Thanks everyone. I've had a really hard time facing this thread since she passed. I've had final exams to deal with and I've just been trying to get through them the best I can.
I really miss Reese but I've done a lot of thinking the last 2 weeks and I'm at peace knowing she didn't suffer. I've had quite a few scares over the last year thinking I might lose her and when I think back on that and the thoughts that crossed my mind (I was afraid she'd suffer or I'd have to have her put down which I'm not sure I'd be able to do) I realise that I couldn't have asked for a better end to her life. That's not to say I wouldn't give anything to have more time with her but I wouldn't have wanted her to suffer. Plus, she died while I was trying to do my best for her, I had no option but to have the surgery done on her.
She died well loved. She would have been 6 on September 25 and because of that I really spoiled her. I knew putting her under to have her teeth done every 2 months was dangerous at her age but I had no choice. I only had a year and a half with her and I wish I had more. But she was always my special little girl and was spoiled rotten. She was picky at times so she got treats I wouldn't normally give my bunnies (yogurt drops, on occasion a few flakes of cereal, alfalfa hay because she wouldn't eat any other kind, etc.) and despite being really busy, I made sure to spend at least 15 minutes just petting her, sitting with her, or just letting her kiss me. I used to bring her inside and give her massages all over which she loved. And the whole bottom of her hutch was lined with soft mats that were easier on her feet and just comfier for her. And it's because of all this that while I still miss her a lot, I know she had a good end to her life.
I hope you know how much Ilove youlittle Reesie.:bunnyangel2:
