The rabbit formerly known as Princess Alice Tete de Lion had to have a name change when he was castrated... he became Alex, or The Fat White One for short.
Bob found him in his usual space this morning, stretched out under a tree, inert.
He has gone to the Elysium fields.
Much sadness here, particulary from his lifes' companion, the rabbit formerly known as Jessica La TutTut Chainsaw who became Jess after his/her operation. S/ He was lying next to the patch where Alex died but has since started bopping about - looking around - and has forced down some clover.
Everyone sad.
Sorry for your and Jess's loss. I have found with my cats that the stretching out usually indicates a gentle death. If they're in pain, they curl up. I always think of it as them expressing that they're preparing to leap into the next phase so the Elysium reference seems valid. I think most small creatures live heroic lives in their own way. RIP lovely bunny
