For a minute I thought Lennon died 😭😭😭😭😭 all the love to u both 🫶🏻
I thought so too!! Full panic for a minute! 😢
Rightttttttt
same i was like whatttt😢
Me when I saw the title: OH GOD LENNONS DEAD!!! Me when I watch the vid: oh thank goodness she’s ok
Was thinking the same and almost teared up 😭💔
Laying in bed with my sick rabbit right now when this popped up. He’s over nine years old, I got him at 16 years old and we’ve grown up together. He’s my absolute world and it hurts so much to know his time with me is limited. The stress and anguish I’ve felt over the last three days has been overwhelming. Thank you so much for posting this. Unless people have been this close to an animal they will never understand this heartache 💔
I am SO SO SORRY ur going thru this!! My heart aches for u and ur bun buns 🥺💔
I’d be devastated if I lost mine. I’m beyond attached to her. She’s my whole world, my everything 😭💜
I wish I was there to help comfort u
Sending lots of love and strength to you and your bun. ❤
Some people will never understand because to them it’s just an animal, especially a rabbit who happens to be a food source unlike cats or dogs for most of them. I too have a bunny, she’s everything to me so I get it. Losing an animal is the same as losing a loved one “ human “ . Celebrate the life your bunny has lived so far, celebrate the happiness your rabbit has brought you. Capture every moment left. Big hugs ❤
I know..hurts so much. Went through it last year. I am sorry you feel it.
When I was 9 my Grandma bought a 5 week old rabbit for my birthday and I had it for a few months and then my mom decided to give her away still sad till this day
I just lost my bunny today unexpectedly.
He was okay this morning and when I checked on him this early afternoon I found him deceased. He was a happy little guy, only 2.5 years old. He didn't show any signs of discomfort, or pain, or that anything was wrong with him (the way I found him was...horrific).
I wish I'd known something was very wrong so I could've avoided what happened, but I know blaming myself isn't the way to go.
Stumbling upon this video was something I needed, so thank you ❤
OMG my heart stopped for a sec when I saw the title... glad Lennon is OK. 💙

it's 8AM and I'm bawling my eyes out.. my first bunny died in my arms, and the thought of my other two bunnies dying terrifies me everyday.. sometimes I thought about not adopting anymore because the loss wrecks you.. but I also want to provide a pet the best life that they deserve.. you know..
Fostering or volunteering when ready helps.
My bunny is 10. She's disabled and has heart problems. It's not her time yet though. It's a lot of work to keep her clean, but she appreciates it and shows affection. I love her so much and it's so hard to know she won't be around forever. It's an honor to take care of her. Senior pets are so special and it's hard to know what to expect.
Two days ago, I lost the bunny love of my life. We rescued Mr. Bunny 7 years ago (our third bun), and I never expected so much love and affection from a bunny. He had been dumped and lived at our local vet and was between 9 and 12 years old and so sweet. He snuggled with me, showered me with kisses, followed me everywhere and just wanted to be with me always. He bonded with our children and dogs. Just the most mellow guy, never afraid. He started having dental issues a couple of years ago and had to get his teeth trimmed often. Then a tear duct blockage that caused an eye infection and kept going downhill. He got a Hail Mary in December when pain meds were introduced and seemed to ease everything that was going on with him. Unfortunately, after a few weeks it wasn't working anymore and was barely eating. Last week his head started to tilt and by the weekend he was all contorted from E. cuniculi, which I had never even heard of. I brought him back to the vet and let him stay a couple of nights but when I went to visit him, he was worse. I could have tried to do more but when I held him and he looked into my eyes, I knew it was time to let my beautiful bunny go. I held him for an hour before and just spoke softly to him, playing quiet music. We reminisced about all the good times we had together-running with the dog, playing with the kids, eating the giant salads I made him and in turn him leaving me chocolate buttons all over the house 😂. Once he was sedated, I just kept looking into his eyes and rocking him till he fell asleep. Once the second med was given, he was gone within seconds. I held him for another half an hour and then took him home for the last time as I promised him. This was absolutely the hardest, saddest, most excruciating thing I've had to go through with a pet. I did put my cat to sleep years before when she was 21 but this was worse. We were bonded, we loved each other. I never thought a tiny, 6.5lb little furball could do that to me. But never, ever would I have not been there for him. It wouldn't be fair to him to be there with strange faces, looking for me and being terrified. No, it was peaceful and I kissed him and he gave me kisses back and I wouldn't trade that for anything. I will tell you, I heard what the vet was saying but it was kind of a surreal, echoing sound when you're in shock as I was. I'm sorry if this is painful to hear, but it is and I'm very raw still from it and have been crying non stop. I know one day it will get better and I'll only have happy memories but for now, it stings very badly. He had an amazing, wonderful life full of happiness and safety and love. And I'm honored to have raised him. One day when we're ready, we will adopt again. There are so many that need loving homes and if I can give that to another bun or two, I will be honored once again.
Just lost my bunny of 13 year old. Thank you for this video I needed it. ❤
13 years ! That was one cared for bunny
@@user-jk8ur7sj3t thank you! Yeah she was fully spoiled like Lennon 😅

It really helped me after my bunny passed to have her portrait painted. It hangs on my wall above her ashes. It's nice to see her face still every day, and reminds me of the love and bond we shared.
I want to tattoo my cats on me. I had a black and calico and im gonna make them look like Ying and yang I have my black cats ashes but unfortunately my calico disappeared [she was a bit senile and deaf she was like 15] so I think she went off to pass alone bit I wanted to use both their ashes in the tattoo
I got a woman on etsy to make a little teddy of one of my rabbits who died unexpedctedly during his neutering. Sometimes my other rabbits sniff it :)
hi, if you dont mind, how/where did u get ur bunny's portrait painted? i really miss my bunny and i want to get that done too

I can't believe you just posted this video! I had to put my second 8 year old rabbit, Timmy, to rest today. He quickly came down with Rheumatoid Arthritis, and could barely move his limbs in pain. Our little corgi/pug mix almost came to tears just watching me take care of Timmy, like a patient in a nursing home, on a daily basis. It's exactly as you said...He couldn't control any movement with his arms or legs. His appetite was next to nothing. He still licked my hand as I gave him water and attention every hour. He also ate his carrots until the end.
I buried him moments ago.😥 Taking care of two rabbits for over 8 years created a world of memories.🐰
I fear losing my rabbit, he’s a mini lop and only a year and a half, but he’s my best friend, he clings to me like a lost puppy, seeks attention constantly and has the biggest personality i honestly couldn’t imagine a world without him
I joined a pet loss support group after my darling Vespa passed. Everyone, take care of your heart and do what you need to do to move through the grief. Grief is grief no matter if it's a person or another being. Losing a rabbit can be an enormous loss like the loss of any significant being in your life. 💔 Take care everyone.

