Thanks, everybody. This has been a really rough time - every time I pass something or do something that reminds me of Scone, I break down again. And given how much he was a part of my life, that means pretty much any time. It's going to be a difficult week at work, I can see.
I cleaned up his cage and litter boxes and packed away his toys last night. I took down the NIC guards over the bookcases and the blocks to keep a bunny out from behind things. That was hard, but in some ways it helped, too.
His cage isn't entirely empty, though. I put his stuffed friends Borders and Butter in there, sitting on his balcony where he loved to relax. Somehow, they seem lonely, too.
It won't be for too long. I still need to grieve for a while, and I'm going to be out of the country for three weeks next month, so there's no point trying to introduce a new rabbit into my life now. However, I did let the head of the local HRS chapter know - she's another Scone fan - and she said they'd be looking for my next companion. We'll see who's available in August when I get back from Scotland.
ray: I am so sorry for loss.. He had the best owner that he could have.. :hug1
