🌈❤️Binky free sweet little Sourdough. We'll always be grateful to Valerie and Zach for giving you the best life.
"I adopted Sourdough in 2020, right before lockdown, and I’ll always be beyond grateful for that time. I found so much joy in spoiling him rotten. He slowly came out of his shell and loved finding nooks and crannies to explore. I set up little spots for him all over my home—on the bottom shelf of my nightstand, beside my bed, under my desk—because before long, he was following me everywhere.
Before he was a year old, Sourdough was diagnosed with cardiomegaly and arthritis. Over the years, he also developed dental disease and cataracts. I always worried he might not have a long life because he had lost the genetic lottery. Instead, he pushed through three surgeries and extensive aftercare, bouncing back every time. He became so used to being handled that he was completely unfazed when I attacked him with kisses while he was eating. 😂 He loved running between our legs while we exercised in the living room, and thanks to my COVID routine, he came to expect treats whenever he saw a yoga mat.
"Bonding with his girlfriend, Milktea, turned him into a little troublemaker. He claimed most of our living room couch for himself, and we were happy to give it to him. Once, he went missing at work and we finally found him cozy inside a radiator—which we had to take apart to get him out.
"Even when he was battling a respiratory infection and constantly sneezing, he continued hopping around and exploring the emergency room. He never let his illnesses slow him down until the very end.
"We had hoped Sourdough and Milktea would come down the aisle with us for their own little ceremony. But one week before our wedding, Sourdough passed away peacefully overnight at the hospital.
"My heart is broken. I truly thought of Sourdough as family, and more specifically, as my baby. As my first bunny, he will always have a special place in my heart. He could always make me smile, even when times were tough. He was a cute little dork, with the softest, most kissable fur and the biggest heart.
He was my angel in life, and my angel now. ❤️🐰
