bye bye bunny

Atatlie is friends with a girl (9 years old) up the street. A few days ago this little girl found a bunny that she named Lucky. Unfortunately, Lucky hopped out of its box and the pet dog was able to find Lucky about 5 seconds before the little girl did. The dog knew it was in trouble for tasting the bunny and quickly ran off leaving the baby bunny right there by us as we watched him die. Now, since we just meet Lucky we weren't too attached and after a minute or two Atalie asked me "Mommy, why is she (Jenni) crying?" I explained that the bunny was her pet and that it died. Atalie then went a picked a flower (weed) and gave it to the girl.

Its awesome getting to watch my little Atalie developing into her own person. She'll definitely be a compassionate one when she's all grown up!

P.S. Never name your pet "Lucky." Your just setting them up for doom!
