Today, my sister's bunny, Snow White, died.  She gave birth to 5 bunnies and I think she died because she bled inside.  One bunny died too and I was very sad.  Because if Snow White is dead, then the babies will die too.

My sister cried her eyes out when she found out, of course.  She cried for a long time (I couldn't comfort her coz I was in the bathroom).  I kept telling her that Mom will get her a new bunny but she still kept wailing, "What about the babies? They will die too!"

I was just as worried as my sister for the babies will die.  But in case some of you don't know, I have a creative mind (I make the wackiest ideas sometimes).  I got a dropper and got some milk.  Since the milk was cold, I put some of it in a bowl and put it in a bigger bowl with warm water.  So the milk was warm.  Then I fed the babies using the droppers.  They were so thin! I guess Snow White couldn't feed them that well.  I already named two of them.  One is named Kite because he is so skinny, just skin and bones. He is the one I watch out most.  The other one is Marble because he has black and white patches of fur, just like a marble.

Since Marble is a new breed, I'm calling it the Charwhite breed, short of Charcoal&SnowWhite but I think Charwhite is much better to hear.  If the babies survive, I'll take a picture of them and scan it.

Well, all the baby bunnies died.  I didn't really cry though.  Marielle got a new bunny.  She's a gray, flat nosed bunny named Thumper Girl.  Actually, I was the one who named her.  And the name suits her well. She's always frolicking to and fro in our house whenever we let her out of her cage.  The only thing annoying is Charcoal keeps trying to mate her. What the!
