Thank you Nona. We loved our beautiful girl with the big pretty
eyelashes so much. She was such a joy. She did get to play outdoors
for the first time this past summer. Nicholas would pick all the
dandylions out of the lawn and Thelma and Louise would eat till their
hearts content. They could play in the fresh air with the safety of
their humans close by. I'm glad I could give her that experience.

Thanks Ros. I know she knew we loved her. We worked hard to gain her
trust and show her love and happiness in the short time we had her.

Thank you Laurie. I'm sure our resident greeter Snowbelle did a
wonderful job greeting Thelma at the Bridge. I hope whatever it was
that ailed her doesn't rob me of my Louise also. I can't help think
of Carrie and her 2 big girls she lost to a congenital defect. I'll
try not to think of it and just spoil her for the time God lends her
to me.

How sad! At least Thelma had a loving home for 15 months with a
bonded pal and loving human bunny slaves. May she rest in peace,

I've been offline for a while and just read the news. Oh Lisa, I ache
for you and yours, how heartbreaking. It reminds me of Chopper's
passing, unexpected and sudden. Kuni, Raul and Noodles stand at
attention in respect for their fallen comrade. Please give Louise
extra cheek pets and hugs from us all.

Thanks Nan. I was just unfair what happened to my sweet girl. We did
our best to make sure she was happy and loved in the short time we had
her.
