Goodby Little Gabby

I happened to be up about 4:00 a.m., headed into the kitchen to get some water.  Matilda was making a lot of noise. On checking the bunnies, I found that  Gabby was down and it wasn't looking good. She had been fine and was not showing signs of any kind of problems. She was active when I fed them their supper last night. She was an old bunny at nine years, but seemed to be going strong. I guess it was time. I wrapped her up and held her until the end.

She loved getting to go out to the playpens.

  3. I'm concerned about Matilda. She was quite attached to Gabby. After I got Gabby taken care of last night, Matilda tried to climb out of the enclosure twice. It took a while for me to get her settled down.
