Requiem for a Bunny

"Kramer, you have been a bad boy!!"  Edna, our next-door neighbor exclaimed from her back porch. Ellen and Miriam went over to see as Edna said "Oooh, do I have something to show you".  As they approached the porch, Edna held the lifeless body of a young rabbit over the railing.

As she set it down she said "Oh, it's breathing. It's still alive!"  Not knowing what to do exactly, possession of the rabbit transferred to our family. The box top was brought out and the bunny placed gently in it. It had some greenery in it's mouth, as if it was eating when Kramer the cat got it, so some more was added to the box.

After a couple of minutes it sat up, but it was still pretty dazed and it's breathing was heavy.  As Ellen, Miriam, and I stood over the box, it breathed its last.  RIP little guy.


The bunny was given a nice burial in the backyard. Now all that's left to do is to wipe up the tears.
