A couple of days ago I had to euthanize my rabbit, Sophie. She had been a little lethargic and "off" in the afternoon, and when I came back in the evening from picking my boyfriend up at work, she got progressively worse that night. I took her to the emergency vet and they thought she had an abscess or a tumor behind her eye. She was suffering. She would have been 8 years old in May, so she had a long life and was very healthy up until the end.

Sophie loved the dogs. She was always so sassy and feisty. Mia was scared of her, and sometimes when Sophie got bored and Mia was sleeping nearby she would thump and then watch Mia bolt up and run away. If I was eating something that she wanted me to share with her, she would beg, and sometimes nip me if I didn't share right away! She started out as a family pet that my parents got for me and my sisters when I was in high school, but after I moved out she came with me and lived with me in three different apartments. Once we had a roommate who had three other rabbits and a cat. Sophie became BFFs with the cat- they would chase each other around the apartment and just hang out together. I'm really going to miss her.
