Sad News =:(
Despite everything George has tried, Misty hasn't got any better so a decision has had to be made. They will be bringing him home at around 1.30pm where he will be put to sleep, so I can lay him to rest in the back garden as all my other furred and feathered friends have been over the years.
Needless to say, this is a heartbreaking day and I'm going to miss him deeply, but I have to do what's best for him and I don't want him to suffer. He's lived to a good age despite all his tooth problems and I believe he's had a mostly happy life, though I'm certain he hasn't enjoyed being forced to take disgusting antibiotics on so many occasions.
I won't be getting another rabbit, he'd be an impossible act to follow.

He was well-loved and cared for and no one can ask for any more than that. It's hard - it's always hard - but it is the most precious thing you can do for him.
It was and I know he's at peace now. I'd hoped he would simply die of old age but sometimes that just isn't to be. Everyone did their best for him, and for that I'm grateful. I'm going to miss him though.
Do rabbits go to Rainbow Bridge with cats and dogs? I'm sure they do. Just think of him playing in the biggest, most wonderful meadow in the sky, forever eating delicious carrots and vegetables and pellets, pouncing around happily - and with perfect teeth again. Or at least being happy and at peace. :D
This image always helps me whenever I always think of my dogs that have passed away to Rainbow Bridge.
*MASSIVE HUGS*
He's in a better place now, no matter where that is, and at least he knows he's loved
Thank you *hugs tight* After 8 1/2 years it's going to be strange and empty without him.

There was nothing else to be done but grant him peace. He's better off now.

I've buried him in the garden, I'm just glad he's at peace now.
It is sad that we have to take that decision, but sometimes it is just the best for them. I did the same with my 18/year old dog who was suffering from cancer.
extra large hugs for you, my friend.
We have to do what's best for our furry friends. It was his time, I didn't want him to suffer. He's in a better place now.

He had a long and happy life and was well loved and cared for. What more could a rabbit wish for?
You made a tough decision but it was right for him and I'm sure he appreciates it as he munches his carrot in the bunny meadow in the sky. xx
I know it was the right thing to do, but that didn't make it any easier. I took a couple of photos, then spent some time just stroking and talking to him before Jess put him to sleep. He's better off now.
Thank you.
