That's why my muzzle is soggy.<br />My Lazarus was musical, his footsteps were an octave apart, and his front and back legs were two octaves apart, so when he ran back and forth on the piano, it actually sounded like music. He wwould also sit on the table, with his front paws in a cut glass bowl, extend his claws, and run in place with his front paws.. The ringing was astinishingly pleasant to hear.

The last was Blossom, a 14 pound New Zealand white rabbit full of attitude and affection. I simply adored her. We hired a friend to babysit her anytime we were gone more than one night. Blossom was litter box trained and lived in the house with us, at least as much as she allowed us to exist in our home. She died of congestive heart failure in my arms. Even now, 13 years later, I still miss her bouncing around the house, nudging our ankles for her favorite banana treats and an ear scratch.

Our new vet was positively elated when we came to him to euthanize our furchild. I should have known to run from him. It wasn't easy for our boy. It should have been. After his cremation, Joe went to pick him up. They gave our boy to him in a "birthday looking" bag, with a ribbon!! This was not a joyous occasion! When Joe pulled into our driveway I had to help him out of the truck. He said "I let him ride on my lap.....his last ride with his dad."<br /><br />It was HORRIBLE. His urn sits on the mantle with our favorite photo, and when we die, we want our ashes combined. After all, a pack travel together.lotta joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742978845913126675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-14772291187783406372013-11-11T17:43:14.982-08:002013-11-11T17:43:14.982-08:00Thanks Joe.
