Hans has left us.
I can’t begin to describe how much it hurts. I can’t believe my baby boy is gone.
I gave him his injection. A few seconds later, he went limp, let out a few soft breaths, shuddered a little and then he was gone. The injection went as usual, he didn’t flinch, didn’t feel a thing. But then it made him leave us. I don’t know what went wrong but it has to be something to do with the injection. I’m so sorry, Hans. .
We love you so very much and always will. Rest in peace sweetheart.

Hans, forever and ever in our hearts

Hi Furrybutts,
I LOVE reading about your beloved bunners. I am sooo sad to hear about sweet Hans. You were GREAT parents for taking such good care of him. He loved you VERY much.
I am so sorry for your loss. I’m going to give my begrudging bunny a big hug and a kiss on his sweet head tonight.
Lots of Love,
Sarah and Simon [the bunny]
I am so sooo sorry for your loss.
We are so sorry about your beloved Hans. We know you are heartbroken!
Soft purrs and tail wags.
I’m in tears right now. Hansy was a favorite of mine and though I’m not a bunner I read a lot about caring for them and I sincerely believe that you’re a great bun mum. No one could have cared for him better than you did.
Sending many, many schnozzle bumpies and kisses,

Oh, honey, I am so sorry. We are sad with you. It is hard and heartbreaking, we do the best we can, and love them more than we thought possible, and still……still something we cannot have planned for comes disrupts our best laid plans. We add our tears for Hans to your beautiful ones.
hugs,

We’re so very, very sorry. We know how much you loved Hans, and how wonderfully you cared for him.

Oh no, I am so terribly sorry for your lose. Our greatest sympathys.
Oh I really hate to hear this too, my heart hurts from the inside with you all. All our love and purrs from Brian, Sascha, Gracie & Zoe.
Oh no, i’m so sorry.
Seems like you gave him a great life while he was with you though, so think of the good times.
No!!! Oh, Hans, we love you so much! Such a brave, sweet boy. He got dealt a bad hand with those teeth, but he was so lucky to have your love and darling Bailey for a best bunny-buddy.
You did everything right for him. I’m crying now and Hans will be forever in my memories. I just know your boy is binking with my Tidbit at the Bridge. Too soon. So not fair.
<3 to you and your warren. I suspect the injection was just stress of injection + illness, I doubt you did anything wrong.
There's a lot of platitudes I could offer, but please know you and your buns are in my heart and I think we all have walked down the path of a loss of a heart bun.. and we all know how much it hurts and basically just sucks.
Here's to you little Hans! Enjoy terrorizing the bigger bunnies at the bridge.
Oh, no! We are so sorry for the loss of your beloved Hans! He was such a brave little bun. He will remain in our memories!
I’m so so sorry for you loss. *hugs* from me and my crew. If there is anything I can do please let me know. He is up binkying at the bridge with my Gracie and all the other bridge bunnies. You did everything you could for him, you are a wonderful bunny mom.
Oh I’m so sorry! Anya will be waiting for him at the Bridge…..
So sad to hear about Hans.
Please don’t blame yourself or his treatments. He was very sick and was surely trying to stick it out for you. He’s a lucky bunny that he got to pass away at home with someone who loved him.
I am so sorry for your loss.
My wife and I lost our precious Tidbit a few months back, and it was very painful for us. I know how you feel.
Sounds like you did all you could do and I’m sure Hans knew it and loved you for it.
My condolences from Pixel, Cadbury, Bunnygirl, and myself.
I’m so shocked and saddened by this news. I am horrified that this happened. I have been reading about your bunnies for almost a year now and felt like I knew them even though you live a world away from me. You do such a wonderful job conveying your bunnies personalities and you are the best bunny mom there could be. My thoughts are with you and Hans.