Lost our muni lop bunny January 17 2023. He was 6 years and 2 months old. He suddenly stopped eating, was seriously dehydrated and was lethargic. Took him to the vet where he died an hour later. RIP Mr. Wigglesworth
Thank you for the timely video. I lost my Venus 2 weeks ago. I was holding her when it happened. I had said to her, " If it's too hard for you to keep fighting, it's ok to go." Two minutes later she was gone. I'm glad I was there to comfort her.
I'm so sorry. My rabbit is only 3 I'm kinda scared of when he's gonna die 😭😭😢
😭😭😭😭😭 So sorry for your loss

My god loosing a bunny is the same as loosing a dog/cat. This video is soooo important! Thank you so much for making it! It’s so relatable! My partner and I have had bunnies for 10 years, one boy left and we’ve lost 3 girls. We did everything you’re meant to, they were our life! We lost them all in different ways. One abruptly at home during a random seizure, she died in our arms. One after weeks of fighting and vet visits we put to sleep. One went peacefully out of the blue. I could go into depth but all I can say is be there for your pets! No matter what kinda life they lived, say goodbye, hold them in their last moments, they appreciate it and deserve it❤️

When you give a rabbit a forever home they wiggle into your heart forever.
Losing them hurts and leaves guilt in some ways more than losing a human.
We're supposed to take care of
ourselves but rabbits depend on us.
More than cats and dogs because they can't bark or meow. They're so fragile and can be attacked by predators.
All I can say is we do the best we can as busy humans.
There's only so much we can learn at a time and we make mistakes.
I try to remember that a wild rabbit may only live for a few years.
They're free but every day is filled with hunger and fear.
We make mistakes and can't read their minds but every moment should be full of appreciation and love.
Rabbits are a condensed lesson in life about enjoying every minute and not taking gifts for granted.
We learn more from the failures then the good times.
You don't know what you got till it's gone.
Thank you for posting this. We lost Tailor 11 days ago, after an illness that I waited too long to deal with. We finally took him to a vet, which I figured was going to be a one-way trip for him. The vet kept us waiting for well over an hour, during which time Tailor passed away in his carrier. He was vocal at the end, and I am sure he was in great pain. I reached into the bag, began to pet him behind the ears, and realized a few moments later that he was gone. His eyes were still open but he wasn't breathing, and his nose was still. I have not been able to talk about this till now. I've been avoiding sleeping because I think about him as soon as I lay down. I've been angry at the world. Maybe writing this will help. His closely bonded sister, Tinker, is still with us and doing fine. We're spending more time with her, and have put in an application to adopt another rabbit or bonded pair. Hopefully, we'll be back to two happy rabbits (or three) soon. For now, my life has changed a bit, and I will never, ever forget that horrible last evening with Tailor. Pets are innocent creatures and rabbits are some of the most innocent of all.
❤
I'm so sorry that happened to you.
@@Erenmir Thank you.
I understand, and send very much condolences to you ❤I also just lost my bunny at the clinic, and he was also in visible pain at the end. That's a horrible thing to experience as an owner, kinda haunts with the image. I try to remember all the happy times and binkies that he experienced, look at videos where he was calm and joyful. Hope it will get better ❤
@@ElinaEllere Thank your for this. My condolences. Losing an innocent creature in such a manner is horrible. It was an experience I will never forget. Thinking about that even instantly brings tears. I think it always will.
Oh, my! For a minute, I thought Lennon had passed away! I’m so glad that this isn’t so! Thank you for a kind and sensitive video. Losing a fur baby is one of the most painful things ever! God bless you both! ❤

I respect the fact that ur spreading awareness but pls keep it to a channel all about god (sry if it sounds rude)! Ty for spreading the message! As a fellow Christian I respect that xxx
That email you read out from the vet, broke me 😭 how beautifully written ❤️
It has been almost six months since my rabbit died. And I still have huge break downs once in a while. Thank you so much for this, you have no idea how much i needed it since there weren't videos for grieving with bunnies at that time.
I lost my rabbit last month and it still hurts. She was 9. We miss her so much and I still cry sometimes. While I hurt inside, I know that she's no longer in pain. She was a cancer survivor. Your never ready for death, all I can say is that I'm grateful for an awesome Vet and this channel. Thank you for all the care and info that you share!! God Bless you and Lennon💜
This is beyond important. Rabbits were not graced by nature much hardiness or longevity. We never know how long we have with these sweet souls and being able to love and appreciate them while they’re with us is all we can ever hope for. Be grateful for the little rascals, I know I am.
This video wanted to make me cry, but I’m just happy Lennon is ok right now❤️

Thank you so much for this video, I feel as though rabbit owners aren't looked at the same when they lose their bunny. When I lost my bunny I was told she was "just a rabbit" by people i thought were my friends. It makes it hard to grieve when people are judging you for being sad because you lost your best friend. I lost my bunny from old age on Valentines day last year, thankfully she didn't suffer. She was my best friend and I rescued her from a barn full of rabbits locked in wire bottom cages she had been there since she was born. She died wrapped in my arms in her favorite blanket.
I miss her so much ❤🕊
I have faced the same attitude. Nibbles passed 4/29/23, my home and family will never be the same. I feel like I lost a child. My whole life revolved around my bunnies, but she picked me, slept with me. I still break down daily.
I rescued a "meat" rabbit, so she wouldn't be eaten. I named her Maximus because she was fierce but loving. I noticed her breathing weird, took her to the vet and they found a hole on her precious little heart. I asked what we could do for her..unfortunately nothing. I asked if she was in ANY pain whatsoever, the vet said no but she has less then two weeks to live. I comforted her,loved on her,letting Maximus live out her final days carefree. That heartbreaking day came and she passed away in my arms. I was extremely inconsolable. We buried her in a big colorful hat box with her favorite purple blanket. I've been a Bun Mom for 10 years and my hear breaks everytime I talk about her,look at her photos, even writing this post hurts because my fur-babies ARE MY BABIES. Rest in those beautiful pastures Maximus 🐰
It's truly pure sadness
I have three bunnies (one of them sadly passed away but I never not include him when talking about how many bunnies do I have)
My baby bunny passed away two years ago after battling an illness. I have done everything I can, so many vet appointments and money spent but I didn’t care for a second as long as he’s getting the treatment he needs. It hit me when the vet told me that there’s no hope, because he suddenly collapsed and it was a matter of time. I smiled and told her he’s a fighter, he will be okay. Which was his last day💔
You’re right, I felt guilty for the longest time and kept asking myself why him. Should have I done more? did I provide him a happy life or just caused him suffer because I couldn’t let go.
