We had a small tragedy yesterday, but a tragedy none the less.  One of our two bunnies was killed by some wild animals or bird.  The 2 rabbits got out of their cage because the door was closed but not latched and Butterscotch the large rabbit knows how to open the door.  My dh found the cage open in the morning and found Butterscotch,  But after the kids came out to help my son found the other rabbit (Marble) managled body on our hill.  We surmise something (owl?) took part of the body but not all, perhaps scared away or something.  Anyway it was a very sad morning when this was discovered and lots of tears and hugs happened.  We have had lots of time to discuss why God allowed this and how to think about it.  And we hope to get another rabbit in the next week or so to replace our dear little Marble.  And also to keep Butterscotch company.  As it gets colder the two rabbits would snuggle together to keep warm and we need to get another friend for Butterscotch. 

Such are the hard things of life and I am grateful that I can be here to help guide our children through them.  The next death might be much harder to handle.  This is just a rabbit.  God is gracious in all things.

Well, it was the other bunny who peed on my modem. So I had no reason to knock this one off. And both of them really are/were sweet bunnies.
And no I am not offended at the joke.
