Second bunny lost this summer


AARGH! After the first bunny died of some unknown sickness, maybe pneumonia, Syd's bunny 4-h leader gave her another bunny with exact instructions of how to take care of it. It was a cute lop-ear bunny she named, Olivia. After a few weeks of taking perfect care of it, it too was found dead in her cage. Sydney is beside herself. She was so upset the first time and I was at work when it happened, so Grandma had to come down and console her. This second time, she had a friend over, so the friend and I calmed her down. She LOVES animals and it just breaks her heart. Guess we'll try another one or a kitten when she is ready again. Good thing her lamb is hanging in there and doing well! I've always told the kids that I can barely keep kids alive, I can't deal with pets, but she has been doing so well taking care of them...We'll try again when Mike builds the kids a chicken coop/bunny cage that may work better.
