I had to let Musti go...

[BunLover]

Doing in what terms? Regarding him, much better. Regarding other things, not so much.

Now that Musti has been gone for almost 3 yrs, Sorry if this made you sadder.

No need to say sorry, it doesn't sadden me any more than i already was, it's just a fact that he's been gone for two years now. I've come to terms with it. Though i still miserably failed at not crying when writing today's entry, but i think it just goes to show how much he still means to me.

You never forget, but the pain of missing them does become less acute over time. I still miss my little Dash, and hope I get to see her again one day.

I visit each one on the anniversary of their departure--I still tear up, but I also feel joy when remembering all the good times we shared and all the antics--our avatar Nikki loved to lay on the tile floor behind the toilet--it was cool and gave her the illusion of privacy--one of my many happy memories and I even have pics on my screen saver.

Hey, my little boy. A third year has passed without you.
I still love you so, in a special way, just a bit different to all the other buns i've had.
I'll see you next year.

 

[Preitler]

I like that you keep up remembering him.

I struggle with that emotional stuff, feel the need but can't really cope.

Some of you bunniers know that my lop boy Musti was battling with a knee disease bulge and sadly, we had to let him go. We didn't want to put him trough the torment of having either an amputated leg or a chance of the disease returning/him passing away on the table. The vet was really nice and talked us through all of the options. Sadly she said that Musti would never heal to normal even with treatment as his joints had been destroyed by the illness. So we thought about it real hard, i wailed and sobbed a ton, gave him my final hugs and kisses, he directly licked away my tears, and with a broken heart, let him peacefully enter forevermost sleep. I feel like that was the best thing for him.

May he forever rest in peace. I'll never forget him. Ever.

He was beautiful. I'm sorry for your loss

Sorry again for your loss. Our original rescue went to the bridge 15 years ago this month. Still loved and missed greatly--know exactly how you feel.

Well hello there, my fella. My sweet little bunny boy. My first love and admiration. My world of wonders, my beginning of rabbitry.
I see that today marks four whole years without you. Can you imagine how long that is? If only twists of destiny had allowed us to be together for longer.
I've matured a fair bit since i was a wee 16-year old. I've learned to advocate for your successors much better and gotten them to the vets at much more favourable chances. I've learned to coexist with them, to bond with those who don't love me from day one like you did. I've learned to bond them to other bunnons. I've come so far because you existed in my life. You taught me so, so much. I give you at least half the credit for helping me waft through the first year of pandemic and turmultuous mental errors i had. I've come so far that the last bun to join the lineup is already three and a half years old with never a problem, living completely free range and just totally chilling in modest yet pleasurable life. It is all thanks to you being such a sweet first rabbit for me that the ones after you got increasingly better and better living conditions. Oh, how i wish you could see the life that Iris has right now.
But i'm so happy that you came into my life, that you showed me the way and that you were such a patient, gentle giant of a lop. I hold deep reverence to everything you changed in me, how you helped me assert myself over my parents to advocate for your needs, how you were just *there* for me through everything. How both dad and I would fall asleep, you in our arms; how you'd lull us to sleep and then keep on sleeping next to us.
Ah, i just love you so.

Till next year, my love.
