Still feeling thankful but also very very sad…
My lop bunny, Mr. Peabody died Wednesday morning. He died in my arms. When I woke up I could see that he was at deaths door. I held him and cried and he died right there. My mom thinks he hung on so that I would be with him when he went.
Princess and the Peabs
The thing is there were no signs of him not being well. I clean his and Princess Mononoki’s pen every morning. I feed them and check their water. In the eves when I get home I check on them and pet them and tell them goodnight. If Peabs was in any kind of bitchy mood (he was a very bossy rabbit) I might even get up in the middle of the night to check on him. I had no clue. So this morning was a shocker. I would have never gotten him to a vet in time, he went pretty quickly.
I will miss him terribly. He was my big hunny bunny. I am heart broken.
This is my Losing Patience face
I also had more melodrama with the renter kid. He is obviously very confused about his place and rank here at the Casa de Pepe. Very. We ended on a fair deal when I left for work this afternoon but then I come home to a note and his telling me how I am going to mind my p’s and q’s on the use of the central heat and air since he pays half. WHAT THE FUCK? Did someone drop him on his head? Ack. (This note from the kid who leaves the central heat and air on when he leaves, the kid who opens windows while it’s running….I could go on and on, but I will not).
I made it through the week before and Thanksgiving eve as a new deli person at a very very busy grocery store. I did it. High five. This week has been insane in my perspective. A person with absolutely no grocery or deli background. This is my third week and I lived to tell the tale. No meats were dropped, no sandwiches were burned on the grill, no guest was given poorly sliced deli meats to my knowledge. No loss of digits occured from slicing said deli meats. A successful day from where I am standing. Or sitting.
I walked out with my t’day bag of goodies for Thanksgiving day at my cousins and a bottle of wine for my eve.
I will bury Mr. Peabody tomorrow in my vegetable garden. I am so sad over this. He was such a damn fine rabbit. He was a solid citizen. He was a kind partner. He was a hunny bunny beyond compare. I will miss him.
So’Long Ole Peabs. I loved you so.
RIP Mr. Peabody.
Have a wonderful T’day, the finest in all the land. (for those of you who are celebrating this American holiday)

I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Peabody. Losing a pet is so hard. I know mine are like any other part of my family (in some case more than) and it is just wreched. Congratulations on surviving the day at work! Retail is rough at holidays, but retail food is even tougher. Have a great T-day
I’m so sorry! But I’m thankful that Mr. Peabody got to live his life with such a wonderful family. I bet he’s in bunny heaven, bragging about it right now!
Hi Your pets are like one of the family we had two dogs that reached 15 years of age
Good luck
terence
Have a great Christmas
So sorry about your little friend. He was lucky to have a family like yours to give him so much love when he was here.
Happy Tday to you and yours!
I’m so sorry for your loss. I had a lop once, and yes- they can be such sweethearts- I am so sorry Mr. Peabody passed away. Lisa
I’ll keep Mr Peabody in my thoughts today.
Oh Cassi….I’m so sorry! I know how tough it’s got to be, even though he was a pet he’s still like a child. I’m so sorry for his passing. {{{HUGS}}}
Roomie needs a reality check. Does he forget who runs the show there? Sheesch!
I hope you have a good Thanksgiving.
Sorry about your little friend.At least he went quickly and in your arms.
Renter boy needs setting straight.A baseball bat might do the trick.
I hope you have a great day, enjoy the food and wine.
i’m sorry about your rabbit. :o( tell your roommate to go fuck himself.
Sorry about the loss of your pet , Cassi . It was dramatic .
In those circumstances coul I wish you a happy Thaksgiving . Yes I do .
Love

Cassi, I`m so sorry about Mr. Peabs, I know how much you cared for him, my first thought about your bunny was, do you think your roommate might have had anything to do with it?? You`ve said in the past that he did`nt like your pets. Its odd too that just the other day I was thinking about him possibly doing something like letting your bird out while your at work, just a thought.
So sorry about Mr. Peabody. Everytime I’ve lost one of my guineapigs it’s been very hard (and in all but two cases, very sudden.)
As for the lodger? Put him on notice that he’s on a warning of some sort, one more transgression and you’ll bust his ass outta there. There must be other people who need somewhere to lodge who are far more reasonable to live with.
I kept thinking “what the hell’s ‘T’day’… but I did work it out in the end.
Glad the job seems to be getting better.
I’m so sorry, Cassi!
I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Pea!
As for the renter dude…how dare he think he can tell you what to do. Does he remember he is the one renting from you?? Silly boy!
I hope that your day was a great one!
oh no! I’m so sorry about Mr. Peabody.
sorry to hear tht. *hug*
im sorry to hear that..
i lost my bunnnie.. someone left the gate open & she went out.. it was too late to get her back..
i bet he did wait till he was in your arms.. </3.
I’m very sorry to hear about your bunny.
Don’t hesitate to use the deli delectables as weaponry for ornery customers–but mostly don’t hesitate to tell us about it when you do in great detail.
Oh Cassi I am so sorry about Mr. Peabody.
I hope that Thanksgiving went lovely
I found out the other day that a girl in my class works with you at Nugget!Her name is Nicole. 
I’m sorry for the loss of your bunny.
I had to hold my bunny lola when she got sick and died in my arms.

I am sorry to hear of your loss, I have no idea how I’ll cope when Fintan dies as he is the centre of my world and now the centre of mine and Patrick’s. People who don’t have pets just don’t understand the pain of losing them; though I’ve always found people who’ve never had pets slightly suspect anyway. A big hug to you!
I’d kick your tenant out, how dare he try to lay down the law… let him try that somewhere else and see how he gets on.
awww im sorry for your loss

Cassie, I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved bunny. I have no doubts that Mr. Peabody lived a wonderful life and you will miss him terribly. Having just lost my Ginger, I can certainly understand what you’re going through. Please accept my condolences. *Hugs*…
Sorry to hear your bunny pass away. I can feel the pain, imagine myself in the position.
I have a pet at home, I think if he died, I would be very upset, depress and break down.
Did you find out why your rabbit died yet? Is it necessary to bring the other bunny to the vet to check for health, just in case?
It’s very touching he wait until you woke up, so you can see each other at the last minute. I think there is that special thing, an emotion thing in animal that is very touching, yet sometimes hard to describe and need to ‘feel’ to understand.
Not only am I sorry for your loss, but that Jenny Lewis album is one of my very favorites!
fuck..I missed this yesterday Cassi. I had no idea you lost your bunnykins. How sad and how sudden.
I am a shit and am wondering if your apartment mate did it……He must leave immediately if not sooner. Why would your Mr. P just go so suddenly? Can you afford an autopsy from the vet? I would do it. See how my sick mind works? I am very cynical especially when things are odd like this.
I’ve been researching and there are several ailments that rabbits can have and die suddenly. If it’s viral, I hope your other bunny doesn’t get sick, or you cat. I think you really should take your other bunnykins to the vet and have it checked out.
Thanks for coming by. Sad for you to have lost a friend. And hats off to you as the xangan from furthest back in history I have ever seen!
Bless, Peabs. My condolences to your mommy.
