Since sec3, this rabbit has been with me for approx 7 yrs. Lookin at me when i was having fun, quarreling with my parents, start of poly, graduate from poly, leaving for NS.
He'd never fall sick thru out this few yrs of stay outside my corridor. From a small round fur ball, it grew up to become a real adult rabbit. I could still rmb him standing on his hind legs watching us when we came home back in the earlier years. Running ard the small area like a lost sheep when my dad comes home from work. And for a non-meat eater like him, he was still considered a likable pet when pple drop by our house and take a look or play with him.
It has been many yrs tat i could last rmb the last time i seriously took care of him, till recently, my dad told me ah wang was sick, tat he has dragging his hind legs when he move. Tat moment i saw was painful, like something pierced thru my heart, watching him not eating and dragging his hind legs was extremely painful. Knowing my pet was ill for the 1st time, i couldnt do anything. Until my dad took him to a vet, they diagnosed him with some stomach-wasn't-feeling-well problem and brought some medicine back for him then i started to panic and realise this might be the last few moments with him.
As a rabbit lifespan is only abt 6-8yrs. I was pretty fortunate to had him with us for 7yrs. For so much he'd been thru with us, from a small fur ball where i can hold him with 1 hand to a big fat rabbit tat couldnt even be bothered to move at times, he has alrdy been one of us and emotionally attached to our family.
Wang Wang had been a really good boy, naughty rabbit, and till today, 150310, his time was up. He left us with only good memories that he has build throughout this 7years, the actions, the laziness, and the naughty times when he jumped out of the fence to lie ard along the corridor. He left peacefully.
I felt sry for him, tat i didnt do anything much for him these few yrs. A regret tat i could never ever explain to him, that i only hope he can understand. I could only feel he's still like a baby when i fed him with food these couple of weeks, knowing he was weak, at least i didnt made him leave with an empty stomach and at least i fed him for the last time, watching him looking at me. I felt a guilt. I felt so miserable.
I'll never forget this part of my life tat I had him with us, for the 7 years, he shared our fun and tough times. He was the 1st and only pet i had tat lived with us for so long, guarding our home and silently watching over us. I thank him for being my and our companion, u will always be remembered.
Consider me lucky, or was it fate tat planned tis. Since last wk when i came home, for the entire I took off and he fell sick. Was it a hint for me to accompany my rabbit for his last phase?
I was extremely happy and glad tat i could spend this 2 wks of time tgt with my dear rabbit, it seemed like he has been waitin for this period of my stay at home, that he fall from the strong and active rabbit to a weak and tired one.
I held him in my arms and still feel he was a baby, watching him deteriorating day by day, but trying his best to stand and walk, react to us, even he was so exhausted. Move so we know he's still kicking alive, guess he must have wanted our attention for the very last time before he took his last breath.
And as he lie comfortably at the most corner of my corridor, tat was his final spot and his favourite place to pass on peacefully into the next stage of his life.
God, had you taken him away?
旺旺, I will miss you.