His name was Nath, he’s the most unique bunny with so much affection to give, love and always cuddles up next to me and sleeps on my leg. Even in his worse moments he would always binky, be happy and stay strong for us. He fought for us just like I did for him. He made me love bunnies unconditionally and I’m here today because of him.
I loved him so much and his passing still hurts me till today and I still cry remembering him. It wasn’t easy looking at his pictures until that was the only memory left of him. I still have his pet carrier and bull of food and water. His toys and everything that belonged to him. My sister to this day can’t look at his pictures which is why I would like to express that having pictures doesn’t work for everyone as each handle their grief differently.
Nath will always be remembered in my heart. So for anyone who’s grieving, I’m here and I hear you. I know exactly what you’re going through. Always remember the life you gave your pet, and until we meet again with them in a better life❤
My Flemish giant, Chocolate had to be euthanised two weeks ago and it was the hardest decision I had to make but the only best decision for her. I had to get off work and my god I grieved and cried so so much , she was only two. She had meningitis, seizures, couldn’t eat, drink , walk.. do anything she used to do and love. In that moment she was put to sleep, in that moment I felt her little heart stop , the moment i was so scared to never have her again- I had relief only knowing she was not in pain anymore. I miss her everyday. She was not only a rabbit she was someone whom I loved, brought value, joy, love and happiness to my life and family. She was surrounded by everyone that loves her, she slept so peacefully. Anyone who is going through that process of making the decision -please know your little baby would never blame you for putting them to sleep, would never hate you to not letting them live. I didn’t want to be the one to decide to take her life away or the opportunity to live. But please again, euthanising your baby is the kindest thing u can do when they’re suffering.
I was so scared that something had happened to Lennon😰.
I had to Euthaniz my baby Ferdinand a few months ago. It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make. He was the best bunny any bun mum could ask for. His name says it all. He had the most gentle soul. And was the best emotional support bunny.💜💜
We suddenly had to say goodbye to our girl less than a month ago. She developed an aggressive tumor behind her one eye. Our vet was very pointed about our options, after 24 hours the condition got much worse and we made the tough call. We spent the morning giving her ALL the treats and let her play in our yard eating all the clover and grass she wanted. We had her cremated and it took a good week to find the proper place to let her rest.
The biggest and hardest thing about this is that our vet also owns the coffee shop I work in and his office is at the end of the plaza. I couldn't walk past his office for a good 2-3 days after.
Luckily he is THE SWEETEST man and his staff is incredible, I'm still getting hugs when they come down for coffee. It's hard to find a vet like that, we really lucked out.
Her pen and stuffy are still in "her" room, we donated the unopened 7lb box of hay to the vet's office for other small pets to munch on while they're there...baby steps...
I’m sorry to anyone else who has lost a bunny or pet also. I needed this video we lost our baby girl Maia a month ago the day she was getting spayed and found out she was a boy it was so sudden and she was loved very much❤️. Thank you and Lennon for this video very much needed

Losing a rabbit is just as hard as losing any other companion animal. I lost one of my rabbits on may 10th of this year and I still haven't gotten over the guilt, blaming myself for her death even if it wasn't my fault. It doesn't matter that I've only had a few months with her but coming home to her lifeless body was the worst thing I've ever experienced, especially since it was my first time ever seeing something like that of my own pet/family member..
She will always be an angel to me and I really do hope I'll get to see her again someday..
It's especially difficult when you didn't get the chance to say goodbye or spend any time with them before they were taken away..
If any of you are going through the loss of a pet , there are people here for you ❤️
Thank you. We had to put our rabbit down today. She was only 2. She very quickly became very ill. She was in a lot of pain. I’m glad she is not suffering anymore.
@@Thunshot aw im so sorry. i hope you feel better
Somebody i knew had a dog with cancer and he was just laying down crying a bit and he was ofc put down and it was horrible to see.
I also saw this poor lady’s grandchild (she is the guardian of her grand kids) have an argument as she wasn’t there (she could have taken the day off school but she didn’t want to) and this girl was yelling at her crying grandma about this dog. I hated seeing that at my two bunnies had died like two weeks before.
The craziest part is I have several rescue animals and my rabbit of all my animals is the least affectionate and snuggly like my dogs but having a rabbit changes you the love I have for him is like nothing I have ever felt. I am a bit of a nut and obsessed with my animals because I want them happy every second and it gives me purpose great now I’m crying but my bun has given me so much and I feel he is my guardian angel and I worry about you honestly when Lennon time to leave this earth happens just know we all will be here for you and will share that grief as well
My rabbit died yesterday and this video helped me…Thank you !
Really needed to hear this. My little boy, Miechi, passed away 11 weeks ago shortly after turning 3 from what we suspect was a stroke. I had him since he was a baby and we used to watch your channel together during the afternoons - most of the rabbit care I learnt was from you so wanted to tell you thank you for this video and for all your work 🤍
I am sorry for your loss!
@@ARLimon74 thank you
This is going to be long, so I’m sorry I’m advance-
I lost my bunny, Patches back in September, and I’m still grieving quite a lot, I’ve heard “it’s just a bunny” enough, but to me, he was a lot more than “just” anything. Patches was my world, and I was not prepared to lose him, he was only 5, and he got killed while I was at school. I blame myself all the time because had I just told my mom I didn’t want my cousin and his dog to stay with us, it would’ve never happened.
My cousin forgot to lock his dogs kennel, and while I was at school, the dog got out, jumped into patches’s play pen that he stayed in while I wasn’t home, and killed him. I came home, my mom was crying, told me to go downstairs to his pen, there was blood, and the dog was in there, and then I found him in my cousins arms. I couldn’t believe it, I was truly in shock, and eventually it turned into anger, sadness, surprise, fear, and so many more emotions rushing into me. I picked up patches and held him in my arms for hours. My mom was home, my grandma came over, my stepdad was there, and my cousin felt bad, but was in the other room. After a while, we put together a box with his favorite things, and placed him in there, and buried him in our strawberry garden, and now he has a grave marker. A few weeks later, I ordered a stuffed animal replica, and I went pet shopping. I ended up getting two new bunnies, Cinnamon and Cece, and I’ve grown to love them just as much. And call me crazy, but I’m sure I’ve seen his ghost, and one time, his ghost seemed to say everything was alright and forgiven, and since then, I’ve been doing a lot better. I’ve seen him and heard him a few times. One morning, I woke up and saw all three of them sitting one next to the other like they were all buddies.
