I guess life will happen, but why all at once! Tonight I noticed that my little bunny was being a little lethargic and that his cage needed changed. So Aaron took him out of his cage and we both noticed instantly that something really bad was happening to our pet. Simon couldn't straighten up, his neck was completely twisted. We called the vet right away, who wasn't available. We finally heard from the vet who explained that Simon had an infection that first got into his stomach and then attacked his brain. The doctor said there was nothing we could do, they are really sensitive to it, and they just catch it from something in the air. I held him in a dark room to keep him comfortable until it was time to hand him over to be put down. While I held him he clicked his teeth which is a sign of affection in rabbit language. I just can't believe it! I can't believe how attached I've gotten to the little guy, and just when he really starts to like me, this happens. I'll feel better eventually, I guess that's just life. I sure hope there's a bunny heaven.

Since Simon lived at my house last summer and learned to love grass and lettuce, I'm feeling sad today that he's not coming for another visit while you are in Europe. We said a prayer for you today so that you don't stay sad too long. I'm sure there is a bunny heaven!

Simon will definitely be missed. The little guy was always able to make us feel better when we held him. Maybe he got little bunny wings in his bunny heaven!
We will never catch him if he has wings! What will we do with him in the afterlife?
