My bunny of ten years passed away this morning... (Patreon)

My rabbit, Oswald, has been with me since day one; he was born at my parents' home and he has always with me. He was ten years old, I'd had him for a decade, and he was very special to me.

This morning, around 4:30 AM, I awoke to the sound of him shaking in his hutch. I went over and found him already on his side. I pet him soothingly, talking sweetly to him until he passed. I'm really struggling with his loss...I know many people can't understand because rabbits aren't held to the same esteem as dogs and cats, but he was (is) my baby, and he was the sweetest boy I've ever had.

I just want to memorialize him in some way, let the world know how special and important he was to me, and to let you all know that I'm feeling very down. I apologize, but I'll be taking a day or two to grieve and focus on cleaning his hutch and packing away his things.
