Tonight is Daniel's sleepover birthday party. About an hour before the guests were to arrive, Mike went down to change Bumper's cage litter and discovered he'd passed. We dug a hole in the yard and buried him and when we asked if the kids wanted to say anything, Jacob said, "come on guys, he's a pet. They die. Can I go in now?" Hannah just kept saying, "he was a good bunny." Indeed, he was. A very good bunny and a very good pet.
We'll miss you, Bumper. Hop along little guy.

Aw. I'm sorry about Bumper. He lived a good long time, didn't he?
Almost 4 years, which is about the average life span for the bunny. It was just so unexpected. Mike and I are more upset than the kids are, which is kind of funny.
Not so funny. You and Mike were the ones who cared for the bunny.
I got the same way when the ferret died, although she was an old ferret at that time.
