For those who have never lost a rabbit- let me tell you that what Just Jack did is one of the hardest things to do....
We lost a rabbit to pneumonia two weeks ago. I thought we had it undercontrol till suddenly - he got worse and died within an hour. Icouldn't even get him to the vet's in the time from when he got worseto when he passed on.
I wasn't there when he died - Robin was holding him while I got readyto hop in the car and take him to the vet....(I had been trying to callthe vet to get him in town here locally but no one would take him sincethey don't handle rabbits).
I still cry over the fact that I wasn't there at the end. He took hislast breath as I walked in the room and Robin said that he knew I wasthere.....
Anyway - Just Jack - I've spent half the afternoon crying - both for Phoebe - but especially for you.