We are so very sorry for your loss of little Hans, you did the best you could do for him but sometimes God has other plans for our fur babies. I know the feeling, the hurt to lose them is unbearable, My first bunny Fudgey is there at the rainbow bridge and I’m sure him and Hans will become fast friends while they wait for us….(( BIG HUGS))
Oh no! I loved little Hans too! I am sure you did your best for him and we will all miss him.
i’m so, so so sorry to hear this =( our hearts go out to you, Bailey, and the rest of your family. Hans was such a brave, sweet little bun! i’ve read your blog for almost a year now, i’m so sorry for your loss =( At least we know that he did not leave in any pain, i guess that God just had other plans. we are praying for your family during this time. =(
Maisy&Daisy, and myself
Extremely sorry to read this. Binky free little Hans. You’ll have many friends when you get to rainbow bridge.
[...] the moment. One of my dearest bunny friends lost one of her rabbits today. Many have known Hans of furrybutts.wordpress.com and I am lost for words to learn that he left us [...]
This is too sad.
Hugs to little Hans and to you Mom Bun.
oh my gosh i am SO SORRY
i know how it feels to lose a bun so suddenly and it’s devastating. i cannot imagine how bad you feel but you must know it wasn’t your fault, you were caring for your boy and loving him so perfectly.
hans was my fav sorry to pick favorites but he was. i know you will miss him deeply. i will pray for you. it’s so hard
but you loved him and took the best care of him possible.
Hop free in fields of endless sunshine, sweet grass and, of couse, oats. We’ll miss you little man.
O, we’s so sorry to hear about sweet Hans.
I’s posted a memorial to him on tha Cat Blogosphere fur Thursday.
I know mine Bear haf greeted him at tha Bridge, too. He’s got lots of furriends there.
Love,
KC
Oh dear,
i’m so so sorry. i really dont know what to say,…hans was such a beautiful, perfect little bunny. a true gentleman. please do give bailey a hug for me.
Eli
OH NO!!!! Our poor Hans, we followed your whole progress from the day you were brought home. I am so sorry for the poor guy! It is always so tough when we lose a pet…now I am sobbing..I guess all those drugs didn’t do wonder for his poor body. RIP Hans, you will forever be in our heart. much love…M
I’m so sorry to hear about Hans, especially when he left so suddenly.
I’m sure that it wasn’t your fault, you did your best for Hans to get better; & that Hans decided it was a better resolution for him and for his always-caring bunny-mom. Only Hans knew how he was feeling & he probably stayed around longer just for you.
I hope that you & Bailey will feel better.
I am so sorry to hear about Hans. You did everything in your power to give him the best life. It is not your fault and I definitely believe without a loving bunny mom like you he would have had a much shorter stay this side of the bridge. I am sure he is happy and having a great time with all of our dear departed friends. Hugs and nose bumps.
[...] Sweet Hans, of Furrybutts, unexpectedly went to the Bridge yesterday. Please send lots of purrs, grrs and purrayers to his family, who are all brokenhearted. [...]
I am so sorry to hear this..I am a silent reader of your blog and Hans is my personal favorite one among all. I feel sad when he is not well..but I thought he can survive…he is truly a gem..I understand how sad it is for you
and I cried when looking at him in this blog knowing he is gone
He will be binking around with joy at the Bunny paradise
He won’t suffer anymore ache there…
He will remember all the joy and sacrifices that u have made for him…
He will always love you…
Condolonces from me
Hi, Cat Mom here, please don’t blame yourself. I don’t even know you yet but I’m sure, from just reading this post, you did the best you could. Sending you Mom hugs during this sad time.
Oh Hans … Oh people. So sad. Gosh .. look how many knew and followed and enjoyed little Hans. Such a lucky bunn!
A smile came on my face when my rss reader told me you wrote a new entry to your blog. That smile immediately faded away when I saw that poor litte Hans went over the bridge.
Oh dear… you’ll miss him so much. Life sometimes just isn’t fair. The most loved bunns die first. One day you’ll be able to remember him, making binkies in your mind, without shredding tears.
I’m very sorry for your loss.

I am so very sorry about dear Hans. I have seen a bunny go to the bridge once after an injection so please feel free to email me if you need to talk, when you are ready.
You were doing your best for him and he knows that. Please try and take some comfort in that.
Godspeed on your journey to the Summer lands Hans

I am teary as I write… I didnn’t expect Hans would go so soon. My condolences… I’ve lost a bunny before so I know what you are going through. Be strong for poor Bailey too. He needs you now.

