In Memory of Mr. Rabbit


I have never expected that my blog would start off with a sad note. Mr. Rabbit (aka "Ah Bad"), our family's 12-year old rabbit, passed away on Sunday.

Originally I planned to bring Mr. Rabbit to the vet this weekend, so I called the vet office on Sat morning only to find out that Dr. Alkesh, the rabbit expert, won't be back to the office til Tuesday...too bad Ah Bad didn't made it.

He had long been considered a family member but I didn't fully realize how much he had became part of my daily live until he's gone. For example, I am so used to peeking at his cage whenever I pass the laundry room that I'm even doing it after he's gone. Soon after catching myself doing this, I cleaned up his cage and stored it away in the basement. Hopefully this will help me and my parents to cope with the lost. For sure it hurts to stare at the empty cage...

A big thank you to Czar's mom, Olivia and Randy, who drove me to the vet on Sunday, for sure I was in no condition to drive that day.

A comforting thought is that he did have his favourite sneak a few hours before his "departure".

I also like Schola's idea that "Ah Bad is probably happily munching Shreddies in another world".

Thank you mytabo.
We'll bring Mr. Rabbit's ashes back today, it'd probably have 舍利子 in it since he was such a wise rabbit.
