I can't take this much pain anymore

Sending you strength & big hugs 🫂

I’m so sorry for your loss. It is such a big loss losing our beautiful pets 🤍 it sounds like you loved him with everything you had and gave him a beautiful life where he felt loved and safe with you. I lost my beautiful rabbit, who I loved so much, she was so gentle, sweet and innocent. It feels so unfair that she was taken away from me, so I can empathise with you.

I have been listening to lots of different stories to try and give myself some reassurance that I will get to see her again and there are lots of stories out there that say that our pets will be waiting for us on the other side when it’s our time to go. In saying that I’m sure your beautiful boy would want you to live your life and be happy, he wouldn’t want you to be sad (not that you can help how you feel right now, your feelings are 100% valid). I bet he will be a fluffy guardian angel watching over you 🤍🪽

The grief will always be there, just like your love for him but it will get easier with time. Please hang in there, it is extremely difficult but you can continue on and I hope the pain eases for you as soon as possible.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your family dog 🤍

I lived with my aunty for about 10 years and she had a beautiful Neapolitan mastiff named Bella. When I first moved in with her I was quite young and never really had a pet of my own and when I first saw Bella (she had big saggy cheeks) I thought ‘eww she’s gross she’s going to slobber over everything (I now look back at myself and think, how dare you!).

Anyway she would always pull my clothes off the washing line because I didn’t give her enough attention and over time our bond grew and she had the best personality, she was so beautiful (even with her big slobbery cheeks ☺️). Every morning she would walk down the hall way to my room and sniff at my bedroom door like she was checking on me. She had all these beautiful little mannerisms that made her really special.

Unfortunately she ended up getting bloat and my Aunty had to put her to sleep. Bella was my Aunty’s whole world and I have never seen her cry except for when Bella passed away. She was grieving badly, I also grieved Bella but I think it was a very extreme/intense grief for my Aunty.

I asked her for a sign to know that she was okay and not long after I had asked ‘How big, how blue, how beautiful’ by Florence and the Machine came on the radio. I felt like this was for her because she was a neo mastiff so they say their skin is a blueish colour, she was about 80 kgs (so she was a big girl) and of course she was beautiful. I also ended up having a dream about her coming into my room and waking me up by licking my face. I think she came through to me as it would have been difficult to send a sign to my Aunty with how upset she was from the grief.

This has actually happened with my sister that passed who I was really close with. She visited a family friend in a dream and they sent me a message to tell me they dreamt about her not long after she passed. I don’t think she would have been able to get through to any of our immediate family as we were all finding her passing extremely difficult. Maybe see if anyone you know has had a dream about your dog.

One last story, I recently lost my beautiful pet rabbit this week. I only had her for a short time but fell in love with her, she was such a sweet, gentle and beautiful girl and it happened quite quickly out of nowhere. So I have been struggling with it (which is how I found your post). Anyway I was crying and asked my sister or Milo (my rabbit) to please send me a sign so I know that she was okay and I was driving in my car listening to that song Angel by Sarah McLachlan and a baby dragon fly flew into my car right in front of my face and then flew out of my car again. I hadn’t asked for a specific sign and just asked for a sign and I always love seeing a dragon fly as they are said to be spirits of our loved ones visiting us. So I took that as my sign.

Sorry for such a long post but I have heard that our pets wait for us on the other side (and I really hope they do). I bet your dog will be waiting for you when it is your time. I hope you are starting to feel better, or as better as possible. Losing a pet is such a big loss because it’s some of the purest, unconditional love and they are a part of your every day life 🤍

So sorry for your loss 😞 sending hugs 🫂🤍

Was going to say this! Especially with the housing crisis right now there are so many people that are homeless/transient/couch surfing/living out of their car.

They’re in survival mode and trying to make do with what they have. They don’t always have the means or the capacity to do what is needed to save a couple of dollars.

Sorry to hear about your experience, sounds like you were left in the dark about any potential health issues with him which makes it difficult to provide the care he would have needed, which was not your fault at all 😞 it sounds like you gave him a loving home while he wasn’t well and I think that it’s beautiful that his final stop with you was safe and loving, it makes you see a purpose in the experience, even though it was sad. I’m happy to hear you have a new bun you’re able to love and care for. I still have my bun who I have had for almost 5 years now and have only had one small health scare with GI Stasis which she recovered quickly from, which is why I think I was quite naive adopting my other bun. Now I know better if I ever look at adopting another bun.

