Lola was a grumpy, standoffish and clever rabbit. Steve and I both had a lot of affection for her... her attitude provided us with a great deal of amusement over the years.
One particularly strange little quirk was that she hated the sound of coins rubbing together. It wasn't metallic sounds in general, just coins. I always organized my coin purse in the car so as not to annoy her. The things you do for those you love.
Above is the last picture we took of her, on her last night at home. Her ear is wrapped to prevent her from pulling out her catheter, which the vet was using as a last ditch effort to rehydrate her. In her last days with us, she was uncharacteristically affectionate and attentive to us. Perhaps her way of saying goodbye... or just trying to be sure we knew she was hurting. She took her various medicines like a champ and fought hard. She is already greatly missed.

We are sorry to hear about Lola. You all have experience with loosing pets.

We've had rabbits since 2003 and I believe we have lost 7 of them over the years. But that's what you sign up for when you have pets that have (relatively) short lifespans and have several of them at a time.
