Question
hi dana,
thanks so much for answering ALL of my questions. if i think of anything else i won't hesitate to ask. it seems that you know more about bunnies/rabbits than my own vet did. i just hope that cookie dough (my baby) didn't suffer and is resting peacefully. i also hope that she knows how much i loved and cared for her. it's kind of ironic because i swear every once and a while i still hear her running on the floor upstairs. sometimes i have to lower the tv or stop what i'm doing to listen and make sure i'm not going crazy. thanks again for you time, patience and care!

Answer
Dear Autumn,

Well, your vet has to be very well versed in *many* species, and I have chosen to learn everything I can about only one.  So things balance out.

I know the feeling of hearing those phantom footsteps and seeing little darting shadows.  Sometimes I wonder if their spirits hang around for a while to be sure you're okay before they move on.

Be assured that Cookie Dough knew you loved her, and although her life was too short, it was filled with love.  That is something most rabbits never know, so she was very lucky to have you.

Take care,

Dana
