Alav A Shalom, Sid
Feb. 12th, 2003 11:34 amIt's a sad day off for me, as Sid, my little angry black bunny, has died.
He was about 5 years old - I'd had him for over 3 years. I'd greet him in the mornings, and when I came home from work. When I had to clean out his cage, he would get out of the cage and hide behind the couch for a few hours. When I first moved into the apartment, he got into the habit of gnawing on the cords to my TV and VCR - which are taped up with duct tape.
Surprisingly, Sid was a finicky eater. He'd eat the kibble he liked the most, then root through the bowl for more of what he liked, leaving the rest for last - or desperation. If he was given food he didn't like, he'd upend the bowl, or just ignore it until he was hungry.
I'm just sitting here in shock, bawling my eyes out like a goddamn baby - feeling absolutely pathetic right now.
So, rest in peace, Mr. Sidworthy - you know you were loved.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
hugs and love miss carly
