Rest in Peace Bella my soul bunny March 2008-5th March 2013 x
Bella my soul bunny - March 5th 2013 8534081882_4c401c5b68

I cant believe I am having to make this post, sadly my gorgeous Bella passed away peacefully late last night Crying or Very sad It was such a shock as she was doing so well but she was on burrowed time, her heart disease was incurable and so was her dental problems and arthritis. I am just so grateful that we got 5 lovely months with her since she was diagnosed back in October thanks to Fortekor and our brilliant vet John Chitty.

I don't know where to start, I've been in tears just looking through pictures but I am trying to remain calm to post this thread. Bella was one very special bunny to me, we had one very treasured bond one that I will never ever forget. She was like a little dog the way she would follow me around the garden and shed then jump up into my lap for a cuddle or her medicine, she would groom my clothes and treat me as if I were another bun Love

Bella was not only my rabbit, but she was my best friend and she has helped me through a lot just being there while I struggled with my mental health, she would always be there and be so happy to see me. Our bond was so very special, I cant explain to you how lovely it was.

We got Bella in May 2008 aged 8 weeks, she came from a farm which looking back was not the best of places but I was quite young and not very rabbit savvy
Bella my soul bunny - March 5th 2013 8534011724_201d9a5d20_c

Unfortunately as Bella reached maturity she became quite aggressive and territorial which is expected if they are not spayed and living in a 4ft hutch! I knew no different and I will never forgive myself for not researching sooner but then again things would not of turned out the way they did. I am so sorry Bella I hope you did forgive me. Then in august 2011 I came across the facebook page 'rabbits need space' and I was advised to get Bella neutered so in October of 2011 she was spayed and our bond soon blossomed from no bond to something very very special.

The night you were spayed I remember having to stay up very late as you were being very naughty and kept licking your wound but it was well worth it
Bella my soul bunny - March 5th 2013 8534085954_268b6208a1_c

Our bond from when you were spayed blossomed and you became a very very friendly loving bunny, this is Christmas 2011

After you being a lone bunny for four years I decided it was time you had some company so at the start of June 2012 I attempted to bond you into a trio with Lily and Flopsy but after a few minor scuffles I decided not to continue and that I would get you a husbun of your own.
Bella my soul bunny - March 5th 2013 8532973853_88758af212_z

So on the 6th June 2012 we went to Cottontails Rescue in Westbury and Bella got to choose a husbun of her own, she met Pickle and they got on so well it may of not been love at first sight but they were really meant to be Love this is not long after them being bonded x

Yours and Pickle's bond was as if it was made in heaven Love You loved him dearly and he loved you, I am so glad that you got the chance to have company and to be happily bonded even though you only had 9 months together but those are treasured and you made the sweetest couple. I promise you Bella that we will look after your Pickle, I promise x

No words can describe how much Bella meant to me, she was my everything. I just cant quite believe that she has gone and won't be back ever. I am so very grateful that I was able to have such a wonderful bond with her, she really was the most loving bunny in the whole world.

Oh Bella I am finding it hard to express myself, but I just want you to know that I will always love you. You are my special girl and no bunny will ever replace you, how can they? You were one unique character. my heart breaks going to the shed expecting to see your gorgeous little face all excited and bounding over to me for your medication and for a cuddle. I will miss you following me around the garden and jumping on my lap and grooming me. Im welling up now Crying or Very sad Bella I love you more than words can explain.

This is the last photo I got of you and Pickle which was taken on sunday, you looked so very well.
Bella my soul bunny - March 5th 2013 8532972929_c28b2b5a67_z

I hope now that you're pain free from your dental problems, arthritis and heart problems, binky free at the bridge my very special girl. I love you.

We are taking Bella to be cremated this evening Crying or Very sad

I am so deeply sorry that you have lost her and each time I see your thread title I am in floods of tears for you.

I'm so sorry, Jack. Although you have had five months to prepare for this day, you can never be ready when it does come. Your amazing care gave her that extra time with you, and allowed her to pass peacefully and with dignity, without distress or pain. That's about the most amazing last honour you can do for a much-loved bun. I know your heart is broken and I wish I could make it better for you. Nobody can, but we are all here whenever you need us Hugs Hugs Hugs

Bella, you were stunning and a lovely character. You will be very much missed. Binky free at the bridge Love Hugs Hugs

2 months today without you Bella my precious baby, My loving loyal special bunny. I would do anything to see you again even if it was in a dream. I miss your sweet face full of life waiting to greet me as I went into the shed. I miss you following me about and jumping on my lap for a stroke even when It was not medicine time. You were always so loving and so loyal and you treated me as another bun the way you would groom me and look out for me. I love you Bella so very much.

Exactly 2 months ago today I got the worst shock of my life seeing you fast asleep, I just could not believe it. I just could not understand. I would do absolutely anything to have you back Bella, my precious girl anything. You belong here with me and Pickle , You deserved to have more time oh why did you have to be taken so soon:cry:

There is not a day that goes by where I do not think about you and I will never forget you. Every night before I fall asleep I say a prayer and I ask how you are and to look out for you and for you to be told how much I love you. You meant the absolute world to me and you have taken a very large part of my heart which can never be refilled, It just cant ever.

I am so sorry Bella for pairing Pickle so soon, it was the most toughest decisions ever. I wanted to avoid it as much as possible but he was not destined to be on his own he need some other bunny to love but it does not mean he will forget about you. I would rather see you with my Pickle you know I would You were just far too special to your daddy and things are just not the same at all without you.

I just hope you are having a fun time up there Bella, I hope you have made many friends. I just hope you are well my sweetheart

Lots of Love daddy xx

Oh Jack I feel your pain and know how much your heart is breaking over Bella, I think sometimes when you collect or get the ashes back it's the saddest part of all as it seems so final I know I am always in tears when we get the ashes back but in a way she is back with you and will always be close. We have lost many many rabbit's over the years and it never ever get's any easier believe me Jack.

I wish I could make you hurt less but I can't I can only say I understand how you feel and send you some of these Hugs Hugs Hugs

You have nothing to apologise to Bella for - you know she would only have wanted Pickle to be happy, and you made sure that happened in the same way that you always put your buns' needs first.

I echo ^ Sparky.

It really will get easier. When Thumper died I thought my world had ended. I couldn't imagine my life without her and losing her was the worst time of my life. Of course, I still miss her every single day and I would give anything to have her back, but I've come to terms with the fact that it just isn't possible.

It's been more than a year now and gawd I still get upset, but I can also smile about her and I cherish every single memory. I'm also grateful that I was lucky enough to be her bunny mummy and that I was able to make her happy.

As for Pickle, you definitely did the right thing getting Pixie to keep him company. I was in turmoil over whether or not to get more bunnies after Thumper died but I know now that she would understand. I hope she'd also be proud that Molly and Junior are now happy and safe in her home. It's down to her awesomeness that they are here.

Keep your chin up, Jack. Take it one day at a time Hugs
