I put 3B’s Bonehead to sleep last night.
He was my first French lop I ever bought, and he was truly just the most lovely buck I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning.
He was in semi retirement as a pet/ breeder but this past month, I had noticed his weight was going down and he was starting to have issues with his eye again and as badly as I wanted him to stay, I knew it wasn’t fair to make him tough it out another winter in the cold in his condition. You could just see it in his face that he was tired. So Sunday evening he had a long turn out on the grass, lots of love and then he was gone.
I’m keeping his hole empty for the foreseeable future, in honor of him and what he gave me. If you’ve bought a French lop from me, Bone head is on the pedigree.
Sometimes those hard calls need to be made, doesn’t make it any easier.
