E.B. (aka Easter Bunny)

One of Brett's employees raises bunnies to have, eat and feed to their snakes...kind of gross I know. Anyways, she promised Brett that when her next litter was ready she would give him one to give to our kids. The kids were so excited and decided to name him E.D...like the bunny off the movie Hop. He was just so darn cute, except when you happen to be cuddling with him on the couch and he pees on you...twice! Anyways, we had him for a couple weeks and Brett decided to let him test out hopping around in the chicken run. It was hilarious because our hens were so scared of him everytime he hopped. Well, I wanted to show Bradock how cute it was and as we were walking back to to see when I saw Maggie inside the chicken run with E.B. in her mouth. She immediately dropped him and I knew right then that he was dead. I started screaming and Brett came and grabbed Maggie. Poor Bradock was so sad and upset and I just felt so bad that he was crying. We talked about dying and what happens when we die. It's amazing how you have to have these talks when you seem to live on a farm. I guess it just comes with the territory. We buried E.B. by one of our big trees and Bradock seemed to calm down a little. Brett had to tell Brittany about the bunny the next day at work and she said that her dog totally did the same to one of her other bunnies. Well, now we know Maggie can't go anywhere near bunnies. Brittany also said we could have another one out of her next litter. Lets just hope we can keep the next one alive.
