A Maze for Hugo
Liz has had a maze waiting in the wings for some time now. With Daisy’s condition, it didn’t make sense to set this up. As a bit of a distraction (for Hugo, as well as for us), we decided to set up the maze today for him.

Goodbye, Daisy
I am very saddened to share the news that Daisy has passed away. After her health and energy began rapidly declining over the last week or so, Liz and I made the difficult decision to bring her to the vet – and to have her put to sleep.
Last Day with Daisy
Over the last few days, Liz and I had some hard conversations about Daisy’s health. She’s been more listless lately, and has seemingly spent a lot more time sleeping/napping in the corner.
While her mobility has limited her somewhat, she still managed to get around previously. But this week, it feels like things took a turn for the worse. And after a lot of difficult considerations, we set up a time to take her in to the vet and have her put to sleep.
Daisy Cleaning
Poor Daisy. We’re doing the best we can, but we’re mostly trying to keep things at bay. Even after our baths, she’s not quite clean per se. Cleaner perhaps, for a little while.
This was a tender moment afterwards, with Liz giving Daisy some pets. As much as I recognize I’m capturing her decline, I’m also wanting to capture some of these moments as well.
A Little Headrest
It wasn’t quite a nap, but while we were hanging out with the bunnies last night… Daisy rested her head in my hand.
She might have been tired. I think she was just resting. I didn’t hear any snoring, so it may have just been a lull.
Daisy at the Salon
Daisy has… not been doing well, lately. She continues to struggle moving around, and the back half of her legs are losing strength. Unfortunately, a side effect of this is that she has difficulty going to the bathroom, and isn’t really able to relieve herself properly.
Hoppy New Year
We’re spending a low-key, relaxed night at home for New Year’s eve. Had the chance to grab this photo of the bunnies, and decided it would be good to share.
Hoppy New Year, everyone!
Liz and Daisy
Daisy has been struggling a bit more, lately. She still can get around, but her leg isn’t as strong anymore… and she sometimes spins in circles. And sometimes has difficulty getting herself upright.
Daisy Leg
Daisy’s been struggling a bit more, lately. She’s had some trouble with arthritis, and tends to favor one leg over the other… but lately, she’s been having difficulty moving around. In a few instances, she’s fallen over and hasn’t been able to right herself.
Daisy Nap
Whenever Liz and I spot a bunny sleeping really hard (or even flopped over), we’ll refer to it as someone being “hard down.” And this is a great example of Daisy being hard down.
Bunnies, Relaxing
Look at those gams. Just look at them.
Backyard Bunny Nugget
Work has (somewhat) resumed in the neighbor’s backyard. But I don’t really want to talk about that here. Instead, I’d like to talk about this impossibly tiny, impossibly cute little bunny nugget that appeared amongst all the hoses and buckets.
Daisy, Dreaming
Caught a few moments on video, when I realized Daisy was sleeping and dreaming. Look at those ear twitches!
Daisy’s been getting on, and her age is starting to show. But I hope that in her dreams, she’s still the same, young, spirited bunny she was when we first met her.
Backyard Bunny Gams
Spotted this guy in our back yard, and my only thought was: the audacity.
Landing Wall, Prep
Measuring once, cutting twice. Wait… strike that. Reverse it.
