with you. The great thing is that she´ll have a wonderful life just as wonderful as Foo´s was.

I was looking for something which expresses what we all feel and I thought this summed it up:

A heart of gold stopped beating
Four little paws at rest
God broke my heart but this I know
He only takes the best

God bless you Foo

I'm so sorry Morgan. :hearts

Invisible bunny

Wake up Mum, wake up quick!
I have to stop your nightmares or you'll get sick.
I'm still here Mum I've not gone
Instead I'm just in spirit; I'm now an invisible bun.
Don't cry Mum
I can't bare to see you sad,
You were my best friend
The best a bunny could have.

When you sleep in the night
I'm lying by your side
I listen to your heartbeat
And I nuzzle you with pride.
Sometimes I bring my bunny friends
Just to let them see
The one who was my Mum
The special one to me.

In the morning when you wake Mum
I miss your lovely smile,
You can still wave
You see, I can still see you, although you can't see me?

I follow you around
I'm the shadow in the corner of your eye,
I'm still your little bunny
Invisible
And I will never die.

I am so sorry to read about this Morgan

Thank you guys so much. I don't know how to say how appreciative I am of all of your thoughtful words.
I am so sad she is gone and so in shock still. I loved her so much.

Jennifer, the vet did say that there was a chance she did have an underlying heart or respiratory condition that I wasn't aware of, and that he couldn't hear with his stethoscope. He was very upset that she passed. He was a wonderful doctor and very nice. He has english lops of his own, so he knows what its like to have a rabbit and love a rabbit. She passed away in a very loving and kind vet tech's arms, he was SO upset. He cried to me and apologized so many times. I just thanked him for being there with her in her last moment. I'm so thankful he was there with her.

When I got home with Foo, I sat in the floor with her and cried and pet her for the last time. Elvira stood up at the side of her cage and watched me. I put Foo in her box with her fur blanket and her little pink dog. I then sat on the floor and scratched Elvira's nose through the bars of her cage. I opened her cage and she hopped out on her own, ran straight for Foo's cage and jumped right in and started to eat Foo's hay. Then she scampered off and explored.
I think there is a reason I have Elvira, I think she is going to help me heal from this. She already has in a way, by just being here with me.

I may have to move passed this blog though and start another one for Elvira. I don't know if I can look at a lot of this and the name of it is heart breaking.
We've decided to nick name Elvira, Ellie.

Again, thank you everyone for your thoughts and hugs and nose bonks. I really appreciate it, and I know Foo does too. I really do love you guys.

Oh no! you lost your pretty Bunny Foo Foo . I can't even tell you how sorry I am . I really wish you didn't lose your heart bunny .

Maybe you can start a new blog for Ellie. Like Michelle (holtchick) did when she lost her heart bunny.

RIP beautiful Foo. We are all going to really really miss you.

I'm so sorry to hear about Foo. I know what it's like as a rabbit owner to lose a pet too soon and I know what it's like from the veterinary side to have a patient pass after an elective procedure. I want to reassure you that you made all the right decisions in choosing to have her spayed (although I'm sure it doesn't feel that way). I'm sure that in her passing she was pain free and knew she was loved.

I am extremely saddened by the news! I cannot believe Bunny Foo Foo is gone... I hope she will meet Peter over the bridge and comfort her.
Know that she knows you loved her very much and that she will still be around and be there for you in spirit.
I can still feel Peter with me and right now more so than at other times, it's actually making me cry at the thought of it.
It was just her time, and yours to let go, it may feel so soon, but as has been said, this is part of a larger plan.
Elvira really did come to your life at the right time, the same way Phoenix coincidentally came into mine. She will help heal the pain.
As time goes on it will be easier but there are times that I still cry when I see pictures or think of memories of Peter.

We're all sending you warm hugs and wishes from my household :angelandbunny: .

B.I.P. Bunny Foo Foo. :heartbeat:

What the.........?

Morgan I am beyond stunned. I thought maybe I was in a big Nyquil haze and misread this. My jaw just dropped and my eyes blurred with tears

Oh Morgan what can I say, I am just so very, very sorry. This is not fair. A spay is not supposed to be a risky surgery and I encouraged you!! Omg, I'm just still in disbelief....

I know what it is like to lose a pet you love. My heart is just breaking for you.

I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better. This is so redundant but I just cannot express how sorry I am, I just told my husband and he can't believe it either

I'm sure I will be able to offer more words of encouragement after I let this sink in.....

RIP little Foo. Binky free.

