Orca (one of my bunnies) died some time in the night.
Somehow I knew because I asked Sabrina to check on him this morning.
I didn't even have that heart in throat feeling when she called my name. I wasn't shocked. I don't know why though, he was only 4.5 years, and that is pretty young for a rabbit. He seemed fine. I think it must have been a digestive mechanical problem or something, not too sure, but it happened fast enough that I didn't get a chance to help him.
He looked pretty peaceful.
Moose (my other bunny) is extra happy and energetic today. It is a little creepy. They never liked each other, but I wonder if he is actually happy that the other rabbit is gone. I guess he figures he has won. The territory wars are over, and he is king shit.
Persephone (one of our cats) is a little weird though. She knew something was wrong this morning, and she has been attached to me all day. She liked him and was often affectionate with him, so it is her first experience loosing a buddy.
Saby was sweet this morning and went in to work late so she could help with Orca and stuff. She put him in a box and brought him to the the vet for cremation. I am not at all squeamish with dead animals, but it is kinda hard to think straight when a pet dies.
I just spent all day in bed.
