This has been a sad week. Dec 21/07 was a horrible day. I woke up, got showered and dressed and was just about to go catch my bus when I remembered to feed Snowball. I looked over and she was stiff as a board and layin on her side...dead. I don't know what happened! I thought I was doing pretty good taking care of her, feeding her every morning and giving her lots of water. Dwarf bunnies are supposed to live a long time !(15+ yrs) I broke down crying like crazy! I was so upset and I had to go to work soon. Sam (thankfully) took the initiative to wrap her up in a pillow case and get a shoe box. I don't know what she died of, she had been sitting in the corner of her cage the night before, but other than that nothing out of the ordinary. I left and had to go catch the bus.. I cried the whole way there. I got to work and went to see my team manager and told her that I had just found my pet rabbit dead and was really upset. She got me a seat and gave me some work for a couple of hours off of the phones. I would have started crying the second someone even raised their voice at me. By 2:30pm I had to take calls. I was really lucky that no one yelled at me. Other than the horrible start the day would have been a good day (the calls were really good). Now I have all this bunny stuff and an empty cage. I felt so guilty about not letting her out for as many hops recently (being so busy at work). Saturday I went into work and it was slow thankfully and no one yelled at me. Richard came up to Fredericton to pick us up Sunday morning. We went to the hilltop for steak and eggs. While waiting for our food to arrive we received a call from my mom. She told me that my grandfather had passed away while at the hospital. When we arrived in Saint John a couple of hours later we went straight to my grandmothers house. There were alot of people there and more arrived later as well. We decided that someone should stay with my grandmother for the night. I ended up staying and later found out it meant alot to my grandmother. I'm just glad that I could be there for her when she needed someone. Christmas eve I went over to Sams parents house. It was packed! There were 26 people there. Sams mom always does a great buffet for Christmas and she made tons of food. We went over to moms apartment for Christmas eve night and mom, rich,lisa, sam and I all opened our presents on Christmas day. It was nice to see Lisa, not the best circumstances, but it was nice. I received alot of nice presents (thanks everyone!). Richard got me some gift certificates, so I'll be able to get some stuff at the regent or mcallister mall. We went over to nanny's house for alittle while later in the evening to see her. Boxing day the whole family was at nanny's for a potluck. There was lots of food. Nanny's fridge is packed. I called into work and told them I couldn't work today and Saturday, my team manager will try to get monday off for me as well, and will call me later today. Today we are going to the funeral home. We all made a collage of pictures of grampy, his kids, the boat. It turned out really well. Tomorrow the family is going to bury the ashes. This is all very sad. I've gotten to see all my family though, which was very nice. Anyway Richard and I should head over to moms.
