I felt this deeply. I mean I still fondly remember my goldfish that lived for four years during my time at Uni. (How it survived I’ll never know.) I think grief over our beloved pets is very valid. Your rabbit sounds amazing! It’s understandable that you’d miss him. ❤️
I am so sorry to hear that you had to say goodbye to Heathcliff. He sounds just wonderful, and I hope there will be ways--maybe partly by writing this very moving tribute--that keep his memory alive and positive for you.
Firstly, Heathcliff is an amazing name for a rabbit!
Secondly, to be loved unconditionally is precious, and when we’re loved like that - whether by human or animal - it’s a privilege. And so we love back in the same way. I still mourn to death of my beloved Stripey cat and she passed 2 years ago. All the animals I’ve loved will stay in my heart, just like the people I’ve loved.

Thanks Sasha. ❤️️It's always hard to say goodbye to animals when they've been part of our lives. Like you say, that grief really is valid. ❤️️

Thanks so much, Tia. He was a lovely chap. I shed a few tears writing today's post, but do feel better for it. Xx
