| R.I.P. bun-buns. I'm so sorry it happened this way. |
Sometimes, life is a series of failures. It always seems to come all at once, like the weight of the ocean. That said, farming is an ongoing never ever ending learning experience. This morning, after we tended the animals and left for town to our dreaded day jobs, my mom called me at work to tell us the bad news. The rabbits were gone. The rabbit tractor was just slightly unlevel, with a little gap to dig through, and they were gone. She managed to wrangle two of the them (more than I would have asked her to), two more were taken by Trilli, the worst farm dog in history, and three remain unseen in the wilderness. It is so hard to lose animals, especially avoidably so, knowing this is my fault. We moved the two remaining rabbits to a different cage and tomorrow we will build a bottom onto the tractor with chicken wire and steps to protect their little feet. One day, I hope upon hope, we will know what we are doing.
Until next time,
Angela Kelly
