[quote=Anonymous]Hello everyone. This is OP. Been a crazy busy day being back at work after vacation so haven't been on DCUM yet.

After the kids got home from school today, we sat them down and just candidly explained what happened - rabbit got loose and ran away. I told them I had been calling a lot of people, posted in neighborhood groups and Facebook etc. and that there was a slight chance he might come back, but unlikely. I did not mention that it was DD's friend who ultimately contributed, because I don't think that would be good for their friendship. Even though DD is a very compassionate girl I think she'd look at friend and always think of her bunny (which, I'm sure she probably already will, but maybe less so?) Luckily the girls don't go to the same school (we live about a mile away from each other and we actually met their family at a local park a few years ago) so that makes things somewhat easier, but still.

The kids were understandably very upset and cried. This was really the first "loss" they've experienced - never had other pets, no grandparents dying, etc. so it's difficult. We talked for a long time and I think they'll be fine.

I am leaving in five minutes to go pick up the supplies from friend's house. I will update you how that goes. These are very kind, warm people (who I guess just made a really big oops) and I know they feel horrible.

Thank you all for your kind words. [/quote]