For clarification, the dog and my cousin moved out after what happened to patches because I couldn’t deal with seeing the dog anymore.
Thank you for this video, it also helped me, and thank you for your channel, I’ve been watching since before I even got patches. This meant a lot, and thanks for reading my story, I really appreciate it. ❤🐇
Poor little Patches, I'm so sorry that happened. You didn't know it would happen, please be kind to yourself. The loss is painful enough.
@@SabiLewSounds thank you, I appreciate your kind words :)
Oh, horrible and my condolences! ❤ That was a heavy read ):
My bunny just died most likely from eating a Schefflera plant. I was positioned in a place where I thought he can't get to. And usually when I left home, I locked bunny in a closure, but sometimes not. At the night that he got to the plant, my partner left him outside, being sure that bunny won't get there. I've been fighting with the guilt and blame over partner and the plant, but in the end - it could have been me too. The plant is also not guilty for growing the way it is (so it would be weird for me to throw it out out of anger, although I might probably do it). I dunno, maybe we just have to learn to let go both the guilt, and the blame.. Sorry, I know this is not the same situation, and I would be so angry at the dog and cousin, just thought that maybe this somehow helps ❤
@@ElinaEllere I’m very sorry for your loss, losing our little babies are so hard. It’s really important to try not to place blame, despite how hard that actually is. If when you look at that plant and think about what happened every time you see it, I would say you have every right to get rid of it.
And what you said totally helped, so thank you. Another person I can relate to is always good, makes me feel less alone :)
Sending so much love your way ❤️ Patches had a beautiful life with you. I’m sure he’s smiling right up at you at your feet, with your other babies. Lots of love sweet friend ❤️
My girl would have been 9 in September. I miss her with all my heart. When I see Lennon I think of her because they're the same age. I lost her in March last year and this video would have helped so much then. It still helps right now a little bit too.
On her 7th birthday month (I didn't know what day she was born) she got a respiratory infection that just would not go away. One afternoon in Dec 2021 she suddenly wasn't herself and was refusing to eat even treats. I rushed her to the ER and they claimed she was dehydrated and that she has diarrhea (because I haven't been able to clean her cecotrops from her bum, she had started pooping them then turning to eat them since she couldn't reach, sometimes I would help her. I couldn't butt bath her because of my disabilities. I would wipe her bum and feet with a wash cloth). She had eaten and had water that morning, she just had a weird reaction to her greens, she didn't want to eat. I tried a treat and knew something was wrong. When I couldn't pay for xrays or some other procedure they claimed was life or death (I forget which procedure it was) they said she would be fine to see her normal vet. Two days later her regular vet saw her and said she had arthritis in her back hips. They had been seeing her every few weeks for the sinus infection that wasn't quitting. This all happened about a week or two after her 1st rhdv2 vaccine. It was a week or so before her 2nd dose. I was scared to do the second. To check her lungs and her body in general because when she came back from the ER she was struggling to walk at all, they did a full body xray.
That's when my life ended. They found a strange growth in her front left paw. They did a tiny biopsy and found cells that "look like" cancer. The only way to know for sure was amputation. I felt odd about it but as you said here, I talked to her about it. My gut said wait. I had to give her time before changing her quality of life for the worse since she was already struggling to walk with all her paws. I thought about getting her a friend to help groom her and help her get by if I did amputate. She kept getting almost better from the sinus infection then as soon as the antibiotics ended she was down again. Then March 4th she suddenly collapsed unable to walk on her own. It was incredibly hard to decide what to do. I didn't want to risk her life and go to the ER knowing she maybe probably had cancer, was incredibly sick and my gut told me she wouldn't survive the anxiety of a car ride.
I used to work at a pet crematory and they serviced vet clinics as well as the general public. So because of that I knew about a hospice clinic who did in home visits. I called them and they helped me see that holding on longer was going to be the worst for her. Still because of my disabilities I felt like I gave up on her. I felt like I just quit because it seemed "too hard" since so many senior bunny owners can have disabled bunnies or special needs bunnies and do butt baths and have special things to make them comfy. I felt guilt for being in poverty and taking her into my care at all, but had I never taken her in she would have probably suffered and died like her brothers did with the people who got her and her brothers from a breeder. I wouldn't be here today. I wouldn't have found this channel.
Anyway, the clinic put her down at home and I held her hand as she fell asleep too weak to even eat a treat or even a piece of banana. Had I not made the choice and the appointment she would have suffered in pain in her last hours. Instead she was cuddled and hand fed and got water from a syringe. She was too scared to be alone even when I got up to use the bathroom or get her something she would try to follow me and couldn't walk. Thankfully the clinic moved the appointment up when she was starting to breathe heavy. She held on to the end as much as she could. I held her little paw as she closed her eyes forever. Her heart was very weak and I think she passed before they even gave her the medication that was meant to stop her heart.
I miss her every day.
I have a new emotional support bunny who needed a home as soon as she passed. I think somehow she knew he needed me because I didn't have room in my heart for a new bunny while I was worried about her.
Mom hasn't been the same since we lost her.
To anyone struggling you're not alone.
Thank you to everyone who who took the time to read my story. Thank Lennon the Bunny for all that you do. I am so scared of when we lose Lennon.
Lost my boy three days ago. Had him for 8 years, his whole life. Im so heartbroken and shattered.
As I was starting my bunny mom journey, I lost my little Judy she was very little, and she suddenly passed. I was holding her and I saw her go into shock, that day she was very friendly, wanted attention and she let me hold her. My boyfriend was there and he buried her in his garden. There are some little purple flowers that bloomed where she is buried. When I arrived home from work, my little Snowball was in her place. It was hard, but he really helped me. I like to think that I have two guardians who watch over me in my room. Snowball has given me some health scares, but thanks to you and some research on my part he has made it to 2 years. I know it will be hard when I lose him, but I will be content knowing that I loved him with all my heart ❤ thank you for your vulnerability Lorelei and for loving Lennon so much ❤
Thank you so much for making this video. My poor bunny passed a month ago due to a brain parasite. I have been struggling with guilt of how he could have gotten it and being at fault. The doctors told my family there was no way we could have prevented or known. He was only 3 and I was not ready for it because it was so sudden. Thank you for taking about this issue so openly ❤
I know what it feels like to have that kind of guilt😢many of my guinea pigs died due to causes I couldn't prevent, but the guilt and hurt never go away. So sorry for your loss💛 I'm sure you gave him a great home!!
Oh no so sorry

What a wonderful and tender video, Lorelei. It's such a difficult topic and you aced it.
