Oh trust me thats not rude at all. I know how odd the grass is since Igo up north all the time. The grass is called St. Augustinegrass. Bug love it... so the grass is always superitchy! I hate it. Fluffy like it and Flopsy doesn't.

[Flopsy]

Flopsy was put to sleep at 9:00 today.I've been crying all day long. A couple of weeks ago my momwas bringing him out to the hutch and he jumped out of the bucket hewas in and hurt his leg. On wednesday the 12th: He keptdragging his left leg and his left side of his face looked like he hada stroke, kinda like head tilt, but not. My mom brought him to the vetThurs and he said he slipped a disk. He also told us to put him in asmaller cage so that his movement was restricted and it looked like hewould recover. He was also on two kinds of medication. Hesbeen all alert and eatting, he seemed normal.

I didn't get to check on him Fri cause I had a track meet but yesturdayhe didn't look to good, so I sat on a porch swing with him for to hoursand we both feel asleep. Then after I put him into back intothe little cage he tripped and he flipped onto his back and twistedfunny, his stomach was gurgling bad. After that we tried toget a hole of the vet, but since it was Saturday no one was there. Then later I went to check on him and he was trying to get to his waterbut he couldn't lift his head to get it, so I lowered it for him andhe drank it. Then I set it back up and he was fineagain. This morning my mom came into my room and told me thatshe didn't think Flopsy was going to make it. I randownstairs and he was flopped on his side. When he saw me he tried toget up but his legs wouldn't work. So he just lifted hishead. His stomach was gurgaling and I kept trying to get himto drink water with a eye dropper and frist he would drink it buteventally he just stopped trying to swallow and it came back out of hismouth, he kept trying to get up and couldn't so I told my mom to puthim down. I couldn't see my baby suffer. We calleda vet clinic thats open on holidays and weekends and nights. Theydidn't do rabbits, so he couldn't be saved, but they would put himdown. We brought Fluffy in to see him one last time andFlopsy tried to get up.

He laid in my lap the entire car ride and kept stroking him how heliked it. When we got there my family went inside and I satdown on a bench they had outside and told him about the day I first gothim and how much I loved him, and how much he would like the rainbowbridge. Then I brought him inside and I stayed with him when they puthim down. They try to find a good vein, but he was sodehydrated when they tried his back leg he jerked because it hurt andit didn't work. Then they did his front right leg and I keptstroking him and I told him I loved him and that I couldn't wait to seehim again and then goodbye your my best friend Flops... he looked at meand then his chest stopped rising and falling and I knew he wasgone. I stayed in that room 30mins after he took his lastbreath stroking him talking to him. I whispered "no moremalcusion, no more matts, no more pain. Just meadows andclouds, hurdles. We will meet again someday"

My family walked into the room and my mom asked me when they were goingto put him down and I was like he's dead. And they all cried with me.Then one of the employes told me I had to leave cause they needed theroom So I kissed him one last time and we left. He was left on hisside and I stood his right ear up just how it was when I first sawhim. I decided to get him cremated and that Iwanted his ashes back. I really really am hoping that I gethis ashes, cuase the thought of him being mixed with others justjust... well ok

Sorry for all of the errors I just don't feel like checking over them.

I miss my baby so much and I know that I will never have a rabbit likehim. Good bye now thanks for reading. My heart hurts so bad. I've neverloved anything as much as him.

Thank you guys so much. Flopsy wouldalways run up to the front of the hutch to meet me and would follow mearound the yard for treats.:heartbeat Fluffy never has reallybeen handled much(cause he is "supposed" to be my sisters. He is somine now ) I would brush him, trim his nails and take him into the runevery so often. He just runs alway from me. Its very difficult to takehim out of his hutch. hes nothing like Flopsy.This really upsets me. I've got my mind made up to make himwaaaay more people friendly.

*sigh* I'm still hurting really bad and what makesit worse is I'll think hey I'm going go play with Flopsy and I'll getall the way to the back door and remember... I loved himso much, its so hard for me to let go. I really like the shrine thingits cute. I think thats one thing I'll do. Thankyou all for your replies, they mean so much to me at this time.

Oh this really made me hurt. On Sunday night I was outsidecleaning up the hutch from Flopsy and I was crying so loud, that mylady neighbor looked at me from her porch. Shes alwayswatched me play with Flopsy in the yard and shes seen him jumphurdles. And she knew he got hurt. So I saw herlittle dog yesturday in my yard so I went to bring it over to her andshe was like "Oh thank you so much. You can see how well these two(herhusband and his friend sitting and talking on the porch chairs)babysit. (I laughed and I turned to go back to my house) Did yourrabbit die. (I kept walking alway and said yes, then she said) Did youget another one. (and I said no and started to cry and kept walkingfaced away so she wouldn't see) Why don't you just get another one.