Dear Hans, binky free in wonderful heaven, baby…
It’s a shock. Oh, I couldn’t stop my tears right now…
We miss u, always…
I am so very sorry, I came over from Diva Kitty’s blog. Blessings to you all.
I’m so sorry about what has happened. Hans a short life, but I think he was very lucky to have found you and the furrybutts.
I’m crying with you. I’ve been following Hans and the fuzzy bunch every day and still will. Your broken heart has company. They are so delicate, our little ones. You are a wonderful bun parent and never doubt that.
So sorry to hear about Hans leaving this world and I can only offer words of comfort to say that he is now watching over you.
Arabella and Wesley and I send our hearfelt love and warmth and remember Hans bravery and fighting spirit.
I just found your blog and read about Hans. I am a bunny mom, as well, and it broke my heart to hear your sweet bun has left you. I’m so sorry for both of you! I don’t know what to say, but do take comfort from your other bunny babies.
i’ve been a silent reader of your blog for quite a time now, and i’m so sorry for your loss,i read about it last night and fell asleep holding my baby bun. so sorry again.
There are no words I can give to you to ease your pain. I wish there were because your heart must feel as though it is cold as ice and will never feel the same again. Please know that you are close to my heart in prayer.
May Hans rest in peace~..
i’m so sorry for ur loss..binky free little one…
I am so sorry that Hans has left you so suddenly. I feel sure that you did nothing wrong, so don’t blame yourself. You did everything you could for him, but sometimes that just isn’t enough to keep our beloved furries with us.
It is the saddest thing ever to have a bunkid leave us – especially when so suddenly as with Hans, and it hurts so much we feel like we are never going to feel well ever again. And the pain lingers on, as days pass, but it also slowly weakens with time, only to be renewed by our thoughts of guilt and all the “If I…” we can think of…
I wish there was some comfort I could give you, but having been there all too often in the past I know that it won’t matter what I say and write – give it time, and try to find comfort and solace from Buttons, Yohji and Bailey – especially Bailey, who is now on his own and will be missing his little brother very much.
Hans was a very brave and lucky bun, he had the best home he could have wished for, although not for long enough as we all would have liked it.
Binky free, little Hans… do hop to Hugo and give him a kiss from me, and tell him to show you where the best dandelions are. He knows… x
I am sooooo sorry snuggle the other buns – our thoughts and prayers are with you
Oh no! I am so so so sorry. Hans was such a sweet little bun. Sending lots of hugs to you. We’re keeping you in our thoughts at this difficult time.
Love,
Erin, Andy, Pumpkin & Patch, Chloe and Henry
sniffle…
We are so sorry for your loss. RIP Hans.
Hans is gone? I’m so sorry! That is so sad… RIP Hans. You will always be in our hearts…
I highly doubt it was your fault… I’ve heard that penicillin was really bad for rabbits, but I didn’t know it was that bad. Don’t feel bad about it, I’m sure you did nothing wrong with the injection.
We just got back from vacation and read your sad news. We’re so sorry that little Hans had to go. You did everything you could to help Hans through his troubles. He knew that you loved him and wanted the best for him. He had a great life. Please give Bailey, Buttons, and Yohji extra hugs from us.
We’re so sorry that you’ve lost your little buddy. Sending gentle purrs and headbutts to comfort you all,
{{{hugs}}}
Gypsy & Tasha
oh no…sorry to hear that RIP my baby HANS…we love u and will always love u…
I was so sorry to hear about Hans’s death…have not been to your site before but Glenna at Eye of the Needle mentioned his passing. I just want to say that you are a wonderful bun mom and Hans was lucky to be with you in the all too short time that he had. I hope that you will be comforted by fond memories of his sweet furry self.
I am so sorry. I share my tears with you and I know all to well how your heart is aching right now. These precious fragile creatures we love. Each day with them is such a gift. Hans was loved and well cared for and had the most wonderful home with you. He’s met up with Chloe on the Rainbow Bridge and they are talking about how much we loved them.
Sending hugs for your heart.

I’m so sad to hear about Hans. May he binky free. I love reading about the adventures of the bunnies in your home and found Hans and Bailey particularly adorable. I’ve a soft spot for NDs. Again, very sad to hear about Hans.
I found your blog through another blog I was reading. I am SO sorry to hear about Hans
I can certainly feel your pain and emptiness because a few months ago I lost my friend of 11 years. I got Dill Pickles from the SPCA when he was only a few months old and he’s lived with us since.
Pickles was never a sick bunny, until the end. We’re not sure what happened and even the vet was at a loss. I chose the most humane thing to do although it was one of the hardest. I miss him dearly and want another bunny very badly but DH wants to wait. Before Pickles I had a bunny named Scooter and he lived just short of his 7th birthday.
Sending you lots of bunny hugs!
I am so sorry for your loss. You’ve already done your best so I hope u will not ponder over what went wrong for too long. Hans would not like to see you and your hubby sad over him…
Take care,
June, Mickey, Noobie, Boo and Swarley
My heart goes out to you!! It’s the hardest thing in the world to lose a bun. I understand.
Your sweet boy is over the Bridge with all of our dear bunnies, binkying in fields of dandelion and cilantro : )
Hugs and nose nudges to you,
Elle, Hudson and Honey

good day sweetheart,
or i hope it is a little bit with all the bunny bun love bombs going off in your honor! we are thinking of you daily and still sending prayers…just very quietly though in case you’re sleeping.
much love from us all!!!
I just fell onto your blog, and wanted to offer you my condolences on the loss of your Hans. I am sure that there was nothing that you did wrong with the injection. I agree that sub-q are dastardly difficult to give, but I don’t think that it woudl have killed him.
Wishing you peace of heart and lots of happy memories.
[...] re-live those last few minutes with her, in my remembrance and understanding, here is my entry for Hans. Please note that not all the photos are from my kiddos. The first is a photo that Shalyn shared [...]
I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs.
This makes me so sad. What an adorable fellow he was. Having lost my family pets in the past, I understand how painful this is. They are truly members of the family in every way. You were lucky to have this little guy in your life – I know what joy he must have provided. My sympathies go out to you and your family.

I didn’t now
I am so sorry for your loss,
from our sweetie Hans !!!
I feel myself sad at the moment,
I am soooooo late ,sorry !!
sorry to know this, got a shiock..
feeling so sad..
Oh no!!! We will all miss little Hans. Im sorry he had to leave so soon. He is watching over you now. Some of my bunnies are up there at Rainbow Bridge, frolicking with Hans. R.I.P Little Hans, me and my bunny family miss you so much!
Your bunny boy is smiling at you from Bunny Heaven, grateful to have lived with you.
Rest in peace, Hans.
Hans is very cute. I feel sorry for you. I have a rabbit myself. But I can’t train him to listen to me. and my dad does not like him. My mom hates him more than my dad! And worst of all, my brother is allergic to him!
