Sweet Snowy

[Marigold2]

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I am informing everyone of the loss of my sweet Snowy. I came home last night to a bunny who was not eating and so sad looking. I have noticed that the bunnies poops were getting smaller over the last couple of days. Last night Snowy was not eating, I took her to the vet at 9:17pm, got home at 11:30. She spent the night. She had a large tumor in her stomach. The vet was not very encouraging even if the tumor was not cancer it took up a large portion of the stomach and he was not sure he could even remove it. After much thought I decided to have her put to sleep. I didn't want her to suffer. Snowy was so sweet and gentle and this tumor was big, mean and ugly. I picked her up after work and brought her body upstairs to Benny her bonded mate. We spent about an hour together, Benny kept sniffing her and then when he started to lick her I just lost it. I am of course second guessing my decision I feel I made the best choice in my head but in my heart I just want my sweet Snowy back. Here is a photo of my sweet girl. Goodbye sweet angle, a gentlier creature there never was.

I'm so sorry Snowy is gone. Please don't second guess yourself, I'm sure you did the right thing for her. She will be fine at the Rainbow Bridge until you meet again. It's so hard when you just want a beloved pet back. :( {{{hugs}}}

I am so sorry! ((hugs))

*Cries* Snowy has always been one of my favourite PT pets :(

Play hard at the bridge Sweet Snowy :(

You did the right thing, even though it hurts. Snowy is hopping around @ the bridge, and eating until she is stuffed. Remember that you will meet again, and until then she is happy @ the RB. RIP Snowy :(

I am so sorry about the loss of your beautiful Snowy girl. It is so terrible when we lose them and even feels worse when they are taken so suddenly. Even if the outlook was 100% bad and no chance at all we always second guess ourselves and think well she/he could have been the one to pull through despite everything. We are given the responsiblity to do what is right for them and you did what was best. It was better than having Snowy suffer and have you and Benny suffer with her. You did what was best. She is hopping happily at RB now with my mom's RB Bandit. Her ending was peaceful and she is perfectly healthy again. I am sure she will be watching over you and Benny and will be right by your side whenever you need her.

RIP Snowy. You are loved and missed. Remember to look in on mommy now and then and keep Benny company when he needs it ok.

Thank you my dear friends for your kind words. Yes it has been so hard, I think of her 24/7. In just a little bit Steve will go outside and bury her for me. I have found a lovely spot which I can see outside my kitchen window. As for Benny. He is so sad, so sad. Last night he growled at me for the first time ever. He is not eating his hay, or his fresh greens that I buy daily. He is only eating treats and a carrot if I hold it. This morning he finally ate a few pellets. He is so upset. He refuses to let me hold him, which was never the case before. I have no idea how long he will be this way, how long bunnies grieve. I am looking for another bun for him. I saw on the petfinders website two bunnies in errent need of a home. They are about 100 miles away and I am not sure if the foster mom would drive that far. One sweet bun has been in foster for a year and not had one person ask about her, isn't that just too sad? As with Snowy I didn't care what the bunny looked like just that she was sweet for Benny is. And I wanted them to get along and love each other. I just want Benny to be happy. So I will start my bunny search.

Again thank you everyone for the kind words. It has helped me a great deal. Love, Monica
