I got button in april of 2002 she had been attacked by dogs and had a bad sore on her head. I took her home and she wouldn't eat and wasn't using the bathroom so i took her to the vet. He don't know much about bunnies but gave me medicine for her wound, he recommended me to a great vet to me. Ms. Anderson I took her there a few days later. Button had brain damage from the dog, malnutristion, and a horrible ear infection. She told me she probly wouldn't live, the infection she had the vet told me it was even hard for big strong bunnies to make it through it. It broke my heart even then becuase she was just the sweetest thing in the world. She gave me medicine for her and told me to give her plenty of attention. I took button home and gave her all my attention so did my family and boyfreind. But her ear infection got worse and it made her head turn sideways. There was a miracle though and Button got better through the next months. I spent alot of time with her i gave her a bath alot, treats, and took her all kinds of places with me. She was so sweet, she loved to held like a little baby, and to have fun she liked to run around in circles and play with her little brother Hunter. I moved in with my boyfreind and button was so happy i got a puppy named speedy. They played together every day and took a nap together. I started to potty train her to use the bathroom on puppy pads. I got a little baby squriell this day and put her in button's cage. I was going to get a rabbit pen to put some outside bunnies in so I left Button out the cage so the squirell wouldn't make a mess. The puppy was in the house but her and button had always got along good. It only took a while to get the rabbit pen back to the house. I opened the door and Button was just laying there I screamed and grabbed her she was still warm. Danny my boyfiend came running in. He looked at her and said she was dead. I asked him how. There was alittle sore on her and you could tell the dog had hurt her by playing. I started hitting the puppy becuase I was so mad at the situation but Danny pulled me off. The puppy had killed her by playing with her. I hugged Button and told her I loved her and how much I wish things had been different. We burried her in the yard and I put the yellow flowers she loved to eat on it. I was real depressed and so was the puppy for a long time. I miss button alot she was so nice and cute. I've got her little brother Hunter and his nick name is Bun-Bun. Even now I miss Button alot but I know if it wasn't for me she wouldn't of lived as long as she did and now her head isn't turn sides and there is no pain for her and me and her will meat agian someday.
