Vale Astaroth

[tcpip]

Astaroth rabbit just died. We bought him in July 2006, a bright eyed and very quick little creature. He'd been sick the previous week, but he'd received medicines and only last night he was happily munching on basil, parsley, celery and carrot and bouncing around - I was under the impression he'd made a full recovery. He was only four years old. I can't work out what has gone wrong.

Time for the burial.

The curse of loving cute, small, dependent creatures. Their lives are almost unfairly brief.

When I lost my dogs (we had three, and they all died of very old age, one per year over the course of three years) my comfort was that I knew they lived very well, and never wanted for anything. I can only guess, based on your posts about them, that yours live the same way.

Vale, Astaroth!

It is the best that we can hope to give to any living creature.
