WINSTON 2006 - 2013
We had to have Winston euthanized today. About 6 weeks ago he began favoring his left front paw. After watching it for a bit, and seeing no improvement, he went to our veterinarian who took x-rays and discovered a tumor growing under Winnie's left shoulder. He told us it was probably malignant, was painful, was beginning to affect his lungs, would continue to grow and there was no way to fix it. He told us we could give Winnie a lot of Meta-cam and see how it goes. And we did that but it grew and grew to where our boy could almost no longer get around and could not take care of himself - he was a constant mess. He stayed as spunky as ever with a good appetite but it was just too much for him and for us. How we will miss him.
Here are some older pictures, one with his mate Lucky from when he was still alive.
We are going to take a couple of days off here and get our heads and hearts back together. I know how much you all thought of Winnie-Pooh-Pooh.

Oh, how awful. I'm so sorry. You gave him such a wonderful life. I'm so glad I got to see him one last time.
You are some of the finest bunny parents ever. Winnie had a great life with you, and I am so glad you shared him with us. Living on Metacam is no life. It is hard to let go, but you did what was best.
Love on the rest of the HOR, and be at peace. We all love you guys and I know we are all praying for BL and RG and KB. And of course, the bunns.
Binky free of pain, Winston, and have fun getting reacquainted with your old pals.
Our thoughts prayers and love are with you,Thanks you for giving Winston and all the buns a wonderful life.
Winston Binky Free Baby boy we will see you again!
With all our love Speedy and Rachel
Winston, thank you so much for all the good times. Binky free, Little Man, binky free. We are going to miss you so much. I know you are in a really good place, it's just that we wanted more time with you here. Take our love with you and go in peace.
I know Captain Winston will forever sail in your heart, pain free and paws full of mischief.
I'm so sorry. I know he and Lucky are getting into all sorts of mischief together on the other side of the bridge. Light, love and hugs to you all.
So very sorry.....bunnies have a way of enriching our lives and breaking our hearts. He was a sweet one.
Oh no! I'm so, so, so sorry!
All our thoughts (both bunny and human) are with you.
We'll miss you, Winston, but we'll see you again someday.
Nose bumps to your humans from both me & Betsy.
So very sorry! How vulnerable our hearts are to paw prints. There's another addition to the bright side of the Rainbow Bridge.
