I love rabbits.

Thanks.
The tank looks so empty now.
We're going to have to take care of it soon.
On the bright side, I may be able to convince my mother to clean it out completely and put the frogs in there, so they have more living space.

So sorry. You did your best. I like the idea of giving the froggies more space. It will be nice to see the tank full of life again.

Thanks, guys.
And
to everyone who needs them. This thread is a sad place.
Me too, it's going to be a pain though. And my mother has already said that even though she will move the frogs to the fish tank she refuses to use the frogs' old tank as a tank upgrade for the gecko. I have no idea why, it seems like that would be a good thing to get over with while we're in the tank-maintenance mood. I'm banking on being able to convince her it's a good idea when that day comes along, because I hate to see the gecko in the tank he's in right now. It's not too small by any means but it's got to be cramped.

I hate it when I come on here and see this thread at the top of the list...I'm always, like, "oh no".

Good luck! We moms can be a bit hard headed at times..

Yes, me too.
I'm so sorry, Forty Two.
The last week and a half, I've been bottle feeding three newborn kittens abandoned by their mother/something happened to the mother. Snowdrop, who was the largest one and completely white, developed diarrhea on Monday and died on Tuesday. Jasper, who was black and the runt of the litter, always had difficulty eating - I was syringe feeding him, since the bottle never worked for him. He died yesterday evening. That leaves Teddy, who is tan, still here.
I feel rotten. It would probably have been kinder to have them euthanized as soon as I found them. I've been trying to keep their digestive tract stimulated with stroking, and wiping their behinds with warm cotton balls with every feeding, but they needed their mom to do the job properly.

Miss Sadie Jane. I just found out two nights ago that she passed away in her sleep while we are in another state and my dad is taking care of our pets.
I miss my dog.

I am so sorry for your loss...how awful that it happened when you were away. She was beautiful.

Third day of hell. 
My dad says our other 2 dogs are looking for her. I told him to take them out back and let them sniff her grave. A good friend told me they kept their pets fur and let their dog sniff it, I think I will do the same with her bed. My dad is doing some landscaping around her grave today and when we get back in a few days, I am ordering a granite grave marker etched with her image. It's going to be really hard to walk through that door and not have her so excited to see us that she is whimpering, bringing us her toy.
Then there are the little things you have to accept aren't going to happen anymore...
-having your legs licked when stepping out of the shower
-being woken up with her face in yours staring at you with those big round pretty eyes
-pulling my husbands pants down when we are playing around
-laying on her back and rubbing her face with her paws
-being grumbled at when I go get her after she tries to escape during a grooming
-running into the back of my legs when she follows so close
-humping the cats
-the back leg stretch while walking
-the vocal yawn
-hanging her upper body in the toilet for a drink especially after a flush
-those eyebrows and lashes
-sitting in the dining room watching the front door when we are in the back of the house to protect us
