Young Bun
On Monday, my teenage daughter began to have a fever. I figured she had the flu and set her up on our couch with warm blankets, Tylenol and lots of tea. Late in the afternoon, our trio came out and sat by her until she went to bed. The next day, she was still sick, and the rabbits came out of their usual daytime resting place to sit by her - all facing her on the couch. By late in the evening, her fever spiked. She collapsed at 11pm and we had to rush her to the hospital. While we're getting her arranged on the couch for the hospital, the rabbits began fussing all around her. I swear they knew she was in a bad way. We were at the hospital for several hours - and after a few IVs, my little girl was feeling better and was sent home. We got home at 5am and the rabbits were waiting for us. They had been so upset, they had completely messed up their living area. But they were waiting and knew we were all home. I'm still in disbelief over their obvious behaviors. They were worried and sat in a virtual vigil next to my daughter. I knew rabbits were smart, but this experience just confirms that knowledge even more. Wow. My daughter is feeling better today - but now we're all sick with the flu, too!
