More than two months ago my best friend and I had a huge fight and haven't talked since. About two weeks after that fight, my rabbit Pfeffer got hurt. She wasn't moving from this one spot in her cage and when I picked her up she couldn't control her legs. Well I was very freaked out and we rushed her across town to the vet. As I sat in the examination room, I texted my best friend "Something's wrong with my rabbit." I could usually rely on him to respond even if it was just a jack-a** comment. *smiles* Anyway, The examined Pfeffer and she couldn't move her legs well at all. There's this one moment that sticks in my head ... the vet rotated Pfeffer's hips and laid them completely flat. Now that's not normal at all. She couldn't even sit back like a normal rabbit again, he had to put her legs back for her. The vet said she probably fractured her back and if that was the case the best thing to do would be to put her down. Now we have two rabbits, we adopted tham as a pair and they love each other very much. I was sure if we put Pfeffer to sleep, Haus would die of depression. I couldn't fathom separating them. My heart was breaking. The vet gave Pfeffer a steriod shot in the hopes that it was just swelling and some take home steriods. He said that if she didn't improve by the next day it would probably be best to decide to put her down then. ... Still no reply from my best friend... Well thanks to the Gods Pfeffer showed great improvement and by her next check up she was a completely diferent rabbit. We couldn't even get herr to sit still for the vet to examine her. *breathes* She recovered and now her and Haus are happily still together. Although he thinks I'm going to take her away again and gets very defensive. He's constantly hitting my hand out of the cage. *smiles* Anyway, my friend hasn't talked to me since our fight and ignored my text... this broke my heart. I realized at that moment that I was going to be on my own and I had to be okay with that. I wrote this all down today because I've said all my peace to him and there's absolutely nothing more to say. I hope that since I've let it all out that I can finally put this all behind me. And start working on all the plans I have for myself. Here's to new beginings and moving on. whee