I lost my beloved bunny a while back. He is now buried in the backyard with a small garden planted on his grave. As you say, I could never replace him, but I felt an obligation to his surviving best friend and to abandoned bunnies of the world, so after a grieving period, I rescued 2 new bunnies. One of them, a Flemish girl much bigger than my surviving old man, is attentive, grooming him and making him feel that things will be OK. The other is a small lop who has so much love in her heart that she reminds me of my lost bunny boy. Bless you, Lorelei for doing this video.
When my cat died I got a plushie that looked like her, honestly I miss her everyday but I adopted a new cat because I know she would want me to give me another cat a good home.
This makes me think of Pipkin and the grief his owner must have gone through.😢
My bunny passed away on Easter I woke up and found her body she was laying flat on her back our dog had accidentally gotten into the pen in our garage our dog was one two leashes the were on properly but she had still gotten off my sister’s bunny was best friends with my bunny and is still very depressed her personality has changed completely I ended up getting another bunny a week later I wasn’t ready but something told me I just had to look and I really am glad I did because I have a new best friend I will never stop loving or feeling sad about my other bunny but I’m not going to live my entire life with regret I will always love her thank you for posting this video ❤🐰
I used to watch lorelai when i had a bunny my bunny died about a year ago and i started watching lorelai to get ready before i had my bunny and while i had bunny too. I watched her to learn stuff about rabbits. Lorelai has helped me so much with my rabbit
Thank you for this. We lost our rabbit Friday. It has been really hard, but we are pulling through.😢
Sorry for your loss
🫂
We have lost 3 buns in our family the past 3 years... Eclipse we lost to skin cancer (euthanized), Comet I lost to E.Cuniculi (died at home) and Shadow (died due to unknown circumstances). All 3 were cremated and their urns are kept in special places (Eclipse on my son's desk, and my 2 with my dog's urn). I almost didn't want another bun after I lost Shadow, but our local shelter had one bunny they had just got surrendered and she seemed to get on with me pretty well. And later we found out she was a HE when he got my wife's bun pregnant! Now Storm is a daddy to little baby Bolt, who is 6 months old. We never forgot our buns, they just hop right along next to the ones we have! ❤❤❤
Despite knowing it is inevitable, it does not make it easier to handle. Losing Shen almost 2 years ago was heartbreaking. He wasn't even a year old. I mentioned on another video that he was at the vet for his neutering. I was at work, in the middle of the highest volume of calls when I heard my husband standing in the hall, stifling his tears. Trying to remain focus at work and holding back my own tears, I knew I had lost him. The moment I went onto my first break, I just let go the entire break time. Xiao Wu knew something wasn't right and did everything she could to help us feel better. I love our diva. I look at her every day, remind her how beautiful she is, and think of how she came into our lives. In fact, having all of my current bunnies are Shen's gift to me. We may not have Tu'er Shen anymore, but he is still with us. I love my rabbits through and through. Just like with any pet I have ever owned, there is only one of them and there will be no replacing them but having them is a good teaching experience and make a better life for future pets.
Thank you for talking about having a senior rabbit. Not enough pet owners talk about senior pets and the changes that you and they will go through.
My Benjamin was so sweet. One of the things I wrote in a letter to family about him was:
"This past year he has meet with some health challenges. Arthritis, some neurological issues and most recently a tumor. Through it all he improvised and adapted; through it all never giving up."
That was 2 years ago. He came into our lives a senior bunny . I miss him terribly. I did not plan on a new bun, but then I met a man looking to re-home a rabbit, and Snickers entered our lives.
He's a young rabbit, and very different from Benjamin. As I say he's a spice little cookie and so it goes. A new adventure.
So now it's us👫, 🐈🐈⬛🐈 and 🐇
Such a relief to know Lennon is OK! ❤
Pebbles is 6 years old. I really dread the thought of losing her someday. 😢
If anything happened to her, I'd go to a rescue to get another rabbit or pair out of a cage to give a better life to. 🐇 💕 I never want to live without a rabbit again. They're so precious.
Aww your bunny’s name is pebbles awww so is mine, never heard anyone having pebbles as their bunny name 😅
@@sarahmoses4837 Sweet! I haven't either. I named her that because she's white with black spots. The one in my user pic. What does your bunny look like?
I remember when I lost Billy, while I've gotten through it could never get over it fully especially Tilly my other rabbit. Rabbits are so much more loving and impactful then people think.
I usually grieve on my own, watching videos about other people grieving, cry a lot
I also own multiple pets so it gets easier faster because I still have to take care of them
I needed this, I lost my bun about 4 months ago and still grieving. I feel so much guilt and that was one of the hardest parts of the grieving process. She choked while she was eating, we got her to the vets and she was doing good on meds for her lungs and stuff but just passed unexpectedly a few days later from a seizure..
Oh nooooo
Thank you so much for this video. I just lost a 6mo rabbit boy. All my siblings were there to say goodbye until his last breath. We have our beautiful bunny girl (his sister) and luckily, she’s not showing depressed. We think maybe she didn’t understand what was happening. Still, it’s definitely something that stays with you.
Again, thank you so much for bringing this up.
Yes the same happened for us. We got a brother and sister pair. The boy rabbit got floppy bunny syndrome and died when they were a couple months old. Our girl bunny also got it but a milder case. Surviving girl bunny became my top priority and now she’s my favorite person in the world - I cannot imagine life w/o her.
I cried so much while watching this video. During the span of 3 years I lost great-grandma, dad, both granddads, uncle and 2 dogs. And while it happened 7-4 years ago I can't imagine losing my bunny. I wouldn't survive another loss. He helps me so much with mental health, I treat him as best as I can. But if this day will come I want to make tattoo of him, so I will always have him by my side ❤
I lost my dog 7 months ago. Everything you said is true. Take time grieve your pet.
Thank you for making this video . My rabbit is 11 years old.
Tha k you for making this video. I recently lost my bunny. And it hurts. But day by day is getting better. My dear Brownie with 81/2 and had cancer. Her breathing got bad literally out of no where. It is definitely hard. I’m glad I had great vets and she lived a long happy life. She got me through difficult situations. She was my emotional support rabbit. I’m just so honored I was able to have her in my life as well.
RIP Brownie “Booba” May 2015- September 2023
I had my baby boy put to sleep last may. I'm still broken and blame myself that I couldn't get him better. My bunny was my world I cry for him everyday wishing he was here
I lost my bun 2 years ago, I haven’t felt right since. I still miss him every day! 💔
I lost both of my bunnies back in May. I miss them both terribly. The oldest one I had just shy of 10 years. I'll never forget them. I cry everytime I remember they're gone from my life.
