We lost our 2 year old rabbit, Cobbles the bunny rabbit on Sunday 9/11/2005. My fiancé, Brian, went downstairs to work out and found Cobbles already dead. I don’t understand it and it doesn’t make sense. I checked on both rabbits the night before and both were hoping around and eating. And then on Sunday morning Cobbles was gone. I don’t get it. I am REALLY upset about it. He was my kissy boy, he loved to be cuddled, and loved giving kisses. He was so sweet and lovable. It is hard because I really miss Cobbles. It’s hard since he was only 2 years old. He died alone, do you know how bad that makes me feel? I didn’t even get to say goodbye and tell him how much I loved him. Why did this have to happen? Cobbles was too young, he barely had time to enjoy life. I just want one more day with Cobbles. I keep blaming myself for doing something wrong. Brian and I buried Cobbles in his blanket. It was REALLY hard; I have never had to bury one of my own pets before. Then I had to clean out his cage which was also really hard to do. I think Pebbles, my other rabbit, is really upset that her friend is gone too….Pebbles isn’t as interested in treats, she doesn’t give me kisses; she just wants to lie in my lap. That is so not like Pebbles…

On top of it I am getting married on October 15, 2005. So on Saturday my sister is throwing me a bridal shower, and I am not really looking forward to it. How can I have any fun when I feel like everything has a dark cloud over it? I was Cobbles back…. Just one day to feel his velvety soft fur again, and tell him that I love him. I just want to hold him again! This is the hardest thing that I have had to go through.

I am so sorry for your loss of Cobbles. Its hard when you lose a pet... but doubly hard when it happens unexpectedly. My beutiful Odin was only three when he passed away. It was something that I wasnt expecting. And like you are probably now, I was upset beyond belief. You shouldn't blame yourself though. Its always easier to blame ourselves when unexpected things like this happen. Give yourself time to grieve and mourn his loss. Give Pebbles her time as well. You both have suffered a great loss. Just take it day by day. It will get easier.

Take Care,
Cynthia

Such a sweet picture of Cobbles. I'm so sorry you lost him. I know how you feel about him dying alone. I came home from work a month ago to find my little sweetness, Spicey dead. I knew she had congestive heart failure but she was doing well. It was a total shock and I too felt guilty that I wasn't there but I figure she died peacefully in her sleep and she knew I loved her. the same way I am sure Cobbles knows how much you love and miss him.
Just take your time and send your messages of love out into the universe, I'm sure his spirit will hear you. It's been a month and I still talk to her daily to let her know that I love her and miss her and that will never change.
Hugs...

Cobbles was so very cute. I know you and your fiance and Pebbles must miss him terribly. I'm so sorry for the loss all of you are feeling right now.

Even though Cobbles was only 2 years old it sounds like he gave you, and you gave him, more than a life time full of love. In time you'll find comfort in all your wonderful memories of him. For now, be gentle with yourself and allow yourself the time and space you neen to grieve.

Hugs,
Kathleen

Thank you everyone who responded. I am still having a very difficult time. Pebbles and I miss Cobbles very much. I think Pebbles is starting to accept that she is the only bunny left. She licked my whole face this morning which is something she hasn't done since Cobbles has been gone. It's so hard to look at where Cobbles cage used to be. I feel like when Cobbles died a part of me died with him.

I have my bridal party and bacholorette party tomorrow. I talked to my sister about it yesterday and she said the bacholorette party can be scaled down so i can come home early enough to spend some time with Pebbles. Pebbles need the extra cuddles with me lately. I feel like i shouldn't be having fun tomorrow, i should be grieving for my baby boy, Cobbles. I miss him terribly. I got a sympathy card from my aunt yesterday, and cried for an hour. I didn't think it would hurt this bad. I love my Cobbles, why did this have to happen. Cobbles was only 2 years old, why did he have to die? He was too young. He needed to be with us longer. I miss you Cobbles.

Sincerely,

Heather, Cobbles mom.

I miss Cobbles so much, i honestly feel like I want to die so I can be with him. I love Cobbles (and his friend Pebbles, who is still living) more than anything in the world. I just don't get it. Why did he have to die? I want him back. When Cobbles died i feel like part of me died as well. I want to be there for my Pebbles too, as she is suffering some anxiety from his loss as well, but I have no energy to do anything. I just want my boy back. He was too young to die. I am trying to be there for Pebbles, but all i do is cry in her fur, because i keep thinking about Cobbles. I miss Cobbles so much my heart aches. I keep crying every day, and people keep telling me that it will get easier? I doubt it. I want my boy back!!!!!!

I can't stop looking at pictures of him. I feel like I have to have all his pictures by me at all times. This can create some hassle carrying them back and forth to work, plus people at work think i am crazy. And last night when I went outside, i looked for him and then got dissappointed when Cobbles didn't come to me. I don't understand that either. I know he is gone, why am I looking for him? I never thought i would be this upset about it. I just want my boy back.

Also, I keep thinking about when i saw him and he was dead in his cage. I screamed in disbelief " COBBLES, COBBLES". And then I have running in my head too when i had to get him out of his cage and how upseting that was. And I keep thinking about when we buried him, and how much i regret not having him cremated, maybe then i wouldn't worry so much about him being cold. I don't want to remember this. Why do I remember the bad times? Why did God have to take him back? He wasn't here long enough to tell him how much i loved him and how much he meant to me.

Heather, Cobbles mom.

I miss you Cobbles, the world's best bunny rabbit.
