She was a bunny
With pointy ears upon her head and soft brown and white fur
She would binky and race around
And she knew she was a queen, even Beau was in her dreams
In cages side by side, they slept from 8 to 5
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the Day home, in the living room
The coolest spot west of Pottstown
At the Day home, in the living room
Grooming and sleeping were always their thing
At the Day home … they fell in love.
They were happy, always together
Always lying next to her, Beau would always dote on her
And when she wanted, they would cuddle
One day Beau was too old, and it was time for him to go
He breathed his last breath, quietly in his sleep
His cage was packed away
Beau had left her side
At the Day home, in the living room
The coolest spot west of Pottstown
At the Day home, in the living room
Grooming and sleeping were always their thing
At the Day home … she lost her love.
Her name was Lola, she was a bunny
They lived there happily for almost 6 years
Then she was sad, and oh, she missed him
Her health began to go downhill, and she became half-blind
She circles endlessly, please Lord let her rest
She lost her youth and she lost her Beau
Now she’s lost her health
At the Day home, in the living room
The coolest spot west of Pottstown
At the Day home, in the living room
Grooming and sleeping were always their thing
At the Day home …
- Beau & Lola

I’ve always hummed Copacabana whenever I think of Lola so I thought writing this was fitting. We lost her a couple weeks ago – I took her to be euthanized on February 21st. She was the 1st pet I had to do this for and it was difficult. My eyes welled up with tears while I filled out the necessary form, and I had trouble signing my name to it.
Hannah was with me at the veterinary office but Noah was, thankfully, at school to make up a snow day. I held Lola in my arms until it was time for the vet to give her “the” injection. While we were waiting 2 teenage girls who were there with their mother (and their cat) played with Hannah. Even this day, God showed that He was with us by sending those girls to keep Hannah happy and occupied.
