I read this sad announcement last night and just couldn't find the words to post anything. I haven't been around here very long in comparison to others, but I had read the entire thread about Miss Hoppy and her ordeal. I looked forward to seeing the pictures that were posted of her and her white patch of fur. I'd read in the gathering thread of her recent decline in health and had hoped for a recovery as I am sure you did as well. I had a dear bunny as a pet as a child. I had other pets also, but it is only one kitty that I lost 2 years ago and that sweet bunny that I still dream about. They really touch our lives deeply. You'll feel this loss for many years to come, even though time will help ease the pain. I do hope that you get comfort from the comments here and support from others that knew Miss Hoppy. It is wonderful to remember and recount the nice memories. Feel free to continue to post some of these small activities with us. Please accept my sincerest sympathies.

I also wanted to mention how moved I was to see not only that the Pet of the Day websites were updated, but even more than that, I noticed that Karen took the time to welcome a new poster last night. I realize that you have it set where you have to approve new members and posts won't show up until that is done. But I was really touched that Karen took the time to welcome that new member despite going through the loss of you baby.
