Today we had to bury Princess. She was our bunny. We have had her since August of last year. The kids loved her so much. We are not really sure what happened. She was completely fine and bouncing around the yard. She did love her freedom!!! We put her in her cage for a little while and when we went to check on her she was gone. As a mommy I must say this is the worst part of the job!! Not only can I not take the pain away but I can not give them any answers.
Luckily, they know she is in heaven and watching over them!!! I am so proud of them.They are such sweet and tender hearted little ones.(well... that is except when they are chasing and beating each other! :>) They dug the hole, placed her ever so gently in the hole, and we all put our hand on the box while one of them prays. They then get a piece of wood and write nice little notes on it to her. (This "funeral" is all their plan. I don't tell them what to do they do it.)
Whew.... what a week!! Glad we had pack meeting tonight to distract them. We sang silly songs around the campfire and made smores. Hoping that some much needed sleep will ease their troubled little hearts!