I was stunned.:? I started to just run. I musta seemed so rude but... I guess some people just don't understand.

Well I'm gonna go now. Thanks again.

Oh Ashley I am so sorry! And nosomepeople won't understand and that's their problem. Veryfew people can understand how a little rabbit can become such a bigpart of our lives. The people that can't are the ones that miss out. Iknow I'm being terribly blunt, but I guess that I feel I'm entitled tobe. Some people were very rude when they found out that BlueBelle haddied "Well at least you have another one right?" Others tried to besympathetic but they could never trulyunderstand because theyhad never owned a rabbit.

I understandthe personality difference too. BlueBelle andCupCake are completely opposite. BlueBelle was into everything, alwayscausing trouble, and she would make sure you knew she was there.CupCake is very quite (Ha! A quiet rabbit. Imagine that.), she doesn'tlike to be where the action is, and her mottomustbe"Why have 6 humans when 1 will do?"

Just remember its ok to cry. Its ok to miss Flopsy. But its not ok tofeel guilty about those feelings. I have been telling myself that somuch this past week.

(((((Hugs to you and Fluffy))))) :hug:

Ok I just wrote about a six paragraph about my day and this stupid computer didn't post it.

Thanks everyone. Its been three weeks now and still every sooften I forget that hes gone and I'll be thinking about what we'regoing do when I get home and BAM!

Today I went to wal-mart and found this for 12 bucks! Itsperfect and means to say I took it home with me. It has wheels andreminds me of a show dogs cart.

-Ashley & Flopsy :bunnyangel: & Fluffy

Oh and I just remember something. Fluffy now lives inside, well duringthe night my dad won't let him live inside full time... grr.His home is a NIC cube one. I copied the layout from Lyndsy's 1stMonkey's one.

 

[Flopsy]

Well I need to upload pictures, but I've beenway to lazy. I've got a lot and they're stocking up,lol. Well all is well in Flopsy Lake's, well except for theno Flopsy part... still grieving a little. He will always bein my heart.
-------------------------

Main problem. Fluffy seems really lonely and so am I. Him andFlopsy were really close. I feel so bad for him and now I'm reallystarting to want another rabbit.

This is Giselle. She is fromhttp://www.roxrabbitrescue.org.The rescue is located about ten minutes away from my grandparentshome. Isn't that lucky! And about 2hours from myhouse.

I wanted her last year cause I wanted Flopsy to have a gir1 friend, Ialways felt bad because I thought of Flopsy and Fluffy as havingnothing to talk about. It'd be like being locked in a whiteroom with one person to talk with for 4 years. BORING (and I reallywanted another rabbit to love and to rescue one would be awesome.)

Well now( a year later) she is STILL there. I think she isbeautiful and what kills me is that she has the same prop ear Flopsyhad. I would really want to rescue a rabbit because I havelots of time that I spend at home, usally on here while Fluffyexplores. I think she would love it. Its alwaysquiet, she would have a nice NIC home, she would have all theattention she'll ever want, and she would have Fluffy.

Shes been there at least a year! I know that herecould be her forever home. Even if her and Fluffy don'twork. I can make another NIC home. She has noreason to have to be sent back.

--------------------------------------
Here's things I'm worried about. I'm sixteen and can drive(Well I will be able to by next week). But it seems mosthouse rabbit society rescue groups don't want kids to be the maincaregivers. Another thing maybe shes not what I think sheslike. Also that they don't seem to update their website veryoften. Is she still four or is she seven!?! Maybeshes NOT EVEN THERE still and is at her forever home Ireally really want her. I fell in love the moment I saw herpicture.

When I was surfing the net a couple weeks ago. I knew that Imust have her. I even printed her out and made fliers andgave them to my parents. I have her pic and her desription onmy wall. I put a picture on Fluffy's wall.
-----------------------------------

Sorry for all the droning. I'm really excitied, I just feel aconnection and I've never met her. I've been praying forher. I've never felt this way about any other rescue rabbitI've seen online.

[peapoo_bunny]

aww.she's really cute!..i hope it all works out!ray:let us know what happens!:wink:

 

[naturestee]

She's beautiful! Maybe you could callthem and talk to someone there about her? They could tell youabout her personality, how old she is, health problems, etc. and they'dbe able to answer questions like if they'd be okay adopting to you.

 

[LuvaBun]

I agree with naturestee - give them a call and ask lots of questions.

She really is a lovely looking girl, and if she is still there after ayear, then I think she needs a forever home, and I know you could giveher a good one. Good luck!

Flopsy- Moonlight Sparkles Shadow of Fate

Fluffy-Moonlight Sparkles Sunkist Ray of Hope

[Linz_1987]

Wow I never really thought that Rabbits could have show names.

I want my bunnies to have show names now just for fun!

We should make up a post on show names. People could help others find show names for their bunnies.

Can any one think of a show name for Pepper and Dottie??
