I spent my last night with my precious boy Schmichael. I knew in my heart that it was to be our last night, but I so hoped and prayed that Simon was wrong! That he could be made better. The thought that he couldn't be, was just too unbearable! In fact I never posted in Rainbow Bridge because that would've made it real.

Only a couple of weeks before I had lay in bed, watching my special boy sat in my bedroom doorway and had thought, how many people can say they are guarded by a rabbit as they sleep? What a huge honour!

Schmichael came into my life on 29th July 2005 and made the biggest impact ever. How could a little bunny steal my heart in such a huge way? He was my constant companion. He sulked if I went out for the evening and left him! I can't begin to explain how much I loved him and still love him!

Although you are gone from my touch, I know you are guarding all the piggies at Rainbow Bridge and will never be far away!

That year has passed so quickly, do you think my Sonny could be Schmichael reincarnated? He was born nearly a year ago and he guards his girlies and is such a charmer! I think he could be.

RIP Lovely boy, gone but never forgotten xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I'm honoured to know that Schmichael will now be guarding my passed piggies

Schmichael was a very special boy and nothing will ever replace him in your heart, he will be sitting there knowing just how loved he was and that you were the best friend he could have ever had.

He was my early warning sign. If he started to sit by a particular cage all the time, then I knew that one of the piggies was poorly. He was always right! If ever any of them had surgery or was unwell he would sit and guard them until they were better!

For the past year there has been a special guard at Rainbow Bridge!
 
Oh god i have tears rolling down my face reading this. What can i say about him? I never met him, sadly but my god did i feel i knew him.

The love bubbles he left, the chasing games with mummy, the spraying of mummy when she ignored him, the guarding of his piggy pals & his wonderful way of entertaining them. His love of black shoes, his absolute disgust at getting dirty .......... there are so many things that have made me laugh about him.

I remember vividly the day i got the text - i'd to read it over and over because my brain just would not accept the fact he'd gone to guard the bridge piggies.

Mr S what a character you were! I loved hearing about you & i still hear about you because you still visit. Your piggy pals give you away when you entertain them ;)

This is my most fave pic of you - just look how gorgeous you are! x) x)

Beautiful boy, you took your "job" so seriously & i know my own bridge piggies are in good paws. I miss you Mr S x
 
What beautiful photos of a very handsome boy. I am typing this through bleary eyes as I wipe away the tears at Schmichaels story. Such a special boy who was blessed to have shared his life with you, or is it the other way around? Schmichael will be running free in those lush meadows at rainbow bridge and will be watching over his Mummy always as he did in life.

Sonny sounds gorgeous and I am sure Schmichael made sure there are many special guards out there to continue his work! Such a very special job!

I feel very blessed that I was allowed to be a special part of his life! Such an honour and privilege!
 
It sounds as if he was a special little fella. He may be gone, but he is very much still in your heart and thoughts.
 
What a beautiful bunny and an amazing character. Sorry he had to leave you.
 
There are animals that we are blessed to have in our life, like guardian angels having taken on form... They have come to look after us, not we after them; every day with one of them feels like you have been given a very precious gift.

Schmichael was one of them - and it is so hard to deal with them not being round anymore, as your life is suddenly so much poorer for the lack of his continuous presense.

I'm sure that he is still guarding you in his very own special way from another place.
 
As I said to you the other night, I just can't believe it is a whole year since Schmichael went to the Bridge. He was such a special little man, and will never be replaced or forgotten. I've no doubt he is doing his unique Schmichael-like thing at the Bridge :)

(((Hugs)))
 
Oh gosh, I remember when you lost him, it doesn't seem like a year ago. it must be a very difficult night fo you, and we are thinking of you x

Although its so sad that he isn't here anymore, I for one am glad he is guarding my little piggies that have passed on.
 
Oh Debbie. I have only just seen this thread. I remember the day in question and can not believe how fast the last year has gone. I remember all your stories about him and how much you loved him. I'm sure that Schmichael is watching over you all xxxxxxx
 
What a beautiful boy he was Debbie. He will live forever in your heart - some of our pets affect us do dramatically. My Daisy guinea will always be missed.

He certainly looks a real character on the pictures. Bless you little man.

Helen.

Mr. Schmichael a little brave man, with the most amazing character x)
I was honoured to be one of your friends, you now are guarding my lovely boys Sully and Duke and i thankyou for that cause i know they'll be so beautifully looked after xx>>>
Remember the day you lay down and your mummy thought you'd gone? :{ little man you were just sleeping x) you were the most relaxed boy!
Gosh what about the time you got dirty tootsies......oh dear how upset you were :{
You told mummy that Pops was sick and she was......gravely ill but you kept your guard and as she started to improve you also let her come out and chat to you. When you had to go to be the Guard at the Rainbow Bridge, Miss Pops decided in your honour to carry on with your work :)

Miss you to Mr. Schmichael i will always remember feeling so sick to my heart the day your mummy sent me the text to say how sick you were and then that final text 8...8...

RIP SCHMICHAEL xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Your bunny was so beautiful :) They say time heals, but we never really get over losing a pet we are so close too :( I know you have your new bunny to help heal your heart xxxxxx but it is still so hard.
I know all too well :( House bunnies are just so special, your bunny be in your heart forever xxxxxx
 
Thank you for all your lovely comments and memories of Schmichael. He was such a special little man and I know he continues to visit his piggy friends. He used to go into the piggy room and entertain them. I would know he was there because they would all be up at the bars wheeking loudly. On a few occasions since he went to Rainbow Bridge, I have heard the piggies all going crazy, wheeking and biting at the bars. When I have gone into the room there is nothing there to have got them all excited. Well nothing I can see, but I am so sure they have seen him!
 
I can't believe it is a year since you lost your beloved Schmichael Debbie, where has that time gone? I can just imagine him causing mayhem at RB and I'm sure he is looking down at you and your gang.
