When We got our guinea pigs, we knew that the rabbit was getting old. But dear old bella was tough as boots and kept going strong for the last 6 months, so it's been a lot of cages at our home! But she had been slowing down and her eyes have been getting worse. And yesterday her hind legs gave out and she couldn't walk. So we Brought her inside for the night (good thing as it was -3 this morning!) and kept her warm and snug. She was eating and drinking fine, but quite unable to walk. The guinea pigs thought this was very interesting, going to the corner where her cage was and poking their heads out at her!
This morning we took her into the vet, where we all agreed the kindest thing would be to let her go to sleep and be with misty, as she otherwise would get worse and worse. Poor Kate. She cried her wee eyes out. Jaimee kind of laughed, pleased she no longer had to clean out her cage or feed her. Luke didn't really get it, making faces for the camera.
As my mums cousin said" Kate is the typical middle child... one with the kindest soft heart. Oldest is practical / pragmatic, youngest is carefree.: "
Wow they so lived up to that stereotype today! The vet was Lovely, we stayed while bella drifted off which was only a minute or so. Bella was put in a lovely white box with her name on it, and wth a fresh bunch of daffodils.
We talked about grandad looking after our happy bunnies in heaven, hopping happily together again.
Finally our pets equal the number of people in the house....No new ones this time !!!!
