        Rest in peace, little Dmitry. 

        I couldn’t sleep at all last night and now, I don’t even want to get out of bed.  There are those that have called me crazy but they’ve never loved a rabbit.  If they had a “pet” rabbit, it was a thing they never bonded with…

        To be brutally honest, I lost my baby yesterday.  There is no other way to describe him than my baby or my child.  

        In reality, and to his fellow rabbits, he was an elderly gentleman.  Gentleman was the best word to describe little Dima.

        In my own selfish view, I lost the last remaining piece of my old life back home.  The last piece that represented life when I was happy.

        I should be thankful that he made it deep into his senior years and he spent most of his time with me.  No matter what health issue he overcame, there would always be immense happiness when he recovered.  Before his paralysis, every time he decided to fly around the room or spring about, there was happiness and excitement like watching him the first time.

        His former bonded mate passed away almost 4 years ago.  She was maybe triple his size and made sure Dima knew she was the boss.  I asked my husband if he thought Bianka was waiting for Dima at the Rainbow Bridge.  He said he didn’t think so.  He thought she was laying there, most likely eating, but would look over and say “Hello!”  In my silly little mind, I picture the two of them catching up on everything.  I picture Dima hopping around like he wasn’t able to after his injury.

        I tried to give him the best care that I could.  I loved him with all my heart.  Sometimes, I tell myself that it was “meant to be” that if he stayed in his previous inexperienced rabbit home, he wouldn’t have seen his senior years.  He was a special needs bunny and I hope I made him comfortable.  We always think what we could have done better and there are always regrets.  

        I tell myself that it was simply his time and he let us know.  He did it as quiet and stoic as his little gentleman personality would let him.

        Still heartbroken and sad but knowing that Dima is not suffering anymore.

          Dima sounds like the gentlest man.. I read some of your post regarding his injury. I deeply respect your love and concern for him. You did so much for him. And Dima was a true fighter. I am ten times larger than him in size yet cannot sustain an injury like he did.

          Little Dima, I hope you hop your heart out with Bianka in the Rainbow Bridge <3 ;__;

            Hugs to you! Dima fought the good fight and was so lucky to have such an incredible owner. I’ve been touched by his story and by you as such a loving owner.

            I know it’s hard and really, in my opinion, losing a senior is the toughest because you’ve spent so much time loving and caring for them that it makes it even harder to lose them.

            I know Bianka will be waiting for Dima at the Bridge :~)

                I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m so glad he had you.

                I’m sure Bianka will be happy to share her heavenly hay with him. May they forever binky free together.

                  As you know, I was following your thread earlier. Dima was definitely a fighter. He fought hard and held on for as long as he could. I’m glad he was able to be in your life for so long. It sounds like you both needed each other. I’m sure Dima is happily bounding about now, excited to have his legs again. Don’t be sad for him. Celebrate his life and all the joy that he brought you. He was a very special bunny indeed.

                    I saw this thread earlier, but I couldn’t bring myself to post. BelarusianBunny, I am so sorry. Dima was such a special little boy, he was such a fighter. You made his life the best any bunny could wish for, and even with all he went though he seemed so happy with you. Sending tons of hugs and vibes.
