I posted a few days ago of my girl, Snow, and her days coming to an end. Today, I made the very hard call of giving her peace. And I am torn apart.


I have never had to do this type of thing. I struggled with the idea of euthanasia. But she wasn't living anymore. She couldn't move anymore. I couldn't watch her suffer anymore. So I made the call to give her peace, to go over the Rainbow Bridge. To join her brothers, Luna, Stanley, and Roger, and her sister, Boo. I am essentially away, questioning if this was the right thing to do, what if there was a chance of her pulling through, or what if this was wrong. My heart is broken.

  1. I don’t have any answers or any wisdom to make this easier…it’s just heart-wrenchingly difficult even if you know it’s the right thing – but am sharing in your sorrow ❤️ Snow was a beautiful girl and you’ll always love her, and she knows ❤️

    It was your final measure of love for Snow to do this for her. You did the right thing by her. I’m so sorry for the heartache you’re feeling. Think of the love you shared. And what a blessing it is you had each other.

    Not everyone can make such an unselfish decision.

    I have kept over 60 rabbits in my lifetime and I would like to tell you that you made the right decision at the right time. When they get to the point of falling over and not being able to get up again, it’s the end. I’m sorry for your loss but you made an incredible act of selfless love.

    I’ve been a veterinary nurse for ten years. In that time, I’ve witnessed countless euthanasias — and not a single one that wasn’t the right choice. As her person, what you felt wasn’t just a conscious thought; it was something deeper, something rooted in your soul. Never doubt that.

    Read that again.

    You did right by your girl. You gave her mercy and grace. You gave her dignity in her final moments. You gave her true, honest, unconditional love. Death is never fair, and it feels so drastic because it is the great divider — but remember that this division is *temporary*. She will always be with you, and one day you will meet again.

    Until then, live for her. Experience life for her. Let her shine through you in every moment of the rest of your life. That is the beautiful honor we are given as their people. Be proud of that.
