I thought I had lost my bunny today :(

I'm still awake and blogging because I can still feel tension pumping in my every vein. The shock from seeing Booni that way was unforgettable.

It all started with the story of the new pellet mix, which turned out to be full of junk. Bunny didn't poop all day and we feared that he wasn't feeling well. Finally, he pooped but it was still weird so there was still a bit of worry. Things were fine, I checked him occasionally.

And then it happened.

I saw him sprawled out on the floor, looking dull and still. His nose wasn't moving. My heart stopped and blood flushed down inside my head. Shocked as I was, I tried to shake him a little bit but he wasn't responding. Neither was his chest expanding. I felt instant panic waves. "Oh my God." was the only thing I managed to tell myself despite the sudden burst of thoughts. Cluelessness blanketed me and tears started to well up as I sulked in that particular moment and absorbed the possibility that was in front of me. I looked away for a few seconds, scared as hell. It was the longest minute of my life.

I closed my eyes and tried to shake my bunny again, this time harder and with desperation. He ground his teeth a little bit. Oh Relief!

It turned out that he was simply engulfed in deep sleep, but from the looks of him anyone could've been fooled. I found myself slightly shaking after that, but things were okay and that was the important thing.

Life really is short and it can end just like that.. so tonight I've decided to give the bunny unlimited cuddles.
