Oreo by Julie

I did not get to spend time with Oreo during her last month. After a serious car accident I was away for many weeks. During that time she became very ill and I have always wondered if she thought I abandoned her. I took her to the vets when she became ill but she died there only an hour later. I wish I had been there to say goodbye. I hope she will hear this goodbye wherever she is and will forgive me for bringing another rabbit into HER house.

I miss hearing the twang of the doorstops. She loved that sound and would do it for 15 minutes at a time. It made it hard to hear the TV but I enjoyed listening to her enjoy herself. She wasn’t a cuddle bunny but wherever I was in the house she was with me. My partner always laughed when she came home and found me napping on the top of the bed and Oreo napping underneath the bed.

Oreo was a very vocal rabbit. I miss her grunts and bee sounds and soft love sounds. I miss finding her on the soft rocking chair even though she wasn’t supposed to be up there. I miss her humour her dance of joy her love of life. I miss her – so much.

Goodbye Oreo.
I hope I never let you down.
You never ever let me down.