:happyrabbit:Morgan, Í´m still so sad about Bunny Foo and so weepy. It´s so hard to explain to non bunny people exactly why I feel as I do about this gorgeous little girl. You are such a strong person and she´ll always be right there in your heart just where she´s always been. I think it gives us all a little jolt when something like this happens and makes us our appreciate our own bunny loves that little bit more. She had a wonderful, happy life just as Ellie will. Your blog was my start on RO and it´s was convinced me that this was a great place to be with other bunny slaves who adore their boys and girls.

I really look forward to reading about Ellie´s adventures and seeing her grow from a tiny baby into a wonderful adult.

I just got off a plane in my favorite place to run away to. I've been looking forward to this since I bought the tickets in October. I'm being treated for the depression that has plagued me for a decade. I need this break.

But...

I want to turn right around and go home and hug my bunny. Reading of Foo's unfair passing now has me terrified to be away from Monty, even though she's in the mostly able hands of my sweetie. Binky in peace, Foo. I will miss your stories and my heart hurts for Morgan.

I just cleaned out Foo's cage for the last time. I think it just broke my heart all over again.
I keep shaking my hands thinking that I can shake away the sadness. Its not working. I feel so weak right now.

Missy, I hope you find the help you need. I know Monty is safe with your boyfriend, she will be fine. But when you get home hug her tight. She's such a beauty and she lives in a great home with you has a mom.

I want to thank everyone for your kind words. You guys are definitely helping me get through this. I won't be on this blog much because it hurts my heart. I just wanted to say I cleaned her cage out for the last time. I made Elvira a blog though, so if you guys want to, you can keep up with her on that one. It makes me feel better and useful if I write about her. It helps me get to know her and get closer to her.

The next time I'll be on this one will probably be to post pictures of Foo's clay paw prints. The vet made them for me. They'll be done at the beginning of the week. I miss her so much. Thank you all for following Foo's blog and making it something special. Thank you for giving her life a little bit more meaning. I really really enjoyed writing about her and I'm going to miss that so much. I enjoyed it more than words, like I enjoyed her more than words.
But any of you feel free to come by here to reminisce about her or post something if you happen to think about her, thats what I'll be doing. Though, I probably won't do much looking at the pictures, they make me so sad. You guys have been so great to me, thank you. :hearts: :dutch

*hug*

that's so sweet of your vet to make casts of Foo's wittle bunny feet.

I'm so glad you've got little Ellie... I'm looking forward to watching you discover her personality as she grows!

Oh Foo, I miss you so much. I can't walk into the kitchen without thinking you're in there and when you're not, I freeze up and just stand there. I found myself in the kitchen a lot today just standing there, not knowing what I was doing. I'm having such a hard time with this, I didn't think I would ever be in this place. I didn't think you would ever leave me. My heart hurts so bad. I washed all your dirty blankets today so I could give the baby a blanket to sleep on. Its the last time I'll wash all your white fur off those blankets, the last time I'll pick it out of the lint trap in the dryer.
I really miss feeding you bananas in the mornings and at dinner time. I miss that so much. I also miss your dewlap. I don't know what to do without you here, I have no routine now. My day today was so strange and empty feeling. You were missing to feed lunch and dinner to. I didn't have to take the time out to wash and rip up your greens, because you weren't here to eat them. I cooked dinner and didn't have any company, so I cooked in silence. I let Ellie out and she is obsessed with your cage, she won't stay out of it and she can get through the bars. So I let her eat your hay. She fits in your hay box, and I gave her your litter box.
I'm so exhausted from crying, but I cried less today. Maybe I'll cry even less tomorrow, but I don't think so.

I'm really struggling with this bun, I'm having the hardest time without you here. Ellie makes me feel better though, she makes me feel like there is reason to go into the kitchen other than for food. I'm so glad I have her, but she isn't you. I wish you were here big girl. I love you.


I'm sorry for anyone who is reading this, its so sad. I'm so sad and I don't know what else to do. I'm having the hardest time. I don't want anyone to think that I'm neglecting my son or other animals, because I'm not. I'm just so dazed and I'm just kind of lost. Not to mention, I haven't talked very much today or eaten very much. I never thought that losing her would be so hard.

Whoever said, "its better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all" obviously never loved a rabbit.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I'm crying with you, not only because I remember what it was like when I went through it, but because I really liked Foo. You do cry a little less each day. Try and find things to help distract you. It's ok to cry, but I know for me, I didn't want to be crying all day, so having something I had to be busy with, helped a little. Is it hard having Ellie in the kitchen? If it is, maybe you could move her into a different room, just for a little while.

be sad here all you want - that's what we're here for! we understand how hard it is to lose your heart bunny and how lost you must feel without her. if talking makes you feel better, we're happy to listen
