It's comforting to know that others kiss the picture of their pet each night.... I thought I was alone.... I lost my bunny Snuffy only 5 days ago.... I miss her so much... thankyou for sharing your story x RIP Thumper and my Snuffy xx

Hi Sharran,
I don't know how long ago you left me a comment, but I just read it now, Feb 27, 2010.
I don't even know if you will see this, but I hope that you do.
Some days.. I just open my eyes and the tears come. I've come to realize that no one will ever understand and that's okay. It's actually a little sad because it just means that they have never felt the sort of love that Thumper & I shared.
Today was one of those days. I found myself missing her so very much. Then I came across your story. It was the very first time I felt like I have not lost my mind after all. I cried the whole time while reading it. Then I searched "Thumper", saw my own story and that's when I read your comment.
I am so sorry that you lost your Angel.. maybe he is playing with mine right now at the Rainbow Bridge.
My husband, who was my boyfriend when we got Thumper, and I have since got a bunny, Cocoa. He's a beautiful little boy that was being used to train a Beagle (disgraceful) and we saved him. As affectionate and loving and funny as he is.. he does not have the magic of Thumper.
I can honestly say that there is still a hole in my heart and I guess there always will be. I try to fill it with memories and love, but still after all this time.. I ask myself "WHY?" and I've come to accept that I may never have closure.
$2000 and 24 hours later, the vet handed me my baby's body in a box, after promising me that she would be okay. I did everything right, I know that.. but that question still lingers, "what if..?"
I tell myself that it hurts so much because I loved her so much, and I will take the pain any day because she was so worth it.
We know that our Thumper's would want us to be happy. So that's all we can do..live our lives and try to be the happiest we can be.
Thank you for sharing your story, it really helped me.
If you have a facebook account, my name is Denise Castorina and you can see pics of Thumper, they are the same color and look alike! And my email is Hamlet21275@hotmail.com
It was very nice to meet you Sharran!
