Rest in peace, sweet Spock. I will never forget your gentle nature, demand for headrubs, happy binkies all over the house, and insistence that you be allowed to have a sip of beer on lazy weekend afternoons. Thank you for the lovely sons and daughters you provided us with and for being a wonderful ambassador to the Harlequin breed.
I always said that raising animals wasn't for the faint of heart and it is times like this that I am reminded of that fact. Spock fought the good fight, but was unable to best what ultimately turned out to be a fast-growing abscess or tumor in his upper jaw that grew up behind his eye. We let him go this morning and he is now buried beside my heart dog on a hill overlooking the house.
Until one has loved an animal,
a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.

Oh Lauren, I'm so sorry! Spock was a special bunny and he will be greatly missed. <3
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting him become a part of our family for these years. :)
DeleteSo sorry for your loss. :( It sounds like Spock had many great years with you.
ReplyDeleteThank you. He was an awesome dude and we miss him, but fortunately he lives on in his kits. <3
