I love rabbits. all kinds of rabbits. they are a very misunderstood creature. they are sensitive yet stubborn. need social interaction with other bunnies and people. they are determined little souls and of course they are super cute.
This is a thread for rabbit lovers.

@Bunniekins it is sad watching your parents grow old and seeing their body failing. My mum is starting to get a bit forgetful, but some of her medications make her have, what she calls "brain fog". But usually she had no problems mentally. She loves me taking her out for a drive in the car and reminiscing about the old days and I love hearing about some of the things she got up to. It has made me realise that I am more like her than I thought.
When My dad (step-dad) passed away 2 years ago I was am still are devastated. He taught me so much and he was my go to person to run things by if I wasn't sure. I don't want to lose my mum, but I know they can't live forever. Nor do I want her to suffer in pain, like my dad did, just because I want her around longer.

@Mustang67 yes i am also worried about my mum's health she has had 5 of her best friends die in 4 years. very sobering.

It certainly is sobering. All of my mum's friends that she would spend hours on the phone to have now passed away. She has one friend that checks on her from time to time, that lives a couple of houses down. But we found out 2 days ago that the housing trust are selling the house she is living in and she will be relocated. And she has one male friend who lives in Queensland that she talks to from time to time and that's about it. I feel so sorry for her.
I think that is why she likes coming for a drive with me, so she has someone to talk to. My sister is her carer, but obviously they don't interact that often. So, while I am here, I will make the most of it and spend more time with her.
