Yesterday morning, our dear Benjamin left this world for a better place where he won't suffer any more.

We love you and miss you, Benji-boo. You brought us a lot of happiness and laughter in the five years we had together.

I have a cat that has cancer and who will probaly have to be put down before Thanksgiving. 2 Christmases ago, I had to put down my best animal friend ever (my cat Jack).

He had a protozoa infection that most pet rabbits carry, but usually their immune systems can keep in in check. He was a rescue bunny and had a hard first year of life, plus was probably inbred, so it finally got the best of him. He'd been going downhill rapidly & we think he had a stroke early Sunday - it affects the brain & nervous system. It was a very hard decision, but e took him to be euthanized because he couldn't control his muscles or eat.; October 31, 2008 at 9:18 PM
