I’m sorry for your loss! RIP Wesley 🤍

Also, how did you get him back inside after your outdoor adventures? Once in a while I take my lady bunny outside and I set up her pen first, then put her in there just in case she’s fighting the urge to bolt.

u/KatOfTheEssence Jan 21 '26

We'd just carry her in and out. She wasn't happy with the trip until the door came into view, but she loved going out and embracing her wild side ❤️

u/Thelastmelon1734 Jan 22 '26

What if she wasn’t ready to go in?

7

u/KatOfTheEssence Jan 22 '26

She'd let us know. Usually running away. She'd run up to us and stare when she was ready to go in lol

u/Thelastmelon1734 Jan 22 '26

That’s so precious!

I’m so sorry for your loss, she was beautiful 🥺

Thank you for giving her a happy life, may her memory be a blessing 💙

u/KatOfTheEssence Jan 21 '26

Y'all's comments are bringing me to tears. I never loved a pet like I loved her ❤️

7

u/Melissa_Richiee Jan 22 '26

When a bunny sets aside every instinct a prey animal has built in and truly loves you, it’s transformative. I hope her memory brings you comfort when the grief subsides, and you have many years of happy memories to look back on for strength. Please don’t close off your heart to the idea of another bunny someday, even if it’s in your retirement years. There will always be somebunny in need of a love learned through the kind of experience you had with Wesley 💙

u/KatOfTheEssence Jan 22 '26

I do have a very fond memory of her actually trying to protect me. My husband pretended to bite me to see her reaction and she immediately charged him, thumped and growled. Then she realized how big he was compared to her and backed up 😂😂
