I lost Apple today

[Blossom]

Apple was my giant holland lop that I loved with all my heart. I feel so awful that I couldn’t be there for her when she passed. I had come home from work and found that she had passed in her sleep. I hope she didn’t feel alone and that she knew that I loved her so much. It’s so weird to see the cage empty and the silence is even worse. I won’t ever get to hear her nibbling on food, gulping water from her bottle, the sound of her paws as she runs around my room at 2 am or her tooth purring ever again. I won’t get to lay down on the floor again and let her head rest on my shoulder while I pet her, i wont get to see her get so excited for food or treats, and what hurts the most is that I don’t have anything to come home to now. Every time i come into my room i would go BUNNY!!! and she would instantly perk up and run to greet me but tonight there was no response. I can’t stop crying every time i look at that empty cage.

I’m so sorry you lost Apple. It seems she went peacefully in her sleep, which is a blessing of sorts.

It’s very hard. All those little things. The sound of their feet when they run across the floor. The twitching nose, the softness of their fur when they come and put their head in your hand.

Apple was lucky to have you. Not all buns get to be so loved.

Binky free, Apple 💔

Hold on to those beautiful memories of Apple — think of them often.  It is what I do every day after losing Bonny.  I never want to lose the “vivid” memories I have of her.  A Rainbow Bridge angel took my sweet, precious, loving, intelligent baby girl on 6/23 when the vet lost her during sedation for a molar trim.  There is not a day yet that I am unable to control the tears — I just want her back.  I think of all of those same, beautiful memories you have of Apple and they can now make me smile, followed by tears for want of her.  The void will be palpable for some time — because you love her with all of your heart.  In time, God softens the pain.  A piece of your heart will always belong to her and the memories of her love for you — and you for her — will remain forever.

The same day that we lost Bonny, my husband removed her cage from our bedroom.  At first, I was not happy about this, but I realize that this is the advice that is typically given.  This empty space was TOO hard for me to handle when entering our room.  I purchased a console table and placed it where my precious baby’s cage sat.  The table is now full of Bonny pictures for this space.  Although Bonny was a roam-free bunny her entire life, she used the cage to drink her water, eat her pellets and go to the bathroom.  There was no door on her cage. For her hay and veggies, we had a 12×12 piece of carpet outside of her cage that we used for her muching/foraging.

I am so very sorry for your loss.  Truly, Apple was very lucky to have a mama that gave her so much love.
