Bill the Beloved

Today we woke up to very sad news. Bill, our bunny, was killed by an animal during the nighttime and his lifeless body was found right inside his cage. We're not sure what or who did this (we do have thoughts about cats) but it has greatly affected us. We've always pictured Bill living till 30, getting fatter and fatter, and always being the Easter Bunny. We never expected anything like this could ever happen. I just feel bad that he didn't always know how much we loved him and how much fun and joy he brought into our lives. He will be greatly missed by us and those that have known him. Some good things about Bill that we loved is that his temperament was always very calm, sweet, and snugly. We loved the way that he would hop and his fat on his feet would swing from side to side. How his ears always perked up when he heard the sound of the "treat jar" (crackers, chips, yogurt drops), how he could float in water when giving him a bath, taking him for walks (or pulls) in the park with his leash and collar. He was just such a GOOD bunny. Holly is missing him terribly and I just pray that she will be okay. She is suffering from both eyes being scratched and almost taken out. We put together a little video of Bill, no longer Bill the bunny, but Bill the Beloved. We hope you enjoy seeing our beautiful baby bunny and that he will for one last time, bring a smile to your face. Good bye Bill- We love you-

I am so sorry to hear that. It is always hard losing a pet. That makes Haileys Easter picture all the more special.
