First, do you remember, in October, when we became a bunny farm?!?
Not on purpose, of course. Our two male bunnies just happen to produce 3 of the cutest little bunnies.
And then when we found out about those (they are outside bunnies and had burrowed and we didn’t see the babies until they were a few weeks old), mama was already pregnant with her second litter.
We had separated “Big Daddy”, but it was too late, we got 4 more of the cutest little bunnies.
Then, we got Big Daddy fixed but apparently he wasn’t done populating the earth – somehow we got one last litter of 5 bunnies. All within about 4 months.
So naturally I started wearing overalls, shopping at IFA and walking around with a piece of straw in my mouth.
We gave the 3 bunnies from the first litter to friends but then we didn’t have any more takers so we donated 7 of our 11 remaining bunnies to the most beautiful farm nearby that where they have “bunny island”.
The 4 bunnies that didn’t get to go to paradise our all from the same litter, all boys, and our my personal favorites.
BUT, this last weekend, a family dog we are watching was able to get to one of the bunnies and now we are down to 3.
I didn’t know how to tell the kids. I knew they would be so sad, especially since it was such a sad ending. Half the kids already knew but my kids didn’t.
Last night, I told my 9-year-old and did not expect the devastating reaction I got.
I knew she’d be sad but she was completely unhinged and I immediately regretted telling her at bedtime.
I snuggled her in her fox HuggaBuddie quilt and just held her close while she let out all of her sadness and rage…
It’s moments like these when I really love and appreciate the products that we make.
This is what they are for.
To help kids feel comforted and loved through the hardest times.
She peacefully fell asleep with her soft blankets (she actually had 2 HuggaBuddie quilts in her bed) wrapped around her and her fox under her arm.
When I tell you that these 5 lb blankets help with sleep, I know from personal experience. If you haven’t tried them, you need to!
Paired with our sleep mask and Buddies, they make the ultimate snuggly bedtime and comfort combo.
