it was just over a year ago that my mini-lop,Marge, crossed the bridge. this came a shock, she was healthy andenergetic to the last. her age was unknown
her partner of only 8 months, little Pilot, a holland, was so strickenby the loss he didnt eat for 3 days, on the 4th he started eating, butwas showing signs of snuffles. my parents took him to the vet and gothim the proper antibiotics, and said we caught it early, he should befine. but he just got worse. it seemed he just didnt have the will togo on without her. he passed a few days later.hewasonly a year and a half old.
i blamed myself; i was in the process of movign to a different state,and was trying to get settled, so i took my buns to my parents farm tostay for a month or so. they were kept in the barn, with their rabbits,and i know they got plenty of attention (Marge quickly became my mom'sfavorite).
its been a year, but it still hurts sometimes. i cant help but feellike if they were here with me they'd still be here with me now.
