  Oh my god why.
  
  That’s all I’ve been able to choke out since the incident.
  
  Around noon today, I let my rabbit out in the pen I have for my rabbits; the new one, Fabio. The little eight-week-old lionhead.
  
  I put him in his pen and went to help plant flowers and herbs. I turned around, and somehow, the pitbull had gotten into the cage.
  
  I wish he would have killed him. I wish. I just wish so much. Then maybe he wouldn’t be spending the night cold and alone, and die of hunger or thirst.
  
  We thrust open the pen door and dragged the deaf dog off of him, all the while he was screaming. That’s the last I heard of him before he shot out of the pen as we were taking the dog out.
  
  He was somehow small enough to fit through our fence, and I haven’t seen him since. We’ve put his cage out there, with his food and water, but I know he’s not coming back. It’s night time, and all I can think about is how tonight he’s cold and alone, maybe wondering why I let such a thing happen to him.
  
  I’ve been wailing and sobbing and shrieking all day, shouting out things like “Why?!” and “Oh my god…” and “Please, please, come back” and “I’m so sorry I am so so sorry.” I am in tears as I type.
  
  I doubt he’ll last long out there, and I hope a predator takes him out swiftly. I miss him so much and I wish I had more time with him.
  
  I’ve only had the death of two family members when I was young, and pets when I was young. This loss has hit me harder than anything ever. I feel like I’m dying and that it’ll never go away.

  It will never go away… but that means you love him. One day you WILL see him again in Heaven and you will NEVER have to worry about losing him again.

  Two of mine got out once, and I was sure they were gone, but they hadn’t left the yard. Try putting some food in a few places around the yard…maybe a little oatmeal or some fruit. It’s possible he might be closer than you think…

  Oh no! That is really distressing. I hope your little Fabio will be free from pain quickly or that he does make his way home.
  Something similar happened to my bunny Marshmallow (white netherland dwarf with pink eyes).
  I had him since I was eight, and he was wonderful. I had a little toy pram that he used to push him around the garden in and he liked that. He also went on the trampoline with me and had fun… He was a fearless little dude. But when he was four years old and I was twelve; one morning there was a big hole ripped in the mesh of his hutch, and clumps of his white fluff everywhere, and he was gone!! I remember telling my friends about it, and they didn’t understand but talking helped me feel better too.
  I used to dream that he actually escaped the predator, found a wild girl and built a family of little marshmallows… Dreaming of a happy future for your pet does actually help, even if your head tells you it’s completely unrealistic!
  It’s been four years since Marshmallow was taken, but I’m extremely excited that I’m getting another bun in a week or two!!
  
  Hugs