The way my heart dropped when I saw this on my feed. 😭😭😭
My first rabbit died when he was 11 years old ... I still remember the pain I felt, it was horrible .. I took a week off, I couldn't concentrate or anything else.
I still think of him these days, because we had such a strong bond ...
But the time I had with him was the best I had in my entire childhood, he helped my dealing with depression.
Only one other thing in case someone needs to read that - it's ABSOLUTELY okay to be upset about your pet's death, don't let anyone tell you otherwise! ♡
My brown mini lop Martha, we were on holiday and left her at the local rabbit boarding place. We came back from holiday and took her back and we noticed she wasnt using one of her back legs. We took her to the vet immediately and found out it was broken in 3 places. We tried to get it amputated (she was getting around fine when she wasnt using it before) but she didnt wake up from the anaesthetic. The mix of anger and grief i felt was crazy. Luckily i had a lot of friends and family to support me and i think that and Martha's companion Maude, that was what got me through. Maude hasn't really been the same since, we are trying to get her a new companion but its tricky to adopt because of the companies standards and such and the bonding (she quite a territorial rabbit).
Thank you so much for this video! A loss of a rabbit is not ever easy. Around October of 2022 I realized my bunny, Nancy, wasn't looking normal as she looked very skinny, I thought nothing of it thinking she wasn't getting enough food and that my other rabbit had been eating her food. I was going to give her time before we would look for a vet. One day I came home from school it was late at night I was spending time with my mom and we wanted to spend time with my other rabbit Loren. I went to go see my bunnies and called both their names only Loren popped up I called again for Nancy, but she didn't pop up. I looked everywhere in the big dog kennel they were in, under her hidey house, around the hidey house, in the litter box. I looked over to see she had passed away. In that moment I screamed while crying. I thought it was all my fault. My mom ran upstairs hearing me scream so I had brought Nancy to her. As there was snow on the ground we put her in a box and cut some of her fur and put in a jar to remember the beautiful fur she had. In the box we wrapped her up in some old towels, we put a fabric carrot in with her, and in her paws her favorite oxbow treat the Lollipop. The next two days I stayed home from school. As I was gone the rumor had spread that I killed my rabbit, people were laughing at my loss. While I was gone my sister thought it would help by getting me another rabbit. She drove 8 hours for me, and stayed the weekend. The next day I had went to a trunk or treat for 4-h, we brought my bunny Loren and the one my sister had gotten me. I was doing a Stranger things theme with my bunnies. I was Going to be Eleven, Loren was going to be a Demogorgon, and Nancy would be Nancy Wheeler, the character she was named after. I had it all planned out. I went to the trunk or treat dressed up with Loren and my new bunny wore Nancy's Hawkins jersey she wore for the new season. I had felt such big guilt that I had let him wear that jersey. At that trunk or treat I had been given hugs for my loss. The day I went back to school It was Halloween. That first day back at school didn't feel the best. My friend ,Andreya, had welcomed me back and took things slowly. While my other friend Shelby had the whole rumor spread with another girl that I killed my rabbit. The rest of that week I didn't want to be there. I went the whole week and my friend, Devyn, who I never really get to see had helped me she made me feel myself the weekend of my birthday. We went out and explored in my yard. She helped take care of my bunnies. Once I got over late nights of crying myself to sleep I focused on school. It was my fault I wanted to focus on school. My new bunny wasn't eating and I was too worried about my science test, I went to go take care of my bunny I saw my new bunny still all happy and stuff then once I left I came back in around 30 minutes later to see my bunny on the ground I called my sister and I had brought the bunny to my parents and we were getting ready to put him in a box and then I was feeling all guilt on how I never really got a connection with him that he wanted I wasn't all the way back after my bunny died, it was all to soon. While looking at him I was looking at his teeth and had opened his mouth a bit and saw him take a breath I called my other sister over to make sure I wasn't seeing things and we was still alive. I brought him to my mom and we did a lot of research and were looking at vets to take him to in the morning. I saw he wasn't eating at all that week. So I assumed he had GIS, so we gave him critical care but it had been too late. The next month in December I was on Christmas break, It was Christmas eve and, my mom and I were talking about taking Loren into the vet after what went through to make sure she was okay too. My dad was in our drive way trying to get our pickup out of the snow since it got stuck. A person who didn't live to far helped my dad, the person mentioned that they had a baby bunny that was frozen out in the snow, they brought the baby inside and asked my dad if we wanted a bunny. Knowing that Nancy had loved baby chicks I knew that she would have wanted me to take the baby. When we got the baby the people were talking and said that they didn't want bunnies anymore so they dumped them in their yard and now they have many rabbits roaming in their yard. They gave me some wild bird feed to give the bunny. When I got home I just dumped the bag of feed. We gave the bunny warm milk that they also mentioned. The day after Christmas we were gonna see if the baby could get an appt. with Loren. They said they were booked and if we wanted we would have to book months ahead. I let Loren see the baby, she loved him. They cuddled together and she had buried him under blankets and stuff. The day of Loren's appt. the baby bunny wouldn't eat and was very lethargic. I let him do his thing and packed for a 2 hr road trip to the nearest vet. We brought him with even though they were booked in. At the vet they checked Loren and we spoke with the vet about his issue, they looked over him and said he was eating hay in the carrier and if anything went wrong to call them. I showed them the first aid kit I had to make sure what we had so far was good. They also brought the baby bunny to the back to check his gender since we weren't sure of it. The vets were in love with the baby and just wanted to keep him. We spoke over getting Loren Spayed and the baby neutered when he was old enough. On the way home the baby was still lethargic so I cuddled him and gave him comfort. The baby had a seizure on the way home so we called the vet. They said to give him corn syrup to get his blood pressure back up. We went into town and gave him some but it was too late. I didn't want to give up on him though I stayed there with him for about an hour. To this day I miss all of my bunnies. I sit here with Loren knowing she misses them too. In February I had gotten a text that I over reacted when Nancy died. She said " Just shut the F*** Up I don't give a f* about you nor your ugly a** rabbit. Cause imagine getting offended over a lil giggle. But you know leave me the f*** alone no one even liked how obsessive you were over your rabbit. Girl stop being so sensitive about your rabbit dying, like yeah I get it died but you can't compare it to a human cause that's not the same, no one cares, I don't care so let it go. Kinda embarrassing you are making a big deal about a rabbit." And On the way home from Loren's spay I saw her outside her new home and all I wanted to do was flip her off.
