    More bad news !!!

    As some of you may know, I had to get my cat put to sleep about 5 weeks ago cos he had cancer. A couple of weeks later I came across a rabbit (Fester) someone had dumped him (everyone said it was fate). I was wary about taking him in cos I've got another cat Bonnie and I didn't know how she would get on with him but as things went the pair of them seemed to be able to live together.
    I took loads of advice as to whether Fester should be snipped and he was booked in this morning for the big op, things didn't go as planned and he passed away under anaestetic (which I'm told is extremely common). As you can imagine I'm going through the guilt trip again, asking myself why I had to put him through it in the first place etc etc.
    Just thought I'd update you all and let you know I'm back down to a 1 pet family again and as you can imagine Bonnie will again be spoiled rotten over the next few weeks !!

    I'm so sorry. You have suffered too much loss in recent weeks. I still believe you did the right thing, I'm just sorry that Fester didn't make it.

    Rest in Peace, sweet Fester.

    I am so sorry to hear about Fester. He must have had a heart condition

    But I am sure he was very glad he had met you.

    I'm so sorry about beautiful Fester. You must feel dreadful tonight.

    I wonder whether those folk who dumped him knew there was a problem? Please try to be glad you found him though. You gave him a lovely home for a few weeks, and that was better than the alternative for him.

    Loads of hugs to you and Bonnie.

    I am sorry to hear about Fester. He was probably in poor health, but he had your love and care for his last days. I'm sure Bonnie will be a great comfort to you now.

    Oh Sqwelch, I'm so sorry for your loss. Please don't feel guilty because you were being responsible. Hugs to you. RIP dear Fester and bunny hop your life away at the RB.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    So sorry to hear about your loss. Fester knows you loved him and you would never intentionally hurt him. You gave him love and hapiness in the short time he was with you.

    I'm so sorry to hear about Fester's passing. At least he felt loved before he went to Rainbow Bridge. After some time has passed you may want to think about adopting another furkid for Bonnie. Please take care. RIP sweet Fester.
