Funny thing is I didn't really care much for a rabbit when we first bought it. My wife wanted one. As time grew, especially after he got unwell the first time, he grew on me. Yesterday he was hopping around the living room happily trying to climb over the barrier he shouldnt be. This morning he was shaky. I took him straight to the vet. The vet said he looks a bit better after some treatment. I had the option to leave him there but I decided to take him home, knowing that I could provide care as I wasnt going out. But soon after, he died. (Even if I left him with the vet, I do not think there is much that could have been done. When I spoke to the vet this morning, she did say that bunnies who develop these symptoms are commonly pass away after 3 or 4 times. Unfortunately this was true in this case.) I was there to see the life go from him. I tried to feed more medicine after I called the vet for instructions but he didnt even try to swallow. A few short minutes later he died. He is now resting in my parents garden, next to Rex the old family dog, who died many years ago. Although I am sad, and I do miss his presence already, I am not the emotional type. Yet I do feel a little more upset then I though I would do. I can see how this type of thing can effect people, especially children, very much. I am not sure if we want another bunny to fill the void. Funny thing is, I spoke to my wife and I am more for another bunny which can continue Mikeys legacy then my wife is. Strange how a little animal who just eats and hops around can change your outlook on pets.
ink iris:He was a cutie.
