LABBE


Here is a shrine dedicated to my dear rabbit labbe!
Labbe (i think) is 9 years old I got him in 2015 when the family dog died (rip tass). Of all other animal pets i have lived with i feel most connected to Labbe- Labbe feels mine yuknow?


Labbe is a very stubborn, relaxed and protective rabbit. My dad got the sweet idea of putting his Border Collie loose around when Labbe was loose as well. Labbe did not move and the Collie just stared and followed labbe. Labbe stompet and the Collie moved away lol. Labbe tells when he wants something- he used to follow to the kitchen and nib at our feet to show that he wanted something.

Labbe has done a lot! I took him with me to a pizza restaurant alone with my playmates. He has been chased by dogs (scary). Chased away big birds (perhaps ill put down a vid somehwere). Walked loose in nature. Been to a farm. Joined a picknick. Joined me to dig snow holes. Moved here and there. Completed hours of ball and baloon humping. Played tag with me in the garden. Eaten grandmas papers


When I was a kid I struggeled to sleep alone. I would lay wide awake, too afraid to close my eyes, for hours and I would beg to not sleep alone. I hated to sleep alone and I would always scare myself with scary thoughts. My dad got the great idea to move the rabbit cage with Labbe inside in front of my bed so i could look at labbe and fall asleep that way. It is very satisfying and calming to watch an animal mining its own buisness. It worked and now I have learnt to sit with my fears untill I get tiered of it and move on.
When i used to sit on my bed and play games Labbe would often and annoyingly jump up, nibble on my blanket and asked for me to pet him. Many times i have ended up playing Owerwatch/minecraft/genshin with Labbe around my elbow. Yes, he has pissed countless of times in my bed LOL- annoying and stinky- solvement has been to put thick paper and given him his own piss-blanket so he could still stay beside me on my bed/sofa.
When i walked around in the house he used to waddle after me (even to the toilet lol). Even when i ran around in the garden(or inside) he would run after me and when i went to sleep or sat in my bed playing games he would jump up on my bed; it got so bad I had to put boards up so i could sleep peacefully.

My step mother once had to take care of Labbe alone so one day she went upstairs to find him dead! HA! kidding, he was just all relaxy-sleepy position. I think rabbits tend to do that when they feels safe/secure. Its like the ultimate chill position i suppouse. Here is some fun pics of him looking dead; (Wenever i see these i just imagine the (DEAD) meme coing up jahah):

How is labbe now?
Since i moved i cannot hagout as much with labbe as i did before, and my mother is busy. He lays around a lot now and moves very little. He seems to be drinking more than before and has gotten a lot thinner...He is picky about his food and i dont know if it is because of his age that he has gotten so thin or because of something else. My mom says he eats normally and it is just his age. But i dont know...
My mom tells me his time is very soon up- ill document my encounters with him from now on
17.11.2024
Came to visit him today. A very short trip. My mom dont want to care for him anymore and i can tell she just wants him to die so she wouldnt have more work. His infection (a common one among aging rabbits, she told me) has subsided, but i dont know if it is hurting him. He moves away when my hand come too close and i can tell it is a bit unconfortable, but that shouldnt be enough to give him the vets syringe? His fur is short, ruffy,old-looking and dry. He moves little and jumps wierdly. I stopped petting him and he laid beside me for a while til i had to leave. My parents says hes on overtime. Internett says Dwarf Rabbits can get 10 years old, labbe is 9, but i skimmed trough somewhere that said they could be 12- or was it just for other kinds of rabbits? I dont know. I want to have days where i can be with him. Weekends are starting to seem full as i am also looking for a part-time job and studies are getting a bit tougher. Its holydays soon though, and soon on the holydays i can move back home and be with him again. (Picture: Post when the image will download)

Idk october His skin has gotten very dry, with a changing pelt and he has some wierd infectuous thing on his eye. We put cream on it that has worked before so i hope it will get better.
Labbe still jumps torwards me when he notices me and asks for pettings. I dont know if he would still follow me since my mother got tiered of him being all over the house so she put him in a room.
My mom tells me to prepare for his death anytime now. I dont feel ready for that, it feels like he is going to live with me forever. I always ask how labbe is doing, sometimes i even notice that i miss him. No, im not ready for that, hes gonna live a little longer. Im going to get home soon again, ill be with him then.

I think labbe has lead a somewhat lonely life, i cannot remember him meeting any other rabbit. We brought him alone. Im no exspert but it feels like hes been lonely a lot yuknow? Quiet and long days when i am gone and when my mother is working. Just him and the whole house with my moms dog, but they dont hangout much. It hurts to imagine his loneliness, but when i think about it i imagine his loneliness as mine; or worse- but human, how would loneliness be to a rabbit, i dont know.
(suppouse ill put it here since i hope anyone close wont see this) I used to feel reeeeeeaaaalllyy alone and sad before, labbe was there and he licked away my tears and then i felt a little better and feeling how silly i was for thinking how alone i was when i had my rabbit
