You guys are wonderful! I can't tell you how nice it is to come back here with my tail between my legs and then see all these wonderful words of condolences and hugs for Brian and I. It's hard to type....you guys made my eyes water up again!!
This past week was a nightmare and we mourn those bunnies more than we thought possible. I have been having a terrible time with the 'what ifs' which has caused me to loose sleep and weight. To see my big Mountain Man cry was to much, he has never felt as helpless to protect them as he did that day. We both understood that Mother Nature would more than likely claim a few of the 8 babies, thats life. We failed to remember that human error could attribute to it also. That was a shocker for both of us both and a beating session for me as it was my error that led to all this. I do appreciate all your words and I have gone over every senario in my head, but it still all comes down to me. It was my human error, forgetfulness that caused the events to unfold they way they did. It was not intentional, but it happened and I must accept my role in their deaths. I am grateful for all the support you have given me, it means so much........it's priceless to both Brian & I.
I will open up a new thread soon, but with no numbers in the title as it's too painful. I will include pictures of the 4 remaining and my concerns for 2 of them. 'Peanut'(the smallest white one) was traumertized and so was 'Allspice' which Brian calls 'Patches'.
Allspice/Patches was also hurt and now limps. We've only been able to touch him once since it happened.....it doesn't seem broken.

I will now post pictures of the 4 departed.....
