oh, how did Miss Hoppy break her leg? poor thing! and--I love that name!
She had been a naughty bunny, and I was carrying her to her hutch to put her inside for a while. I was holding her up by my shoulders when she decided she didn't WANT to be put in the hutch now, and she pushed off with those powerful bunny hind legs and jumped, but landed badly on the kitchen floor - about 4 1/2-foot fall, and landed on a back "elbow" and broke her leg. It was awful!!! and happened at 11-something at night, of course. So that night we learned where the closest emergency all-night vet to us is! It was traumatic for absolutely everyone concerned.
