Bye Rose

This post is dedicated to my pet rabbit Rose,
Yesterday Rose was lying in a heap,
No,She was not dead.

I wanted to lift her up to see how she was doing,
Her two back legs where caught in the cage wire,
I released her and found out she couldn't move.

I fed her her favorite food:carrots,
She didn't chew it,
I fed her her favorite leaf in my back yard,
She didn't eat it.

That day,I managed to carry her
and cradle her for the first time..
She felt so soft and cuddly..

I brought her to the vet,
The doctor said she was paralyzed,
And he said she was pregnant.

the doctor said she probably got her feet stuck
and then she was shocked.
So she was trying to release herself by hopping,
then she sprained her back.

She couldn't even move her jaws,
So he had to use medicine to put her to sleep forever.

the doctor gave me a new rabbit,
she was about the same age as rose.

it was to replace rose.
We dug up a hole and buried rose.

The new rabbit was named rose the second,
She was put into the same cage as peter,

Peter mated with her,
Then i guess he missed Rose the first
and bullied Rose the second.

Rose was put into the other cage.
She doesn't mind being picked up much,
and her fur was as soft as silk.

Rose has grayish white fur,
and I'm guessing she spent her whole life in the vet.
She had her first hop in the garden,
and i think she liked it.

We are planting a rose plant in our garden,
in remembrance of Rose.

BYE ROSE
