Eleanor's bunny, Sammy, died on Monday. We're all so upset. It was only February when his brother, Monty, died. Even Archie seems to be missing him, well, both of them. When he goes in the garden he looks for them, but of course they're not there.
RIP beautiful bunny.
So very sorry to hear about Sammy. Thinking of you all. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you. He'll be missed very much.
DeleteHow sad. I'm sure that you'll remember him with fondness and a smile. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteWe definitely will. Both he and Monty have been wonderful pets.
DeleteHope Eleanor's ok?
ReplyDeleteShe's fine, thank you. Although we're all very sad, both Daniel and Eleanor have had quite a few pets over the years and though it doesn't get any easier when we lose one of them, especially when we've had them for a long time, it's a sad fact of life. We've all shed a few tears though.
DeleteHow sad, do bunnies have a long life span?
ReplyDeleteSammy and Monty were brothers and were both seven when they died. I've read that the average age is between six and eight, then read somewhere else that the average age is between eight and ten, but I know of rabbits that have lived a much longer life than that even, so I'm not totally sure.
DeleteOh, poor Sammy. I'm sorry. It's never easy to lose a pet. I'm sure he must have missed his brother. Now they're together in bunny heaven.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's so hard when we lose a much loved pet, it never gets any easier. I do hope that Sammy and Monty are reunited in bunny heaven, that's a lovely thought.
DeleteI'm so very sorry to read this sad news about Sammy. Sending you all lots of love.

Thank you. It was a bit of a shock to be honest as he seemed so healthy. He'd only been to the vet's at the beginning of the month for his annual health check and booster jab and the vet said he was looking really good for his age. At least he didn't suffer.
DeleteIt is always sad to loose a pet, I am sorry Sammy has died. He looks like a fine bunny in these photos, I bet he had a great life with you.x
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'd like to think that he had a good life with us, we certainly tried to look after him the best we possibly could. He was such a lovely bunny.
DeleteSo sorry to hear about Sammy. It's so sad to lose a pet, but when it's out of the blue it's just awful. Both of your buns were absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was such a shock, we wasn't expecting anything to happen to him as he seemed in such good health, sometimes you just never know, but at least he didn't suffer which I'm glad about. They'll both be very sadly missed.
DeleteHugs coming your way from me.

Thank you. It's always so sad when a much loved pet dies.
DeleteIt's so sad to lose a pet - people who don't have pets can't understand that a pet is one of the family!
ReplyDeleteI cried when the hamster died. I don't care what type of animal it is, if you take it on as a pet then you care for it and it becomes a part of the family. As you say, pet owners understand this but many other people don't. We'll all miss our bunnies very much, they were very much loved.
Deleteour pets become so special to us, I am thinking of you all, xxxxx
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's such a terrible time when anything happens to our pets.
DeleteI'm so sorry, Jo. Hugs from me to all of you.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's always such a sad time when a much loved pet dies.
DeleteSo sorry to read this news Jo ... it will be a time of sadness, adjustment but many fond memories too. Many years back when our family rabbit 'Honey' died, losing her did affect all family members and still to this day it is so lovely to be able to look at some old photo's and remember her and those happy times. We all - even rabbits have our own personality. RIP Sammy
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you. You're so right, even pets have their own little personalities. Sammy was so different to Monty even though they were brothers, both wonderful in their own way though. We have lots of lovely photos of them both and we'll always remember the happy times we spent with them.
DeleteSo sad to lose one of your pets and I'm sending lots of huggles to you all, including Archie. I know when we had our two cats and Flufffy passed on that Tabitha missed her so much, as did the humans. Still miss my 2 cats. Take care Jo.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think we always miss much loved pets, we still miss all those which passed away years ago, including ones from my childhood. I don't think animals are much different to us, they must miss their companions too.
DeleteAhh poor Sammy and he had done so well after his poorly foot, he will be greatly missed by you all but he will be busy catching up with Monty and finding out where the best dock leaves are kept.
ReplyDeleteI know, he was so well again after the poorly foot incident, even the vet said he was looking in great health when he saw him at the beginning of the month for his annual check up. I like to think that he's with Monty again, that makes me smile.
DeleteI'm so sorry to read this, Jo. Pets are never "just" pets and always leave a much bigger hole in your life than you expect. Sending you all much love xx
ReplyDeleteThank you. You're right, I don't think we ever realise how big an impact a pet is going to have when they first come in to our lives, it's always upsetting when anything happens to them.
DeleteOh no, what a shock for you. I am sorry, Jo. Poor Sammy, he was such a sweet bunny, It's so sad losing a pet, they become family members, don't they? xx
ReplyDeleteThank you. They do become family members, it doesn't take long for them to worm their way in to our hearts. They'll always be remembered with smiles.
DeleteSo sorry to read of your sweet bunny's passing...
ReplyDeleteNow Sammy and Monty will be together hopping about in heaven.

Thank you. It would be lovely to think that they'd found each other again in bunny heaven.
DeleteOh no. Hugs for you all. Always so sad when it's time for them to go. He'll be back with Monty though so that's a blessing. x
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think we're feeling it more because it was so soon after Monty. They were both such lovely bunnies.
