I didn’t anticipate to be writing this quite so soon. She had only just turned 4.
I found her in her cage this morning. I wrapped her in a blanket and held her. I talked to her. My dad dug a hole for her, and I gently set her in it. All I could think was that this couldn’t be happening and I was imagining it. How it couldn’t possibly be true. I have so many good memories of her, but my heart is really hurting right now.

I’m so sorry for your loss. You helped her cross peacefully and respectfully.
Binky free, indeed, sweet girl.
Oh no, Moxie.
I’m so very sorry. At least she can’t have suffered.
Binky Free, lovely ****Moxie Meadows****. You were taken all too soon.
MM, my heart sunk when I saw this. Moxie was a special BB bunny to me and so many others. I know losing a bunny, especially so unexpectedly, is difficult. Sending all of my hugs and love, don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything at all. ((((Binky Free Precious Moxie))))
Oh, Moxie. Our sweet, sweet Moxie.
I am deeply saddened by this. As LEL said, Moxie was so special to so many people here at BB. Personally, I always loved hearing updates about her. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry to hear this, how heartbreaking
Binky free dear little Moxie.
Oh (((Mox))) Im so saddened to read this. So unexpected.. I hope you are doing okay.
***Binky Free Miss Moxie Girl*** We will miss you!
Bam lit a candle for her. Here is the link: http://gratefulness.org/candle/bam-sweden/
I have also lit one for our Moxie: http://gratefulness.org/candle/jg-australia/
Oh Moxie……. my heart sunk when i saw the thread…. how can it be possible?
I know how much she meant to you. I am so very sorry.
((binky free dear Moxie))
I’m so sorry for your loss.
MM, I’m so sorry, this is so unexpected and heartbreaking. Moxie was a special BB bunny and will be missed.
Binky free, Moxie.
I’m so very sorry and saddened that you had to say goodbye to Moxie. She was obviously very special to you and here on BB as well.
((((Binky Free, Moxie)))))

I am so very sorry to hear this. How heartbreaking. I know you are in pain. I am so sorry.
Sending hugs to you as you go through this mourning period. We are here when you are able to talk about it.
Binky Free Moxie.
MM, I’m so sorry.

Thank you all for your kind words everybody, it really means a lot. It’s hard because nobody I personally know fully understands how much she meant to me. They are still in the mindset of her being “just a rabbit”.
Moxie and I went through a lot, and she will never leave my heart. Every morning, very early, Snickers would get out of bed and play with Moxie through the bars of the cage (Moxie would binky around and Snickers would run back and forth and drop her toys infront of Moxie). When Moxie heard me finally roll out of bed, she would excitedly run up to me and ring her bell, demanding food. I knew instantly something was wrong on Saturday, because when Snickers got out of bed and went to Moxie’s pen, she immediately ran back and started digging at my face, whining and crying. I got up, just hoping Snickers had to go out. I didn’t hear Moxie. I went over and I knew. I wrapped her in a blanket and held her until we hurried her. It was all such a blur. I put Moxie’s bell on a chain, and have been wearing it around my neck ever since.
I think one of the worst parts about losing a pet, is the split seconds that happen, where you forget they are gone from you. I was watching a YouTube video on my bed, and a baby started crying. I immediately lowered the volume and looked over my should to make sure Moxie wasn’t frightened. She wasn’t there. And on Sunday, I went to the store with my mother. I did the usual, and we met back up at the check out. She looks at me and goes “Why are you buying hay?”. It took every ounce of me not to start bawling my eyes out right there. I wasn’t thinking that I didn’t need hay anymore, I was so used to buying it. Whenever I enter my bedroom, I still do my greeting tongue click thing I would always do to her when I came in. My heart sinks everytime I realize what I have done.
I will post photos of her tomorrow <3
“When tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right therw inside your heart.” ❤

