Description
This photo was taken in October. It shows my lovely bunny Fips with my Shiba Inu Loki.Fips was a castor rex and about 12 years old (I don't know for sure anymore when I got him. I was so young...) and he died due to his old age, just a month after this photo was taken. He was blind in his last few months. This is one of my favorite memories, showing the relationship between Loki and Fips. They were friends, kinda, Loki grew up with this old, fearless boy.
It was hard to let him go, but I know he's happy now wherever he might be. And we'll meet again, someday. It was a pain for me to see him struggle in his last days, losing so much weight, but he was so strong... a little warrior. He always was curious when I came to his cage, wanting me to pet him and go out into the garden. Always. Even when he got blind and skinny. But on that last day he didn't even care about me. Just sat there, and I saw he was ready to go. It was the hardest decision I had to make in my life so far.
I will love you, always, forever. Rest in peace, my little darling.
This photo was taken by an awesome photographer. You should check her out on facebook!

Rest well, little Fips. My condolensces to you for loosing a long-time friend like him. But even if it was the hardest decision - after so many happy years with you maybe it was simply time for him to go. Twelve years are such a long time for a small bunny! I am sure he is waiting for you somewhere now. After all, we never loose those dear to us, they just go ahead to light the way. Sending a very warm hug and a tigh squeeze over to you, Dreamie!

Thank you so much. This means a lot to me.
Even if he might still be with me, he left an empty space. It still happens that I come home and walk to the place his cage stood, wanting to pet him, but then realizing he's gone. I guess this will stop someday. u__u

I know, but it will get better with time. I lost my dog a few years ago, I think I can imagine your pain. At first it hurts and as their traces slowly vanish from your life, it hurts even more. His cage gone, the last few stray hairs from your favourite jeans, the smell... it all hurts, there is no denying and I don't think there is any weakness in mourning them. But keep going! One day you will tell someone about Fips, and suddenly you'll realize the pain is gone. All that is left are fond memories of the time you have spent with him by your side. Believe me, this moment will come. It takes time, but it will come! And until then I am sure there will be plenty people to remind you of happier things or just give you a warm hug.