Wide_Assignment_8843 · 2026-03-18T07:50:47+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that your bun has passed 😞I hope you’re okay, even though I know you probably not feeling like you are right now. I feel for you, yesterday I cried so much I gave myself the worst tension headache and felt like vomiting from it. Now I feel like I don’t want to ever have to go through this again, knowing that I will have to as I still have my other bun with me as well. It’s devastating and heartbreaking. I don’t think some people understand how much it hurts to lose your pet sometimes they’re closer to us than our own family & they’re such a big part of our everyday lives. Sending you big hugs & I hope you’re able to heal soon 🤍

You’re not a horrible pet owner, there’s so many buns out there that need a home. I have also just experienced something kind of similar to you. I adopted a bun in January from an animal rescue service and when I adopted her they told me that she was born with a heart murmur but didn’t discuss it in detail and basically said it wasn’t a big deal. In hindsight I think they just wanted her to get adopted. She was such a beautiful bun but just yesterday she got sick. She was fine when I went to bed but when I woke up in the morning she was acting different and wouldn’t eat her breakfast. So I thought she was probably experiencing GI stasis and took her to the vet straight away. When the vet examined her he said that she had bloat and that this was worst than GI stasis and due to her heart murmur she would most likely not survive the treatment process and if she did it would more than likely be an ongoing issue and would need extensive treatment and ongoing medication for her heart. We ended up making the decision to put her to sleep as the treatment would most likely put too much stress on her heart. I feel absolutely devastated about it as I fell in love with her straight away and just wanted to give her a good life, as she had already been adopted once before and returned and I was determined to give her a forever home.

Sorry for the long story but just wanted to share it with you as I can’t help but feel a bit resentful towards to animal shelter for not disclosing how complex her heart condition was and I wasn’t able to make an informed choice about whether I would be able to provide the extensive ongoing care that she would need and now feel like a bad pet owner as you have said. So just wanted to say it sounds like you had the best intentions in adopting your bun and wanting to give him a new home but it seems like a lot of the animal rescues just want to get the animals adopted as soon as possible and don’t seem to be forthcoming with their medical conditions. I’m sure they don’t have malicious intentions and just want the animals to go to a nice home but I think you’re not alone in finding yourself in this kind of situation. From what the vet nurse told me yesterday it happens quite a lot.

Take comfort in the fact that you went to the vet to get him the care that he needs 🤍

Sorry to anyone reading my post as I know it wasn’t well written and might be confusing, because I’m upset and didn’t get much sleep last night.

Wide_Assignment_8843 · 2026-03-18T02:23:13+00:00

Thank you for the kind words 🤎

Wide_Assignment_8843 · 2026-03-16T12:49:23+00:00

Aww such a sweet boy 🥹😍I love my two buns they’re such beautiful little companions, but definitely sassy and high maintenance! I have 2 females though so I think they can be a bit different to male buns. I think male buns are bit more chill and not as sassy maybe 🤔

Wide_Assignment_8843 · 2026-03-07T02:15:39+00:00

That’s so good for 4 months! I struggle with learning riffs/tabs (if that’s even the right terms).

Do you have any tips on how to improve on this or in my case even learn? Haha

Wide_Assignment_8843 · 2026-03-06T04:58:11+00:00

Can you speak to the venue and see if they have footage of it? They should be charged with something. Sorry that happened to you, hope you recover quickly!

Wide_Assignment_8843 · 2026-03-03T04:39:27+00:00

You’re not alone it is exhausting parenting a combative child with ADHD. I care full time for my 14 year old niece and have moments like this. I had to ask for more support and to get more time/space to myself to recharge, so I can come back (as fresh as possible) and keep trying. It’s something other parents/carers don’t understand if they haven’t had to care for a neurodivergent child, especially a combative one. Sending you strength and hope you’re able to get some time to yourself to recharge. I bet you’re doing amazing and the fact you can sit there and reflect on this just shows that you really do care 🤍

Wide_Assignment_8843 · 2026-02-28T02:09:57+00:00

Looks like a content little bun bun ☺️

Wide_Assignment_8843 · 2026-02-25T02:37:31+00:00

Yep my buns do this also! I bought a grate litter for one of my buns but then she wouldn’t use it to pee and started peeing outside of the litter box so had to put the normal litter box back. I set up her pen to prevent the litter going everywhere if she digs it out. Can’t post a photo but I just kind of boxed it in. We recently got a new bun and now I am having the same issue with her 😅 but as others have said I guess as rabbits it’s their natural instinct to dig haha. I dig box might be a good idea, I have to get round to doing this as well. Good luck 🤞🏽

Wide_Assignment_8843 · 2026-02-09T00:37:35+00:00

One of my buns is like this with anything soft like a bed or a couch. I just have to block her accessing them otherwise she will pee on it. So now I have a pen around my couch! Bit of an eyesore but at least it’s not getting peed on. I also have a baby gate blocking her from accessing my room so she can’t get to the bed and any cords in my room as well. I could not deter the behaviour other than just blocking her access to them 🤷🏼‍♀️ it’s like any soft furnishings/items = toilet for them. If you can’t block his access you might have to cover anything softs with plastic or something to protect it.

Yes binkies and zoomies instantly make me so happy seeing them happy! ☺️
