Nicke, the rabbit


Something very sad happened last night... Our beloved rabbit Nicke disappeared!! And I am so very sad!!!
When I came out this morning for a chat with Nicke, he wasn´t there. I didn´t see the hole in the cage at first, but when I called for him and he didn´t show up I understood something was wrong. It has been a struggle in the cage so I guess a wild animal has been there taking him. It is awful!

A couple of years ago I said to my husband that our daughter really wanted a little rabbit. He didn´t know that I used her to get one of my own ...hehe... Of course the little girl liked the idea, but she hadn´t come up with it herself. The first rabbit that we had was a naughty one, it didn´t want us to come near her. We sold her after a year and then we found Nicke, the most wonderful little rabbit in the world. So very friendly. The funny thing is that my husband isn´t too keen on pets but he really, really liked Nicke. When I rang my husband to tell him that Nicke was gone, he went sad.

I haven´t told our daughter yet and I have been wondering how to tell her. My husband thought that we should say that he had run away, but I don´t agree. Then she is going to wonder and worry about him. I think the best is to tell her the truth even if it is hard. That´s what I´ll do!

I felt really sad when I read about your little rabbit that had dissapered. Such a loss for your daughter, and the whole family of course.We don't have any pet but in many ways having a pet is a training of emotional moments in life such as the death and therefore I also think that you should tell your daughter what has happened...