Well, this Shelby character has quite the mean streak. It sounds like SHE'S the one with the obsession here ! She must come from a very mean family,where being cruel is normal. Some noticable things : it would be better for any bunnies you have if they are house rabbits,instead of out in a kennel or shed. Please don't give bird seeds to rabbits. Just the foods known to be good for them only. No cow's milk either ! There is baby animal formula that is carried at the vet's and pet supply stores. Finally, it's normal to grieve for loved ones. That can take years. And not just for people,either. And it's a good idea if you don't talk about your rabbits at school. Joins a rabbit owner's group instead. Shelby sounds like a vulgar, unpleasant person, stay away from that ' mean girl.'.
Thats so awful what you've been through but you are so unbelievably strong. It seems you have been on quite a rollercoaster and i hope that everything settles down and that it can be smooth sailing for you agin soon ❤ send my love to Loren and the other little furbaby
That girl who sent that text...yeah you can't compare a rabbit's death to a humans...humans suck,lol
This video had me crying, holding my baby after his operation. Had him since I was 12. Sometimes forever never feels like enough.
When this first came out my bunny was still here. I remember thinking that I’ll save this video but hopefully I won’t need it for years. Unfortunately my baby died unexpectedly in 1 day with my parents without me there. My baby was about to celebrate her 2nd birthday. It’s only been a day but I’m hoping that watching this video can help me learn to process my grief with her. It hurts so much
I have lost several bunnies throughout the years. I still grieve them. Not as intensely, but I cry sometimes. Like any loved one you remember the good times, and wish they were with you. I AM SO HAPPY THAT THERE ARE BUNNY LOVERS OUT THERE!!! Some people do not think that pet bunnies,gerbils,mice, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters etc...count THEY DO! Bunny love everyone!!!!❤❤❤
GOT SO SCARED OML. Im so glad lennon is okay😭
One of the hardest questions about getting a new rabbit is that, if well kept, a rabbit can live 10+ years, and we're often in a very different place now than we were 10 years ago, and will likely BE in a very different place in 10 years than we are now. Sometimes the difficult reality is that we really want another bunny, but our life chapter no longer allows for it. That's a hard thing to accept.
I lost my oldest bunny last October to cancer/E. cuniculi, he was 8 years old. He was my best friend and it was extremely devastating, but I know I did everything I could to try to save him. The morning he passed, I ran out of work (I was allowed to leave) and went to the vet where he was hospitalized to pick up his body. I then called a few people and cried with them on the phone, then I went to Michael's to pick up a box for me to design as his urn, then I went home. A friend came over and helped me take death photos of him. I laid him in my garden and picked flowers to put around his body and photographed him. I then just held him in my arms in the backyard and cried. It was a beautiful sunny day. I had family from out of state visiting at the time, so I took him with me to my aunt's house in another town and I kept his body in my car. I then went to a rabbit friend's house so she could say goodbye to him. Then, at 10:30pm that night, I took his body to the crematory myself, and said my goodbyes. Yes I still cried for weeks, but I have closure and I did everything I needed to do that day to help myself through it. Mourning is so personal and so important. There are no rules, you just have to allow yourself to experience it and do what you need to do to cope.
The fact that my little bunny died a few days before this video. Now I only have one bunny and I would love to get her another friend but I’m not ready. I really hope she’s gonna be okay if not I will get another bunny. This helped me. He was 4 years old, the night before he died I saw that he was breathing hardly and I thought I was just overreacting but the next morning he was already gone. I know it’s my fault, I know I should have went to the vet but it’s too late…
I’ve lost many pets over the years and it never gets any easier! I currently have two young mantises that I absolutely love,but I know their lifespan is short,and by November they will be seniors.
We’ve lost 3 rabbits over the last 10 years. 2 suddenly to stasis and one was very old and had to be put down at the age of 11. Our current 6 rabbits are all seniors ranging in age of 5 years to 12 years old. I’ve decided as they pass on in the future we’re just gonna go back to fostering for a local bunny rescue. We fostered over 50 rabbits in the past for the Humane Society of Minnesota. I can think of no better way to honor my buns that have past by helping saves the lives of other bunnies.
I got so scared by the title. Wishing many more years for Lennon! And yes unfortunately that is a part of life, that's why I cherish everyday with my bunny Hopsin 🥰 He makes everyday memorable. Love to all you bunny lovers ❤
I totally understand how your friend felt. We lost our sweet Kaze at the end of October after fighting three days in the ICU. I think I new all along I was going to have to make that choice but I wanted to fight for him. We fostered to adopt a new friend for his partner in mid-December, and while it as so hard for us, we saw how necessary it was for her. But it was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through, and still have days where I sit and have a good cry. For me, having lost many family members over the years, this loss hurt the most. Thank you for this video. Despite it being several months I think I still needed to hear this ❤️
I also came to the realization that loosing the pet, whom I've spent my everyday life with for almost 5 years, hurt much more than loosing a family member (well, true, whom I didn't see for half a year before death). And the fighting for life adds to the pot - hope, and then disappointment, and then acceptance of the decision. My condolences ❤
My rabbit is well, blind, she really used to struggle since one day she was in her outdoor enclosure we were going to pick her up to take her back inside our house she poked her eye, and I said do NOT take her to the vet they will put her down because they may have thought she was in too much pain , while I was at collage my mum decided to get eye drops for infected eyes since her eye was more infected, so we used the eye drops (human ones) and it worked, yes her eye is a bit foggy, shes not in pain and she is now well and happy, this was actually a couple days after her companion died from something to do with her brain/head on my birthday, my current rabbit made it through all of this, and I think that my rabbit is finally all well so far so even if your struggling there is always a way all of your bunnies and animals are important ❤ x
I do appreciate that Exotic veterinary center in Pasadena allows the owner in the room when you're pet bun is departing. It hurts to see but for closure. I'm wary of the clinics that don't allow the owner in the room when.. ..RIP Napoleon, Hershey Bubbles, Lady Alice and Pretty may our time apart be temporary ❤️
Thank you, I recently lost my bunny Willow on June 16th of this year and it’s been so hard and I’m trying to be okay. ❤
I don't have a rabbit myself (would love to hopefully get one someday), but I watch your videos to mainly help with my boyfriend's brothers rabbit. He only turned about a year old recently, but it's still nice to get some insight. My cat passed away 3 years ago and it's been absolutely rough even now because that period of my life was hard in general. Thank you so much for the work you do
Omg I thought it was Lennon! Whew…. We love Lennon
Literally cried at this video, so emotional, glad lennon is doing well
That letter...😢
This really opened my mind to understand what people go through in loss of pets, thank you for that. So much compassion for the losses people go through and of course fear for what might happen. All we can do is give our best care to our loved ones❤ give them the best life we can
I honestly dread this day 😢
My rabbit toffee just passed this morning and it has been the worst day of my life. It has been so hard on me and my family and we jus miss him so much. We love him and know it was the best thing for him but we really do miss him so so much so I’m very grateful for this video ❤
Thank you, one of my beloved bunnies died yesterday. It's been so difficult.
