When I was done with my massage I went to the store and came home and put something in the microwave for dinner. Then I took a bowl of lettuce and a couple baby carrots back to feed Barnabas. He was lying in his cage very lethargic. I set the lettuce down and picked him up and put him on the floor. He immediately laid back down, he couldn't stand up. I got his towel and wrapped him in it and held him in my arms. I called a friend who I knew could put him down for me as I couldn't afford to take him to the vet. I then called my friend Mark. He and his wife Michelle are huge animal lovers and I knew they'd understand how I was feeling. We talked a few minutes and he reminded me what a good life I had given Barnabas. I was encouraged by that... knowing that he was a very loved and spoiled bunny. He made my life better and I made his better. My friend whose husband was going to put him down for me called me back. As I was talking to her Barnabas took his last breath in my arms.
Life is short... what will you do with yours today?
