No other rabbit was as cute and as sweet as him. Every day with him was a blessing. When we first got Stewie,he was so big and cute. We got him from my religion teacher, Robbin, who couldn't keep him anymore because her daughter was allergic to him. His best friend was Baily, a dog who was also very sweet and loved Stewie. Stewie's origianal name was Pez. That's what Robbin named him. But my father, and all of us liked Stewie better. He was very loved, but there was only one thing, he needed a good friend. So about a year later, we wen't to the pet store, The Pet Den, and bought Maggie. She was just a baby, 2 months old. At first, Stewie didn't like her because she got all of the attention for a while. But he still new that he was loved. But soon later, they grew on eachother, and every chance they got, they cuddled up together. All of us gave them an eaqual amount of love and attention. This wen't on for about two years, then something scared us. Maggie got sick. She was very clogged up. She had a lot of poop in her system, and it needed to be pushed out quick. The vet told us to give her pineapple juice to break up the poop, water to keep her hydrated, and apples to let her poop. Thank fully, soon enough, everything got better. She was happy, and looked a lot better, she was pooping, and drinking again. One day, I noticed that Stewie wasn't eating or pooping, or drinking. We all figured that he was just jelouse of Maggie because she got all of the attention for a while. But then his stomach started expanding. You could feel his intestints. They were huge. So we called the vet, and they told us that we have to do, what we did with Maggie. So we gave him pineapple juice, water, and apples. But it wasn't working. So we spent hours and hours of looking up solutions on Google.com. We finally had one. It said to give him baby food (apple), infint gas drops, and we have to rele press hard and massage his stomach. We did that everyday, and he started pooping a little. So we wen't back to the vet, and took an X-ray. Stewie had seven clups of poop in his system. This was worse then Maggie's. They were so big, and so was his stomach. I stayed home from school on a friday, and massaged his stomach every 3 minutes. My mom told me to invite someone over to get my mind off of it. When my friend Elizabeth came over, I told her what had happened. We had fun for a while, until we came downstairs. I wen't in my room to get changed, and Elizabeth told me that he made a poop. I got excited and hurried over to him. He made two huge clumps of poop (which was all seven put together). Finally everything was normal again. Maggie and Stewie started eating and pooping again. This wen't on for two weeks, then something happened again. We noticed that Stewie wasn't eating, pooping, or drinking again. But his stomach wasn't that big, and it wasn't hard at all. So we thought," we got him through worse." On a saturday about 2 in the morning, I fell asleep and forgot to give him his medicine. SO I jumped up, took him out of his cage, and tried to give him his medicine. Then i noticed something strange again, Stewie wasn't controlling his head, or his neck. So I hurried up to my mother, and told her. She told me to let him walk on the floor, but he couldn't walk. He was trying so hard. He got weaker and weaker. My mother and I were sobbing. My mother told me that i should wrap him up in a blanket, and hold him close to my heart. So, I did, and every minute, he would jump up in pain. I was so scared for him. Finally, he started screaming out of no where. My mother told me to put him down on the floor, so I did. As he was taking his last breaths, I told him that it was okay, You could go Stewie, it's okay, I will always love you, It's okay to let go, I love you. Then, he did what I said, and let go. My mother and i were crying for him for a long time. Like I said, every day was a blessing, and no could ever love a rabbit, as much as we loved him.
