Emotions Towards Loved Pets

For once, I'd like to talk about something... very personal to me.

 

It's so timely that I was going to greet my rabbit today. I wanted to come home with a smile and greet him with a warm tap on the back... just to find out that hours before I went home, he died. He died just 2 hours ago at 4:00pm my time. (Philippines)

 

I rarely cry... as in, I sometimes feel like my heart is a rock. I do feel emotions, but to a limited extent. I only try to display one emotion for a very long period of time. Today, I think that rock just broke. My heart sunk when hearing this news. I loved my rabbit so dearly. He stayed with me since about probably 7 years. He was very smart, hygienic, jolly, and very energetic.

 

One time, I remember my dog went inside my house and tried to kill my rabbit. Being the smart boy he is, he played dead. I was just in shock to find out that he actually survived my dog's attack. Aside from this, he also sleeps on the couch at night. He actually goes on one of the throw pillows and sleeps... He also organizes his poo and urine apparently. He goes to one corner in the house and then does that there. I've never had any problems with him, except that he broke a vase, and marked my walls.

 

If only... if only I could go back in time. I really want to hold him once more, but when I came back home just now, I found out he was buried in my backyard 6 feet underground.

 

The good times and the bad times all rolled up into that one cute furry rabbit that I loved so dearly and nearly. I sometimes felt that he was the only person in the world who could understand me. At times, when I feel frustrated, I would talk to him (seriously) and then it would seem like he would understand me because he always seems to listen and just sit right next to me.

 

I would love to have him back one last time in my life... Just one more chance would do the trick. I tried to watch some episodes of MLP right after I heard the news... but no good. This event was just too devastating to me. To lose someone that you loved as much as anyone else in the world, you find out the other time that they just pass away and never to be seen again.

 

My parents say that in heaven, he'd be there. As coming from a religious family but not necessarily that religious myself, I don't even know if that would apply to pets even. I would love to see him again - yes, but I just don't know... I feel so confused right now. I also may seem quite stupid to cry over a dead pet to some people, but I care for him like I care for a family member. I love him so.

 

Now, my life feels more than empty... meaningless even. I just hate seeing things that I love so much to be lost in life. I know that is the cycle of how things work in this accursed reality, but I just can't get over it. I would really appreciate if you could help me somehow. I really would! I'd thank you so much a thousand folds just for helping me out to get out of the dumps. But if you don't want to, that's fine. I mean, I can do it myself anyway. I do it all the time... I usually always keep my emotions to myself. It's just that today is just... different.

I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. I had a similar moment when I lost my pet mouse but you seemed to be more attached to your bunny, seven years is a really l long time, so it's just hard for me to imagine how emotional it must be for you, again I'm really sorry about your loss and I hope you get better and move on in the future.

Rest In Peace

I feel you :(

 

I suffered when my 2 dogs died, the first one died from cancer (I think I was 13 or 14) and the second one died poisoned (I was 19).

I cried both times, I could not even speak. I always feel a strong connection with animals than when I do with most people I know. It's beautiful

I was supposed to write a message for each of you, but my Internet got faulty and wasn't able to do that, so I'll just sum up what I wanted to say.

 

Thanks for all the help that you guys have given me through the support that you have shown. I really do wish that he is in a happier place and I know that I am not the only one who experienced this before. I'd just like to say thank you for everything that you have helped me with during this transition period from a life with a pet to a life without one.
