Farewell Sweet Chloe

Gunnar lost a good friend today. His first bunny, Chloe, died. She was rather fat and I think all the hot weather we have had the last couple of weeks got to her. But trying to make a little boy understand all that is rather hard.
Chloe was the product of what happens when I let my husband take one of the children to a feed store without me. The boys came home and Gunnar was SO excited because he had a suprise in a box. (Always beware of suprises that come in a box from the feed store) It was mini-rex that reminded me of a calico cat. She was the cutest, sweetest bunny and I have such a soft spot for them that I couldn't say no. We even bought a cage and put her in the house with us for a while. Chloe was spoiled rotten and loved being petted. So, I took her to the library where I worked and she entertained the children at storytime. I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, the bunny or the children!

Baby Chloe

Like I said, it has been a sad day at our house and Chloe was loved by all of us and will be missed.
