in memoriam

We've had a very sad tragedy happen at our home. Emma's dear beloved Funny Bunny has died. We aren't sure how, but speculate that one of those early frosts was too much for her, and perhaps she didn't quite have her winter coat yet? We planned on bringing her in for the winter, but it got cold sooner than we expected, if that's in fact how it happened.

All I know is that I'll never be able to forget the morning that Emma ran back into the house, after going out to feed her, screaming that "Funny Bunny wasn't moving" and was "frozen". She was besides herself with grief! Crying! Wailing! My heart absolutely sunk that day! My poor sweetie was sad-er than I'd ever seen her. She loved that little bunny! She worked so hard on her speech to be able to earn her! And Emma took such good care of her every day playing with her and even cradling her. We're doing our best to create a scrapbook of memories of Funny Bunny for Emma to always remember her. Rest in peace, Funny Bunny.
