Hello Bunbun's family,
It's been a month since I said goodbye to my beloved bunny, Oreo.
During this time, Bunbun's Toy Box has been unusually quiet. Many people may have noticed that I haven't been posting anything, and the truth is, I simply needed time to grieve. Losing Oreo has been one of the hardest things I've ever experienced. Even now, I still cry when I think about her.
Oreo was my one and only bunny, and she spent 11 beautiful years by my side.
She was wonderfully bossy and truly the queen of our home. Whenever I handled other rabbits and came home with their scent on me, Oreo would make sure I knew she was unhappy! She would grunt, give me the cold shoulder, and sometimes even try to chase me away. Her personality was bigger than her tiny body, and that's one of the countless things I loved about her.
Before Oreo came into my life, I always thought rabbits were fragile and delicate animals. But Oreo changed my perspective completely. She taught me how strong, brave, and determined rabbits truly are.
Despite living with head tilt and cancer, Oreo never seemed to let her illnesses define her. Her will to live was remarkable. She continued to enjoy her favourite fruits, vegetables, and treats, and she lived each day with joy and enthusiasm. Looking back, I find comfort in knowing that she genuinely lived happily right until her final day.
Watching a beloved rabbit grow old and become sick is heartbreaking, but it is also a privilege. Caring for Oreo through her senior years taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of cherishing every moment we have together.
Although my heart still aches, I know it is time to let her go peacefully. Love doesn't end when life does, and Oreo will forever remain a part of Bunbun's Toy Box and a part of me.
She brought so much happiness into my life, and I miss her every day.
Thank you, Oreo, for the cuddles, the mischief, the attitude, and the unconditional love.
Thank you for teaching me that rabbits are far stronger and braver than many people realize.
Thank you for 11 unforgettable years.
❤️ Forever loved.
🌈 Forever missed.
🐰 Forever my little queen.
Thank you, everyone, for your support, kindness, and understanding during this difficult time. It truly means so much to me. ❤️
As I slowly return to Bunbun's Toy Box, I hope to share more about my journey caring for a senior rabbit and a bunny with chronic illness. If you are caring for an elderly or sick rabbit and have questions, please feel free to reach out. I am not a veterinarian, but I would be honoured to share the knowledge and experiences that Oreo taught me. Although I may not have all the answers, I'll do my best to help and pass on what I've learned along the way.
Because every bunny deserves to be loved, understood, and cherished — right until the very end.❤️
