Carrot just died in my arms.....my heart is in pieces

I'm EXTREMELY sorry for your loss
But you know something, animals are put on this planet for a reason. They are more than companions, they are part of the reason the earth is still rotating. I doubt if there were no animals all hell would break loose.

Carrot came here to do a job, it may have been brightning your life up a bit or just being there. Who knows! But now he is binkying happily over the rainbow bridge. He knows he was loved. He knows you are thinking about him ray: :cry2 :hug: :sad:

Thank you. Aside from him leaving so soon, I have no regrets in how he was treated. I know he knew we loved him very much and he lived a great life for any bunny, esp. when you consider we found him and he was most likely dumped. But I could not have asked for a sweeter bunny. That is the hardest part.......he spoiled me and if I get another, it will be very hard to not compare and I tell you, that little bun set the bar very high!

I'm so sorry you lost your sweet Carrot. It brought tears to my eyes.

Im very sorry! Hugs and kisses coming to you!!

I can't imagine how awful you must feel. I'm so very sorry that you lost Carrot. What a comfort to know that this little one knew love because of you and your family. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank you. I am glad he was not alone when he passed. I think it would have hurt even more (if that is possible) to just find him already passed in his cage. I posted in the infirmary post what the necropsy today showed.

Thank you.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is hard whenever they leave, I have been lucky in a way, I was there when the buns I lost crossed over. For me it was some comfort, I hope it was for you.

 

[pappy1264]

Thank you. Yes, I am happy he was not alone as he went on ahead. I miss him something awful but will forever be grateful for having the chance to love him.

Just checking in to see how you are doing today....thinking of you.

 

[pappy1264]

Thank you. I am doing ok. I have decided to get another lionhead (I just miss having one. I know no one can ever replace my sweet boy, but he would want me to love another.) I have emailed a few breeders and have been looking online, as well. I have found one I am really leaning towards (he isn't ready to go yet). I will post when I finally decide. Am still waiting on some pics before I make a final decision. I am excited and sad at the same time, if that makes sense. I keep looking at his empty cage and my heart breaks all over again. Still so hard to believe he is gone.

I know the feeling. My house feels empty without Smitten even though I have six other rabbits and one foster. You never replace them. It just seems like it but you just can't.

I am so sorry. What a special guy he was, and how lucky was he to find you! He had a great family and I know he appreciated that. Binky free, Carrot.

 

[pappy1264]

Thank you. So many say how lucky he was....but I was the lucky one! I have had bunnies before, but he was.....I can't even put it in to words, just really special. I have thought of getting an older bunny (I know so many need homes) but I think a baby is the way for us to go (with having dogs). I am supposed to get some pics of a little girl that is ready to go tonight, so we shall see. I know 'the one' will find its way to me. I am thankful Snow Cap, the wild cottontail I handreared is still here (I know I have to let him go, but it is not easy for me.) But right now, he seems to be enjoying the extra attention! Thanks again!
