L.A.R. Part III - the final chapter

There really isn't much to say here except to say just what went on.

The other day I was in at the animal shelter like I usually am on Saturday mornings to volunteer. In a way I was anticipating seeing my rabbits again as their cages had been in the room I regularly clean. However walking in I only saw one cage. And that cage was empty.

It wasn't until I spoke to Crystal, one of my friends in there who's one of the employees, that I learned that this past week the rabbits each found a home.

It's a bittersweet feeling. Glad that they were finally adopted out and that they have a new home now. But still feeling bad that I was not able to keep them with me forever.

I still feel like a failure, but I am glad that someone was able to give them the home that I could not.

Seeing their empty cages in the shelter with them no longer there... knowing that I will now never see them again..... is very heartbreaking and I had a good cry myself that morning. It still hurts and is still sad to think about....

But life goes on.