We (Me and Olly) are so sorry to hear the sad news, you are all in our prayers.
No animal leaves us, (Or any person,) they stay in our hearts forever.
Oh no… I am so sorry, MM.
(((Binky free, Moxie.)))
I know this is late, but I am so very sorry to hear about Moxie.
I really understand crying in the grocery store. It’s the little, daily things that bring you up short.
You always have people who understand here.
{{{{{Hugs.}}}}}
Thank you all ❤❤❤
<3 Still thinking of you.
Continued hugs MM. It is hard dealing with the after-still being used to being so attentive to your bun-but it really is a testament to how well Moxie was cared for and loved.
Omg I’ve just read
So sorry MM, be strong during this hard time <3 You know we understand so do vent and write out all that you feel like, we'll be here <3
(((( stilll sending hugs Mox ))))
Thank you all so much. It really means a lot. I almost feel that if I were to ever get another rabbit, I would be betraying Moxie. I know it sounds weird and crazy. I guess I just feel guilty for not noticing anything. It was so sudden. I checked on her and said goodnight and fed her more hay at around midnight/12:30, and when I woke up at around 7, she was just gone….
I’m so sorry ?. Guilt seems to be a universal feeling when we lose rabbits, because it often happens so fast. You probably didn’t notice anything because there was nothing to notice- it can be that sudden. I understand how it feels when you forget they are not there, and the pain when it hits you- again- that they are no longer physically with us. You obviously loved Moxie very much and took wonderful care of her- she had a great life with you. I’ll never know why some bunnies- and people- have to leave us so fast, but I suppose all we can do is hold them close in our hearts and remember the good times.
{{{{binky free Moxie}}}}
oi yeah, guilt… its a useless thing. But common feeling as Dee said. We just cannot be in control of nor responsible for everything. It’s likely too early for you to look at things this way, but if we had a choice how our rabbits pass, the way Moxie did is the most natural and peaceful really. It doesn’t make it any less painful for us. Loss is loss. But maybe keeping that in mind would help with the grief?
Another rabbit will be so lucky to have you bring it home. If you feel at any time that is something you are ready to do, it is not a betrayal of Moxie. It always helps me to think of it as a way to honor the rabbits Ive lost. Moxie would want you happy. If another rabbit would help you heal, certainly keep yourself open to the possibility. xx
If I were a rabbit, Moxie, I’d be queuing up (and beating all the other buns who turned up!!) up to get a place in your home…
OMG please get another bun when you are ready – you SO would NOT be betraying Moxie !
Steer away of ones that look like her if you prefer…. but never say never… xx
I’m so sorry for your loss): She is now resting peacefully. I just lost my two buns about 4 months ago and I know how hard it is to go through this stuff. Stay strong.

I can understand the feeling, Moxie. But another rabbit wouldn’t be a replacement. When/if you’re ready for another rabbit, it won’t replace Moxie. It doesn’t work that way. Moxie has a certain seat in your heart and that seat is taken forever. You can never replace a human or animal with another, not even if you wanted to.
A Swedish poet (Jaques Werup) once wrote the lines “I have known you, so I can never lose you”. (My own translation, someone else would probably do it better). I think those words are very accurate.
Oh no, I’m so sorry :'(
Often there’s nothing you can see or do. Rabbits are masters at hiding discomfort and sadly they have frail health at the best of times. Acute things like heart attacks are sadly all too common. Sudden and unexplained death is something every bunny owner dreads, and I’m so sorry that it happened to you.
I’m sure that Moxie would be very happy and proud if she saw you caring for another rabbit somewhere in the future. You’ve always given her all your love, why would it be a betrayal to her to give another rabbit a better life as well? We all know that rabbits are wonderful yet underappreciated pets, and that there are many who’d need an experienced owner with a big heart. If you ever feel ready for another rabbit again, please don’t let a feeling of guilt stop you from it.
Really a beautiful tribute, she looks so regal in each and every picture!
Thank you Ellie! ❤
A wonderful video, a beautiful bun that will be forever in our hearts <3
