If anyone's still following this, BunBun passed away 10 minutes ago. He became lethargic and disinterested in eating or drinking very quickly, and seemed needy and wanted to sit on my lap and wouldn't sit anywhere else.
He passed quietly on my lap while I was sitting with him on the couch. I started to fall asleep and I assumed he was asleep too, but he was dying. He did not scream, or thrash about, and I'm glad for that. I dozed for a bit and when I woke, he was gone.
He'll be happy now with Lucky at the rainbow bridge.

Goodbye my sweetest, dearest little man. I will always love you. You held a special place in my heart that nothing or no one could or will ever touch. You were so wonderful. THE BEST bunny I could have ever hoped for. I remember the day when I first saw you for sale online and I knew you were going to be mine.
You're going to be so overjoyed to meet up with your Lucky my little man! I know how much you missed her. Go be with her - you have mummies blessing and love and you know that. You waited to pass till after my birthday, you knew I needed a day to feel cheerful again before I was hit with another blow. Thank you so much baby.
I had a lot of firsts with you. You were the first bunny I had neutered. I'd participated in other peoples rabbits being desexed, and my mother in law desexed a bunny for me when he stayed on at her place, but it wasn't the same. I was so proud of myself when I decided to spend that $90 getting you neutered rather than on some junk I didn't need.
You sprayed all over my face and danced around my legs, I hadn't ever had a bunny do that before either. I had my first
"I'm going to cry, I love rabbits so much!" moment with you.
I had my first true panic when I couldn't find you one day when you were little, and you'd run out the back door when it had blown open and went to the neighbours yard. Thank god you didn't stray too far and I found you very quickly.
You helped me learn what owning a rabbit was all about. I admit, I wasn't such a great rabbit owner before you came along. It was you and joining this forum that helped me so much. I know you'd say thanks to RO if you could.
I don't know what I'm going to do without you, my funny bunny. Right now it feels totally unreal. Your little body is wrapped in my favourite t-shirt and I just want to unwrap you and tell you to wake up, but I know you wont. I'm taking your little body to the vet to be examined, baby, I hope you don't mind. It's just your shell anyway and I know the bit that was 'you' is long gone. Still, I hope you don't mind.
I'm glad I took so many pictures of you. I wish I had talked about you more often to people though. They didn't really know you at all. I'm a bad mother in that regard. Oh, some friends on MSN liked to hear about you though and I would talk about you, that was always fun.
Sakura is gonna miss you too baby. She loved the little 'dates' you and she went on, even though she's not yet spayed and was a tad fiesty. But weren't you awesome!?! You didn't once even try to nip at her or anything. You treated her perfectly. I'm so proud of you!

[align=left]I have so much more to say about you and show everyone, but I will do it later when I'm not in so much shock.
It's not fair that you died, you were so young. Not even 2 yet!
I love you BunBun :hearts
