I am very sad to say that my dear littleJellybean has passed away. She had a tumor removed from her foot lastfall which we found out was cancerous. She also had a sore on her hipfrom dragging her back legs around. When I took her for herconsultation about having her foot amputated, the vet put her onseveral different meds to heal up her hip sore before proceeding withthe surgery. He gave me a cream to put on her sore in addition togiving her Baytril orally and Penicillin injections. (Are you kidding?I can't even look at a needle going into someone's skin!) But Igave them to her every night and she was so good! She never complained,she would just lick my hand the entire time and try to scoot into mylap. All the vets I took her to remarked how well behaved she wasthrough all the poking and prodding.
I was coming home from work on Monday the 3rd. I called home from theSecaucus station where I switch trains. Scott (my boyfriend) said hewas holding her and petting her head. I couldn't wait to get home to bewith her, too. We head just been to a funeral for Scott's aunt the daybefore and I felt we could both use some cheering up. When I got home,he looked depressed. I asked him what was wrong, expecting him to saysomething about his aunt's passing. When he told me Jellybean died Ilost it. I didn't stop crying til some time the next afternoon (Ididn't go to work either). I missed her by about half an hour. I justwish I could have gotten home earlier and been able to say goodbye. Iwish I could have pet her head once more or given her one more treat orjust have that sweet little face look up at me one more time.
It was almost six years ago I brought Jellybean home. A local breederwas closing his business and I was looking for a bunny. I had alreadypicked out two and was just about to leave when my boyfriend spottedJellybean and asked what was going to happen to her when the breederclosed. He said she'll probably go to butcher. That was all I needed tohear. She went home with us. She was so nervous that all four feetwould shake when I picked her up. I was glad she grew to love us andfeel comfortable around us so the shaking eventually stopped. She wasvery sweet and loved to play. I hope I did enough for her to make herlast days comfortable here. I am very grateful for being able to sharein the life of such a wonderful creature! I hope she knows how much Ilove her and miss her! It's amazing how such a small animal can leavesuch a big hole in your heart when they're gone!
We drove her to my mother's house in PA to bury her among two cats, twodogs, another bunny and assorted hamsters and fish. When we finishedour little ceremony, Scott and my mom filled in the rest of the hole.When they finished, they noticed a little bunny sitting and watchingthem. Then he hopped away. I think he was there to take Jellybean toher new place so she would not be scared and alone.
I know this is long. Thanks for listening. I know you understand how I feel.
