We had a tragedy on Monday. Our sweetest cutest bunny died.
Gabby discovered Willow on Monday morning. She came in the house screaming that
Willow was attacked. One of her ears had a wound and blood splattered on it and
the opposite side of her head had some open wounds on top. I couldn’t decide if
we should take her to the vet mostly because of the cost and also because I
wasn’t sure there was much the vet could do. The wounds didn’t look deep enough
for stitches and I decided I would clean the wounds and watch for signs of
infection in which case I would take her in to get antibiotics. Gabby made
Willow a bed and Willow drank some water but would mostly did not move. Around
3:30 Gabby went to check on Willow and started screaming because Willow was
spazzing out. She was screaming about going to the vet. I found a vet close to
Scott’s work and decided to drive there first. I was quite sure Willow had died
already but I wasn’t sure. We went to the bank and Scott came out and saw the
bunny and said she was dead and Gabby started screaming. It was so sad and
traumatic. Scott left work and he dug a spot for her. We held a little funeral
for her and buried her. We are going to paint some rocks to put on top of her
grave. This was sad for everyone but especially Gabby. Scott took it very hard
as well. I’m sad too. It was so fun to look outside and see the cutest bunny in
the world back there. RIP Willow. I think in the end her neck may have been
broken. Poor poor Willow.
I am working on redecorating the girls’ room since we have a
girls’ room now. I started out with cleaning it out. I got rid of SO much stuff. I had some paint that blended
with the new bedspreads so I repainted the closet doors and painted their book
shelf. I ordered some new drapes. I need to figure out how I want to paint the
walls and how to decorate it.
We headed down to Utah on Thursday. Scott was barely able to
take off work and come with us. We took the kids out of school for a couple of
days. Usually they have a couple of days off in October but they didn’t this
year. We decided we like out October visit too much to skip it. I also had a
follow up eye doctor appointment I needed to go to. Thursday night the kids
told spooky stories around the fire.
On Friday they harvested and decorated the
pumpkins. That night we went to Frightmares. It was very cold. This fall has
gotten very cold very fast. I survived but by the end it hurt to walk because
my toes were so cold. I do love Lagoon though so I’m still glad we went.
On Saturday we mostly hung around and that evening Nana had
a family Disney Halloween party. The food was delish and the kids had a great
time singing Disney karaoke.
This morning Nana had a special breakfast and early birthday
celebration for Ryan. As always we had a great visit. One of the highlights was
Mandy and Attie were there. We haven’t seen them in over a year. It was so good
to catch up with them.
Basketball practice starts tomorrow. Wish me luck!
