in memory of Samson


Samson, our friend.
7/5/1999-5/22/2008

We had to put Samson to sleep today. The vet took one look at the eye and said the infection was worse, and that the alternatives were: 1) remove the eye, for $550, or 2) put him to sleep. Samson was almost 9 years old, and most rabbits only live to age 10 or so, so the combination of old age, a major surgery, and economics made the decision simpler (though not easy). We will miss him.

I am sorry about your rabbit. I've always liked rabbits, but mostly the wild bunnies that we have in our yard. We have one that takes naps under our smoke tree.
