I have had my rabbits, Millie and Rosie for five anda half years and I love them so so much. They went to the vet today for a check up. Rosie has uterine cance, in a couple of months it will be just Millie. I am crying but no more tears are coming out. She was so lively and bubbly and now there is no change except for a lump the size of an egg inside her, and a shortened life expectancy. I feel so sorry for Rosie, it is my fault that she wasn't spayed younger, and I have now shortened her life.


They are sisters, and find great comfort in eachother... When Rosie goes, I don't know what Millie will do. They are a part of the garden, a part of my life, and the fact that I am going to lose Rosie within the next few months and there is nothing anyone can do about it is so out of the blue and so upsetting. I have been distraught all day. I don't know what I will do, I love her so much.




I doubt anyone would remember me, but I'd feel like I was doing Rosie an injustice if I didn't say this.


She's shown no signs of deterioration for the past year, though I know she's been ill. Yesterday she was fine. Today she was bloated, slow, apathetic, and I cried. We had Rosie put down today. I hope her little personality is happy wherever it is. I think she has left some of her personality in Millie, and in the flowers she has munched, and she has left some in all the places she has been in the house and in the garden. She is buried in a shoebox filled with hay, with a photo of Millie, in her favourite spot to sit, under the bush by the greenhouse. To say I will miss her would be an understatement. I hope she has had a happy life, it's been the best life I could have given her. I love you Rosie.
