Rachel The Rabbit

[poliphilo]

Rachel the rabbit had a stroke or a seizure and lost the use of her legs and had to be put to sleep.

Oh.

We weren't expecting this.

We'd had her about 10 months,  she came to us from a rescue centre and must have been about 5 years old. 

Tosh has been going from room to room,  looking for her. 

And now he's sitting by my chair. He needs the company. I reach down and tickle his nose.

Thank you.

I love that line from Richard Adams. It has a lovely, mythic touch.

"My heart has joined the Thousand, for my friend stopped running today." Richard Adams.

Ah yes, I thought of this quote as soon as I read your Bad news. I am so very sorry for your loss. And glad that Tosh has YOU to keep him company now. I hope you can find another friend for Tosh (not a replacement, just another friend)

These kinds of things are never easy.

We're going to an animal sanctuary this afternoon to look at rabbits.

Ailz has her heart set on a black, lopped-eared female.
