Thank you all for you lovely comments, Messages, emails and ecards. I just wanted to thank you for them and to let you know that I am gradually replying to them, it may take a while between the tears and trying to keep busy so I don't keep crying.....I don't want to keep crying all the time.
Life without Speedy is sad and lonely. The House seems empty and has lost its spark. I can't bare to clean out Speedy's sleep den or his play are in the kitchen right now, I just miss him so much that I just can't do that final job.
Speedy was Buried in the garden he loves to play in, in front of the little apple tree that he tried to chew on. A fitting place for him I think.
As for his Blog well that will stay up, as will all his other social media. Will I continue to post....I don't know...Maybe after all we still have the Hedgehogs to keep you up to date with and of course Bird the Jackdaw whos still comes everyday to feed out of my hand and the mouse family that lives in the front garden who shares stuff with the hedgehogs...plus all the other birds that come to visit. We even had a new visitor today a young squirrel...never seen one before in my garden...though I am sure it has probably been before as it knew where the bird table in the tree was. The squirrel was a bit nervous so who knows if we will see it again, I hope so.
Will we get another bunny or another pet? I don't know...I do but Hubby is not sure we will see what the future holds....right now we are too sad, Maybe I'll get fed up with the sadness and put my foot down and make hubby let us have another pet...we will see. But for now I will leave you with the video of me feeding Bird the Jackdaw from a few weeks ago....
I am so sorry. I feel your loss. Sending lots of hugs and love.

We had the same feelings when our beloved Mr Wiggles passed on.Then we saw 2 Easter dumps that were in a Rhode island shelter a month later and rescued them.it turned about to be the best decision. For them and us.

Sending comforting thoughts.
ReplyDeleteWe understand the sadness and the quiet is not fun at all. Hugs from all of us.
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting us all know how you and your hubby are doing. We will always love our friend Speedy, and are sending you love, purrs, and prayers now and forever.
ReplyDeleteYou like birds! Good for you.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my heart and on my mind. I love y’all.

ReplyDeleteOne day at a time. One step, one breath.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the quietness in the house is unsettling. Even when sleeping, pets add an energy to the home that is dearly missed when they're gone. And putting away their things is difficult and can only be done when you're ready. We saved each cats' favorite toy and keep it safe. I hope you continue to share information about the hedgehogs and other critters in your garden. Purrs to you and your hubby.
ReplyDeleteThis is never an easy time. We are sending you warm hugs.
ReplyDelete❤️ so sorry for your loss. We know the feeling after First losing Vaks 4 years ago and Laika who we lost september 2020. Now we have two resuces, Dudi and Siku. Two wonderful small dogs.

ReplyDeleteI completely understand the emptiness and sadness...too well.......my heart is breaking for you. Take all of the time you need. I STILL am not over losing Cody and Dakota and frankly, as their year anniversary rapidly approaches it has gotten worse. It's most of the reason I haven't blogged for nearly a month. The quiet is so hard. It took me awhile to put some of Dakota's things away...someone told me to wait a month, there is some theory that their soul will stay with you if you leave the items with you for a month untouched. Sending you much love and (((hugs))) always here for you....there will never, ever be another bunny like Speedy (((hugs))))
ReplyDeleteSending you comforting purrz. You will know when you're ready to add to your family. Speedy might send you a clue.
ReplyDeleteTake your time...I understand your grief...big hugs. ~Island Cat Mom
ReplyDeleteOf course you are still grief-stricken. Speedy's loss was huge. I'm sure whatever decisions you make will be the right one for you. Purrs to you.
ReplyDeleteSending love to you. Speedy always put such a smile on my face, bless him 💓
ReplyDeleteJust heard - so sad. Take care - so many fine memories ..
ReplyDeleteMay you find a way to live with your grief. Hugs.
ReplyDeleterachel; it's going to take time; speedy left on mark on all of us; and left a bigger mark on you and nick....you don't get over the loss of a family member; it just gets a bit easier. we know speedy would not want you to be sad, but sadly; you have to BE sad in order to get PAST sad. you both have to take your own time with this; just know we are all here for you ♥♥♥♥♥ laura
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel, I am so glad that you posted. I have been wondering how you are. And I do hope you will continue letting us know about Jack Daw and the Hedge Hogs,and you too!
ReplyDeleteI know there is a raw, Speedy sized hole in your heart, and I can tell you that all kinds of things will reopen that wound, but I can also tell you that life will get easier. The pain will become bearable - most of the time. I still see Nellie out of the corner of my eye and I know that she inhabits the house. She comes to me when I don't expect it and she tells me when she wants to speak on the blog. You may find that happens for you too. But take your time and know that I love you and support you and am here for you. Sending you virtual hugs and strength. Barb
It really does hurt our hearts so much when our little furry ones leave us. So empty and quiet.
ReplyDeleteIt took me ages to clean up Pipo's things, last fall...
Sending you many tight hugs.
((((( ♥ )))))
We're sending you lots of love and hugs. Speedy left his paw prints on your heart, and we hope they can bring you comfort.
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of distant reiki healing energy hugs ~ Speedy is watching over you and treasure the memories ~ that is the gift once we heal from the immediate sadness of the loss of Speedy ~ Xo

We know you are sad about missing Speedy, but he had so much Life in him, and that was because you gave him so much to love about his life. You are special, and blessed with the ability to connect with animals. It would not serve Speedy's memory not to bring another bunny into your lives who would benefit from everything that made Speedy the best bunny we ever knew. Yes, take time to grieve. But when the pain warms to a soft glow, bless another amazing bunny out there with the gift of a home. We all know he won't be another Speedy, but that's okay, because that bunny will be himself, and just as awesome as Speedy was. Love and purrs, Herman and Dori, and mom Kim
ReplyDeleteI think the squirrelygig was sent as a messenger from Speedy to let you know he is OK and that he will always love you. Hugs.
