Goodbye Sherman

[neva_ivan]

Sherman died tonight.  He ate breakfast this morning, but wouldn't eat tonight.  We took him to the emergency vet, only to have him die while they were trying to treat him.

We are obviously very worried about Juniper now.

Not much else I can say or think or do at the moment.

Sherman
1996 - 2005

I'm so sorry. What a handsome guy! I will certainly keep you and Juniper in my thoughts.

[neva_ivan]

Thank you. Sherman was 9, and as far as we know Juniper is about the same age. We will have to see how things go over the next few days.

I'm so sorry! *hug* How are you holding up?

[neva_ivan]

It has not even sunk in yet

I am sorry. I hope Juniper is not sick too.

I saw a rabbit while out walking just now. Sammy chased it, but fortunately Sammy listens so the rabbit got away. Neva was on a leash. She would not have listened.

I can put out some treats for the wild rabbits in Sherman's memory.

No, Juniper is not sick--but she is also 9 years old and she and Sherman were very bonded. I fear that she cannot take the loss.

[nevansams2_feet]

Yes, I fear something like that is gonna happen when one of Sammy or Neva goes. They are 8 and 9 and have spent 8 years together. Sammy might be OK. He was first and is more bonded to me then to Neva. Neva has never been without her Sammy. It would be hard on her.

I hope Juniper will be OK. Giver her lots of attention.

I'm so sorry. :( *hugs*

Thanks. When a bunny is that elderly, we knew our time was limited. Still it was quite a shock.

Sherman, we will never forget you. :-(

Aw, your Sherman icon!
