Thanks guys.

I managed to stop crying long enough to go to the drug store for work, and then talked to my mom on the phone and started crying again. I think my dad gave her shit, because she was much better this time and didn’t say anything when I said I was going to get a rescue rabbit as a companion for Benny.

There’s a provincial park by my brothers house where I think Bart is going to spend eternity - I’m gonna check it out this weekend. Meanwhile, Bart is sleeping on the balcony.

I’m just so totally heart broken. For a really long time it was just Bart and myself. No roommate. No Benny. Just Bart and me. I remember one particular boyfriend I had. I would walk into the room and see Bart and my heart would get all big and full of love. And then I would see the guy and go “Oh well. Ho hum.”

Gah. This is really awful. At least when my dog died he had been sick, and I was able to spend some quality time with him before he died.

This was totally out of the blue. ☹

I am really sorry to hear about your pet rabbit. I am 32 with no children and my pets are my kids, so I understand where you are coming from. But I also understand there are those out there that don’t feel that way about pets and that is fine. When our pet bird died I never thought I could cry so much over something so little, but I did. Take care. Love and hugs coming your way.

Sorry about your rabbit. Especially because it helped to inspire this classic post: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=81117](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=81117) .