I've never experienced this kind of heightened emotion until I owned bunnies. I cried every time I got a bunny and of course I cried every time one died.
I'm not sure why but bunnies bring out really intense emotions in me. I become so overwhelmed whenever I bring a new bunny home... But I adore rabbits. They are the weirdest little critters.
The guilt is so intense with rabbit deaths. I just try to tell myself that with every loss I'm now a better bunny owner. I learn and I know what to do next time, but sometimes I think that I really shouldn't adopt anymore. I feel like I'm not worthy of caring for such special and fragile animals.
I feel the same way with the guilt. My bunny was only four and passed unexpectedly when I was on vacation. We still don’t know why and I just can’t help but wonder if I did something wrong. I am so worried about my other bunny now too
@@RandomImaginHtion I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong. You weren't even there to go something wrong... But I get it. The questions are never ending when it comes to bunny care. And yes, I too have been extra worried about my surviving bun. I've been smothering him with attention. I don't even put him away at night anymore because I'm afraid to have him in another room.
I think once I have a little more time to grieve I'll be ok and way less stressed about my other bunny.
I'm sorry you lost your bunny! 4 years old is too young to go but also they are just so dang fragile and great at hiding it. Sometimes shit just happens with bunnies 😭
@@Zullala thank you. Your kind words really helped me. To be honest I don’t even know what to say right now. I am at a loss for words. All I know is that it hurts
I couldnt watch this video months ago. But my 4 yr old bunny passed unexpectedly from EC a few days ago and this is helpful. Thankyou
I appreciate this post it helps me feel a little less sad about my bunny Tater tot who I love with all my heart you’re awesome love to u and Lennon ❤
My rabbit had to be euthanized when he was 7. He had a brain tumor that was causing him lots of pain. He must’ve had it since he was around 4 or 5 and it slipped passed me. Rabbits are very good had hiding their pain, and knowing that, all I can do is look back on what I thought was just behavior caused by his blindness/glaucoma and realize it was actually the tumor. Every day, I think about him. Every day, I miss him and imagine him there with me. The first few nights after he passed, I slept with a metal rabbit statue wrapped in a blanket to help ease my pain. He passed October 20th 2022. I wish I just realized sooner what was going on but I just couldn’t. He still did binkies, he still ate and drank, he still wanted me to hold him and cuddle with him.. I wasn’t allowed to hold him in his final moments because of how frantic I was. I regret that. Anyone who’s been in my position, I hope and wish you all the best. Yes it’s going to be hard, yes there will be many sleepless nights, yes there will be people who will tell you, “But it’s just a rabbit.” But it’s never just a rabbit. Pets are the most loyal family you can have. The only thing comforting me about Thumper’s passing is knowing he is no longer suffering..
I'm sorry for your loss.
Some recent research has concluded that our relationships with our pets can me just as--and even more--intense than our relationships with other humans. It's never "just a rabbit/dog/cat/horse/chicken etc."
I lost my first bunny back in August last year, when we took him in to get his teeth trimmed and his heart gave out from the anesthesia. He’d been put under before, many times, because he was sick most of his life. The fact he lived to be nine years old at all is probably a miracle. But god, I miss him. I can’t watch this entire video right now because it’s killing me, remembering. We have a new bunny now, but I’m still not okay. I’m just not. My therapist said she thought I might have ptsd from his death. And I just… I’ve grieved people and pets before. But none of it hurt like this.
Kudos to you for making this video, and for being there for your friend. My cousin was there for my family when we put our childhood dog down, and even though we’re not close, I’ll always be grateful for that.
I’ll return to this video and watch the rest when I can handle it. But it’s such an important video. Thank you for sharing the letter from the vet, too, although it drove me to tears. Also, I’m so glad Lennon is okay. The video title made me terrified for her.
My rabbit Fluffy had to be put down last month and it was genuinely the worst. I never considered the fact that she will have to go one day because she was so healthy and then suddenly she had health problems. She lived a good 10 years and she was a free roam in our garden, it has been hard for me to hang out in my garden because all I think about is her.
i bought my bunny 2021, july 16th and i had him over an year till October 2022 he passed away from GI stasis, and till then i've struggled with guilt and I've lost myself. Its a very difficult process. Thank you for making this video i bet this helped your fans and other people who are going through the same to heal from there pet deaths.
i also forgot to mention when i got bombon i did my research, i even came across some of your videos when you got lennon as a baby and how she helped you with your depression process, i just gotta say thank you for your support and empathy to save these bunnies and bunny owners.
I got my bunny in 2021 February and she died in 2023 she died in June her name was also bonbon❤@@dojinsanae5266
I’m sorry for anyone who is in grief as I am. I lost my rabbit this morning, I feel the guilt of not being there at 2am and it hurts to have to go through a big change in my life but I know he’s in a better place and had live a happy 11 years of life with us. may my bunbun rest in heaven.🥺🫶
on saturday, our special needs bunny phoebe was put to sleep. she had many issues, and was going downhill fast. she was only 4-5 years old, still with many debilitating issues. we are broken. you nevery know how much time you have. we thought had more.
I remember when we lost our first rabbit, Sylvi, I was traumatized, just being a little kid. My dad had said he'd never seen me cry so much. We planted a weeping willow sapling over her in our backyard in her honor, and since then it's grown into a colossal beautiful tree 💚
When my Ozzy passed away, it hit me super hard. He was bonded to me like Lennon is to you. He passed away while the vet was trying to save him overnight, so I didn’t get to be with him in the end. It will be 10 years in August and still hurts to think about. When my Sophie passed this past April, she got sick while I was on a cruise. I spent the 2nd half of my cruise worried about her. I missed saying goodbye to her and being there for her in the end by about an hour. It hurt a lot, but I had my bunny Lulu to think about. He has a big heart and I knew I had to put his needs first and help him find a new friend. It actually made it hurt less because my energy was so focused on him. A part of me wants to say that Lulu and Drew Bunnymore will be my last 2 bunnies, the losses hurt so much, but I know with so many bunnies in need a loving home. I’ll probably always have at least one.
My bunny Hope died today at age 8+ in the vets office. She lost her ability to walk 3 weeks ago and today she wasn't eating and looks tired and breathing difficult. We went to the vet and she just died while receiving oxygen.
Thank you for making this video, I’m in the same boat with a senior bunny and I lose sleep thinking about it
