The Passing of an Animal Friend

Rest in Peace Humbug Bunny Maynard - Passed 2:50pm Thursday 8th January 2009

The last two days have been exceptionally tough days for me. I came home yesterday to find my black and white Dutch Rabbit Humbug looking very sick and behaving very strangely. This resulted in her and I running off to the Vets after she lost most of her body weight in only a few days. The vet took her in over night and gave her some emergency care. As it turned out the poor girl had been hiding a golf ball sized tumour in her gut area. The vet gave me several options but laid it on the line and said the best thing I could do was put her to sleep. Which is what happened this afternoon. I held humbug and comforted her while the vet put her to sleep. It was all very peaceful and she went very quickly.

She was my bunny and I’d had her since she was a very young bunny I loved her and I will sorely miss her. I think that’s pretty much it for me and animals. There are Humbug’s two Guinea Pigs left now and I’m trying to decide if I am going to re-home them or keep them. I think I’ll make that decision after the weekend.

P.S. Yes that was her full name as registered with the vets.
