I'll miss you my sweet boy

It will be one month ago this upcoming Monday that I adopted Edward from the pound. Unfortunately he has already left me.Things were going so good. He was picking up weight and adjusting well to his new home. He was one of the sweetest animals I have ever had. Then Friday when I got home from work I found him dead. I turned around and brought him back to work to have a necropsy done. The doctor said he had pasturella pneumonia. Both of his lungs were filled with pus. He seemed fine when I saw him that morning. He ate all of his breakfst. Only a few bites were left in the cage. I feel so heart broken right now. I got birthday money from my parents this weekend. I had been planning to use it to buy Edward a new cage. Instead I spent it on an urn. I am greatful for the time we had together. And I am happy that he spent his last days as a beloved member of the family. This just seems so unfair.

Goodbye for now Edward. See you on the other side.

You and I were one of the last 2 to post on here a while ago and it was about him, I'm really sad to hear this!

I know what a shock it must have been finding him gone, when you thought he was so healthy. He certainly looked gorgeous and healthy!

I am happy I got to meet Edward, even if it was such a brief time, He's a pretty boy, reminded me so much of my girl Licorice, .

Don't be sad for too long, Edward is hopping around having a wonderful time, with lots of other bunnies and critters that we have all lost. He will NEVER be sick again, ever !

After living like a KING in his new home with you, and getting so much love, he would not want ya unhappy and sad for long, hope you feel better and happier real soon.

Take care, Hugs and Kisses from Licorice,

My Licorice girl

Very sorry about the loss of Edward - hopefully he and Jack (my mini-rex) are hopping around together.
