    So sorry to hear rabbit is poorly. Vet bills are just a fact of pet keeping, aren't they ? Our girls were so keen to have cats when they got homes of their own, but they are not a cheap option at all. But you can't have him suffering, and I'm sure he's given you a lot of pleasure. Here's hoping he gets better.

    Oh, beanie - you don't HAVE to stay within the lines, you know !!

    Thank you Elizabeth :). I hope he recovers as the DC will be so upset if he dies. I'll be scared to get up in the morning tomorrow in case he's died in the night :(. Anyway he's had his medicine and Dh and DS1 are mixing up his powdered food now.

    Sorry about the rabbit Hairy. Hope he gets better soon. My two woofers cost me a fortune in insurance, but they are great for my mental health. My kids love them so much am dreading the inevitable one day.

    I like the idea of a colouring book. I might buy one for when I have my big op in a couple of weeks and a word puzzle book. As you can see sleep is not my friend at the moment.

    Thanks Arsenal. The puzzle book was quite soothing because it occupied my mind. Sorry you're having trouble sleeping, it must be so stressful for you. I hope you op goes well.
