Sad to hear about your cute bunny's departure. My condolences. You seem to have shared a special friendship full of love.
I've had so many animals throughout my life, and every time one died, my heart shattered into a thousand pieces... I once had a bunny and didn't know I had to give it a salt lick. I witnessed it dying with convulsions when I was about 12. Quite horrifying. I felt so bad because it was my fault it died, so in a way, I killed it. I cried the whole morning. My 2nd bunny lived a long, happy life.

I didn’t know bunnies needed salt licks, the amount of salt we use around here though, she probably just found some on the floor if she needed it.

I’m happy you got to experience a long-lived happy hoppy bunny. They really are so fun and quirky little creatures.

Broken hearts heal but the scars are always visible. The water cremation people just contacted me to say she’s ready to come home, I don’t know how I feel about that but I suppose it’s better than looking out into the garden imagining her little body in there, wanting to dig her up for another cuddle. I remember the first time it rained when I buried my other furries… all alone and wet outside in the cold… Jesus, I could torture myself with those memories, I’m trying not to…

So a question.

If you have friends, they know your pet has died and they haven’t bothered to message you, are they really your friend? I get the feeling that they’ve only pretended to care and that the friendship was only really about them having their needs or self importance fulfilled.

How much leeway do I give? It’s been 6 days.

Or is it my self importance that feels offended? I don’t know how to gauge this.
I’m okay with other people having misgivings, may be I don’t understand what a friend really is.

Imagine life as a river that carries away everything, really everything, and see your powerlessness as a blessing, because it sublimates you and allows you to find peace.

I always buried mine. I heard cremation services for a cat were 300$ ++ around where I live. Such a rip-off.
This might comfort you if you haven't seen it previously

She looks like the most adorable cat and her gaze seems full of love for you in that picture. Her eye color looks like a greenish turquoise, what a beautiful cat. Sorry for your loss

My beloved cat died 2 years ago on Easter Monday. He had some health issues, mostly liver or pancreas. He had a bad habit of eating poison plants and I took too long before getting rid of them, so I think it contributed to his health issues...

I buried him under the pear tree where there used to be only weeds growing, and some Lily of the valley. Next spring (last year), I found out my favorite flower had...

A little bit of closure.

I cleaned my little angel’s eating and hay litter corner properly today. What a weird empty spot it is now.

Yesterday I received her home in a tiny
wooden box, I felt like it was time to take the next step and say a final goodbye with a little ceremony.

I tore up her hidy hole box from the corner, the other one she sat in front of the fireplace was smaller so I didn’t need to break it up to fit in the fire drum. I took her last hay litter and her last bowl of food, which was all dried up after a week of sitting there, and I burnt them, with a little love letter I’d written.

I’ve been feeling really unwell, kind of numb and not taking good care of myself so I knew it was really time to send her off properly and get back to looking after me better, I know that’s what she’d want.

I feel the release, and I feel the joy of knowing her, having her as my bunny, increasing. What a beautiful little soul, I love the story we shared together.

She’s truly free now.



Thank you to all of you wonderful people who’ve shared this bittersweet time with Littlebunny and me. We are ever so grateful for your love and care.

If someone is your "friend", I believe that there should at least be an acknowledgement of your loss, even if they don't quite understand it.
Moey was loved by you and it's sad that she's gone. My condolences to you and I am glad you had the closure ceremony.
