The Rabbits Died

[purplerabbit]

Warren and Matilda are dead. They were our pet dwarf rabbits. I found them dead in their smaller hutch today. We had taken them out of the big one to clean it and put them in the smaller one on the ground. We think that maybe a cat clawed at them. They seemed intact. I really didn't want to look too closely. But they were both dead and stiff by the time we discoved anything wrong. They will be buried under the rose bush I am planting tomorrow. We will be giving their things to a friend who has a rabbit. No more pet rabbits for now at least.

*comfort* Lynnaea's immediate comment: "oh no, Rowan is going to be so upset!"

Lots of good thoughts to you all.

That was one of my first responses. I dread telling him. I am going to have to call him and tell him.

Yes, better to tell him soonest, though it will be hard. (hugs)

Thanks for your offer to talk etc. I will be out at water exercise class tomorrow morning and I should be done around 11ish. Then I have a box of apples I need to process into apple sauce or apple butter. Would you enjoy helping with that process? I have an apple corer-peeler-slicer that you could turn the crank on, so no need to worry about your hands (Turn my crank, baby! ;^). I find it much nicer to can with someone to chat with.

(hugs) to you and everyone else in the family.
