Little Furry White Heartbreak

 
Posted by Picasa


We lost a bunny tonight. It was one of the three borne last last spring. I went out to feed them after work and found him. He was gone. How am I going to tell the boys? It just seems awful to have this happen at this time of year. Normally, there would be a funny story about my misidentification of his gender, but not tonight. This was the sweetest of the babies. He loved to be held and stroked.

Goodbye Snowball.

  3. I'm sorry to hear about your bunny. I can sympathize. Just tell you children the truth and they'll understand eventually. They won't like it but they will understand. He was a very cute one!

  4. How sad, he was such a beautiful creature. I know he had a wonderful life, no matter how short, at your house! Sometimes reality sucks, there's no good way to explain death to kids.

  6. I'm so sorry Deb. Like Dave I think it is important to be honest with children about death. It is part of life. My heart goes out to you.

  10. Poor little bunny. Wonder what happened to him?
    One of the reasons I think it's important for kids to have pets is that it teaches them about the circle of life. It's not easy, not pleasant, but it sets them up for the real world which they will have to face all too soon.
    Thinking of you all.

  12. It's always hard when a pet dies, no matter whether they were young or old.

    In sympathy,
