Update on the Bunnies

We had a rough day. The kids had checked on the bunnies last night and they seemed to be doing ok. After school, we had some friends over to show them the bunnies. When we got back there, they werent really moving. We got some water and tried to feed one with an eye dropper, but it quickly passed away. Then we reached into the back and 2 of the babies were dead dead. We found the last bunny and he looked awful. That stupid mommy bunny must have refused to feed them, even though she came out each night and ate the lettuce by their nest. Plus, it got super hot today and they were in the direct sunlight) So, we packed up the last one, put him on his nest stuff in a show box and brought him indoors. Kayla, Alayna, and Tyler stayed vigilantly by his side talking to him and feeding him the water for 3 hours! He was really struggling to breathe and then finally went still. Alayna and Tyler even started to try and give CPR (just by pushing on his little chest) We were all devastated. Alayna cried her self to sleep and we are all reminded of how fragile life is.
