Meet Brownie & Marshmallow.

Our oldest requested a bunny a year or so ago. She completed the required reading and written paper on how to care for one a while back.

 Taylor chose Marshmallow at the shop, but of course Jayda wanted Brownie, who was his roomie. J Dad said yes, but Jayda was told she too would need to read and narrate to us how to care for the bunny until it would be officially hers.

Unfortunately, Marshmallow was ill and passed away yesterday. She had mucoid enteropathy. ( 60-100% mortality rate ) The shop owner had no knowledge of the illness and we trust that he was being truthful. He did seem sincere when we phoned to let him know what happened.

I had rabbits growing up and my husband and I had a couple when we first were married, but neither of us has had experience with this illness. Marshmallow was buried in our backyard yesterday afternoon by oldest son and dad. The kids were very upset but are doing much better today.

We still have Brownie & the kids have decided to change her name to JOY! Isn’t that awesome?! Weeping may last through the night, but JOY comes in the morning!!!!!! ~ love that scripture!

I’m thankful that my children have found Jesus’ Joy this morning!
