We had to help Goldie into the Bunny-beyond on Friday afternoon. Goldie has had cataracts for quite awhile and has been fully blind for a few weeks, although for the most part she knew her way around her living areas and Benji. But in the past few days she began to be listless, not eat much, and lost control of her bodily functions. It was very hard and sad to just keep her clean and comfortable. In the long run it is for the very best, for now just incredibly sad and empty. 
We got Goldie and her brother Bluie, as babies, 8 1/2 years and more ago. American fuzzy lops. Bluie had a congenital issue, and though we gave him almost daily anti-biotic shots and periodic hydration treatments, he lived well for several years.
There will never be another Goldie.

RG and BL, there is an ineffable peace across the Bridge, but it is also filled with bunnyness. Goldie is probably regaling her old and new friends with descriptions of her HOR haircuts. Do not be sad. A life of giving and receiving, receiving and giving great gifts, a life lived in an embrace of love, you all proving yourselves the kindest and most dutiful and Goldie thus allowed to be her bunniest is not to be mourned, and yet we do. Peace be with you and all of Goldie's bunny comrades at HOR.
She is forever beautiful and healthy now. She can see clearly, she has no more pain. She is with Bluie and all the other HOR rabbits that have passed into the next life. Nose rubs to Benji and you and BL, too.
I am so sorry to hear that Goldie has left you. She was a dear, sweet, soul.
I am so very sorry to hear about dear sweet Goldie. We send you many purrs and hugs.

I always saw Goldie as a particular soulmate of yours, RG. We'll all miss her very much.

I'm so sorry to hear about Goldie. She was a special lady, for sure. Sending nose rubs to Benji.
Our hearts are breaking for you. We know how hard it is to have one who has left paw prints on our hearts leave us. You are in our thoughts.
sending you hugs. it is always sad when a furiend goes over the bridge!
I'm so sorry. I only have one bunny and for less then a year now, but I can't imagine what it would be like to lose her. I really believe that Goldie is in a better face, with all of her vision and binking away with bunny friends. R.I.P.
Just popped over from Speedy's to send you big doggie kisses.
So sorry to hear your sad news xx
I'm so sorry to hear of yet another HOR rabbit making the trip across the bridge. You two have been wonderful caregivers to all these bunz. And even with all the disapproval they all know how lucky they have been to live with you RG & BL. Many tears and hugs for all of you.
I'm so sorry to hear about sweet Goldie:( She will be missed by all. Thinking of you guys!
I am so, so sorry for your loss. She was such a beauty and seemed very sweet as well. I will miss her sweet face. Hugs to you and BL and Benji. :*-(
Oh no! My heart aches for you two, I still miss Hef everyday, hugs!
So sorry to hear the news. So hard to make that decision, but the kindest thing you could do under the circumstances. She was a beautiful bunny and I'm sure she was grateful everyday that she could call you house her home.
Oh, RG... I just barely saw this post and I have tears in my eyes. I am so sorry for loss...
Every bunny that leaves us takes a big piece of our heart with them.
Binky free, Goldie <3
