It's still heartbreaking to think that my best friend is gone, and it still brings tears to my eyes.
Rudolph arrived Christmas '01 and was the loviest rabbit anybody could have hoped for. He became my best friend within days and we held a strong bond through his many years.
He was a bossy rabbit, and what he wanted he tended to get! He never befriended any other of my rabbits(or any other animal) - he even chased the crows and cats away! and so he lived a content life by himself; still managing to boss around my other rabbit Blue through the bars of their cages.
He remained like a puppy through out his years (you always got lots of kisses and licks as a welcoming and you could never go anywhere without him tagging along behind).
Sadly this year was tough for my boy. In Spring I noticed he wasn't hopping in a straight line and would occasionaly fall onto his head. Of course we went straight to the Vets where he was checked out and given medication. His condition improved apart from the occasional wobble and soon he was back to his happy, hoppy self!
Unfortunatly on the 21st June 2010 I went into his house to fed when I noticed he was lying motionless and when I picked him up he was floppy and wobble - unable to run in a straight line. I also obsereved he has dug like crazy in his house the night before. I, again, went straight to the Vets where I waited with my baby until the Vet examined him. Bless his soul he licked my hand non-stop for 15 minutes while we waited for the vet and would not leave my side. The Vet informed us it was not looking great but gave Rudolph some medication to ease the pain and told his to come back tomorrow (if nothing has happened during the night). That night was the worst of my life.
In the morning I awoke early to find Rudolph still alive in his carry case. My mum had been up most of the night with him. I decided to give him a cuddle as this always calmed him down but just as he cuddled into me he let out a horrific screech and several soft muttering noises. Sadly he passed away in my arms. I do believe he waited to say goodbye to me before he left us. I miss him everyday. Here are some memories of my little angel:
