I was so worried when I logged on this morning about Mr Smores... I'm so sorry he's gone. It must have been such a difficult decision to make.

Rest in peace little guy, have fun doing all those binkies up there!

RO members are the best! I know my wife (wabbitmom) has thanked everyone but I still can't thank you all enough for the comfort you words have provided to my family.

You know another reason why RO is so great, is that Mr. Smores will be missed from Europe to Australia (look at the posts from individual members)and this is just your bun that wasSO loved by all of us.

This forum shows all - that ALL buns are loved across the GLOBE..

Mr. Smores was not just your bunny - but the "worlds" bunny and that is just fantastic" in my book. He made a difference, gave us a laugh or someone had a similiar experience, through Mr. Smores..

Best life I think you could have touching others, and just had to pointout Mr. Smores achievments in life..

Thank you!! It is a comfort to know that others remember our sweet little guy with fondness, too. The thought that he touched so many lives is heart-warming.:hug1

God bless all of you for your kind words and condolences

What a great ambassador our bunnies can be!

I'm so sorry for your loss, and I know how hard the decision would've been to make.

Binky-free at the Bridge, dear Mr. Smores.....watch over your loving family.

I am so sorry Rebecca.

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

Thanx. My mom decieded to but her Bunny down monday because she had cancer and it would have been to risky to remove it and cause more pain for her. She wasn't eatting anything as of recently and she was getting grumpy. We had her since she was a baby. I think mom and dad are done with bunny's for now, unless she takes one of mine.

Missing all my bunnies that are at the bridge . Rebecca

It's beena weird few days. Kinda up and down here. My Dutchess, who was neighbors with Mr. S'mores, has been down in the dumps missing him. I never realized she even paid him any attention, really. (The cages were 6-8 inches apart so we wouldn't have a surprise litter of Dutch buns from them.) But apparently she was kinda into having him nearby. So now we're dealing with Bun grief, as well as our own. It's funny how they can grow so fond of each other even without being formally bonded. And the couple of times we got them together for breeding purposes, she really didn't like having him around that much! Then, yesterday, I had to take one of our flemmies in to the vet to have a culture done. Easy, fairly routine type of visit, but it was SO hard to be in the bun room getting him ready with that empty spot there, and then being in the vet's office so soon after our last tragic visit. I'd make the not-too-smart decision to be on the pc right before we left, crying for a half an hour over the rainbow bridge posts. Ugh, what am I going to do with myself?

Also, our son (16 years old) has been going through a series of crises recently. He has bi-polar disorder, and sometimes I don't think I'm going to live through this rollercoaster ride. All in all, my heart's been pretty heavy lately.

Sorry you are going through such a rough patch right now - seems things always happen together, doesn't it:?.

I guess Duchess just got used to having Mr Smores around, kind of like part of the furniture, and she's wondering where he is. I think bunny grief is so sad, them not understanding what is going on (although i think they often know more than we give them credit for).

I hope your son's problems even themselves out - it must be so stressful and tiring. But, you know we are here whenever you need us

Thanks, it helps. One day at a time, right?

 

[weedflemishgiants]

Yes one day at a time. I have friend who has been in rabbits for 23 years. She had to put down her oldest Flem a few weeks ago- he was almost seven. She tried so hard to keep him going. The last time I saw him I knew it was only a matter of days but she was so attached to him. Kept trying and trying, but you know seven years old is ancient for a Flem.

After she put him to sleep, friends had to take care of her barn for a few days. She could not even pass the cages, look at another rabbit, nothing. Just fell apart.

You'd think after 23 years a person gets used to it but never.

She's much better now, though. It gets better.

When I put Blizzard down in April, the only thing I could do to feel better was go out to the barn and get one of my great big bunns and hug and hug and hug. Course, I don't know how much they appreciated my bawling all over them- they tend to object to watery sprinkles.

Maybe that is why I like the Flems so much. So much more to hug.:biggrin2:

The rabbits are soo precious. And everyone jokes about how much time is involved and being a slave to their bunns. But the truth is the bunnies make the bad parts of life better always.

No matter how depressed a person gets about other things in their life, they just can't give up. I mean, who would feed and water the bunns?:biggrin2:

 

[Luvmyzoocrew]

:rainbow: :cry4: so sorry

 

[juliew19673]

Go ahead and cry - it gets out the stress and anxiety and will help you relax.. Definetly just one day at a time and sometimes it helps if you break it up into - just getting through the morning; just have to get through the afternoon..

Feel free to vent - talk it out - obviuosly a number of us are more than willing to listen (as we will all be in your shoes one day)..

You spend so much time caring for them and getting to know their personalities. (Our buns are indoors, so they are just as much pets as show buns. They'repart of the family.) Maybe that deep grief, even after so many years, is a sign of being a really good owner. It's not a guilty grief, just a terrible loss in your life of *someone* you really love.

 

[Bassetluv]

I apologize, as I hadn't seen this thread until now...I had no idea that Mr. Smores had passed. wabbitdad and wabbitmom, your posts had me in tears; you both conveyed your love for this little guy so strongly. They really and truly are our children, aren't they? To a non-animal lover, this can be so hard to understand; but to someone who takes animals in (for better and for worse) the pain of losing one is universal.

wabbitmom, I dealt with that when Raph died. I thought that Anna was okay; she was eating and hopping about after he was gone, but as I watched her - really watched her - I noticed differences in her behaviour. Whereas she would be running about in the backyard and nothing could make her come indoors (other than herding her), she began wanting to go in after only a short time out there. She'd run to the door and sit, or if it was open, she'd go inside on her own and would head straight for 'their' room, where she'd go and stay for the remainder of the afternoon. She became quieter than usual, and stayed in a corner. Even though she really didn't bother with Raph a whole lot while he was around, when he was gone she knew, and she missed him.

Mr. Smores was given a wonderful life, and he had wonderful human parents who loved him. I only wish that all animals could have as much love in their lives as Smores did...and I'll bet he's up there at Rainbow Bridge right now, whispering in the ears of all those future bunnies who are considering coming here, 'Pssst...I know this really great mom and dad for you...'

Rest in peace, Mr. Smores....:hug:
