Mr. Giraffe has been by Naomi's side ever since we lost Amos. She is so gentle with him and gives him all of the snuggles while we help him give her all the kisses back.
We set Amos' cage mat next to hers and she sleeps on it next to Mr. Giraffe, who has become her security blanket. She'll dig at and move her own mat, but Amos' mat is special and gets kisses too.
We've learned that we can't remove Amos' cage from the living room because Naomi will get so upset that she'll loudly meep, act completely spooked, and will not stop thumping no matter how much we try to console or distract her (and this was after almost a week as we didn't want to try to change her environment too quickly once we got home).
We're looking into finding Naomi a friend because she seems like she'd do better with one than being a lone bun. Not sure of the logistics of doing that just yet as we've decided to buy my parents' house from the estate (our first home!) and it's going to be a process going back and forth between states for a while trying to get everything settled.
Thank you all so much for your kind words, love, and support--it really means a lot to us.

The sweetness, the kindness, the love...the adorableness of the buns, the compassion of the people, this has been a special place I've loved to visit for so many years. It'll be interesting seeing a new background with a new home, congrats on a house!
It's so heartbreaking losing Amos, but I'm glad you're looking for a friend for Naomi. Mr Giraffe has become the most loving assistant, too.
Thank you so much for still having such a cute blog, through the ups and downs. I may not be the best at words, but I will always cheer you on. Take care!
I've been reading your blog since Simon and River and now with Naomi and Amos. Thank you for keeping us updated on how Naomi is doing. I look forward to Naomi's next buddy. Good luck with your new bunny kingdom - with the house maybe you can expand!
