It's hard and emotionally draining for everyone to some degree. I remember being involved with an OC awareness walk and when we all met (I suppose it was about 10 to 12 people maybe more) all affected with OC in some way, and, when we all introduced ourselves my sister started to cry...that was a very surreal moment for everyone...I'm not sure there was a dry eye in the room!

It's hard...when I'm at work I don't think about it...when I'm in the backyard and keeping Manny (my pup) away from the rabbit nest I don't think about it...when I'm going for my walk I don't think about it...For the most part I don't think about it...Once in a while I think about it coming back but not often...Stay strong and keep busy.

Btw, I have no idea how to keep Manny from these baby bunnies...After all, Manny's breeds' natural prey are iguanas and rabbits...Oh boy!!

Hang tough!!...It could be worse...we all could be baby bunnies in my backyard!! The odds are not in there favor!!
