Prayer Request for Karats the Rabbit

From the comment section: Please pray for my daughter, Nicky, as she's made the most difficult, mature and heart wrenching decision for her dear friend Karats. We brought this beautiful mini lop bunny into our home when Nicky's dad left us when she was 6 years old. She turned 16 on January 16th. During the 10 years Karats has been with us he has been her friend and her safe place. His amazing listening ears helped her though so many of the hard parts of a young life...tough days at school, bullies, grandmother fighting cancer, fights with brother or sister, and the occasional "mom doesn't understand." He taught her responsibility as she has been a great mom in taking care of Karats.
Karats hasn't been able to hop since June and there wasn't anything we could do to help him except to make sure he had what he needed. He has since gone blind. Even though he couldn't see or hop, he would always be excited to hear us and know we were there...until recently.
Karats, thank you for being a true friend to Nicky. She loves you so much and this has been so hard on her to see you suffer. Shes been struggling with the decision to "kill her friend". Now she sees it as "rescuing her friend". As painful as it is to make this decision, it brings us comfort to know you will be able to see your way to hop across the bridge today. We will see you again. We love you so dearly!
