you know...people can be so horable.
Somehow a reporter found out about the attempt to rescue the bunnies...and that they didn't make it..and the comments of people on the news site are just horrible.....
you think I'm not beating my self up for not taking them?
We had no idea... we gave them plenty of food and water and they are several feet of the ground.
We thought we'd be back the next day for heavens sake.
The sad thing is.... the water didn't get that high..... the current was so strong it flipped both cages.
By the time we knew it could potentially be so bad we weren't allowed any ware near the mall to try and rescue them..and we tried. 3 of us were on the phone constantly trying to reach the mall, police, fire dept anyone..... and were told 'its not a priority'
Its only because of pulling some strings that we were able to get in today to try and rescue them! The entire site is a biohazerd area.... everything is contaminated with raw sewage in addition to what ever else is usually in flood waters. no one is being let anyware near it.
Do those people really think I'm not heartbroken over the loss of Houdini, Fuzball, Alice and Gizmo? The little fluffy darlings that would hop into my lap and nuzzle my chin when i held them up to me?
never in a million years did we think it would be so very devastating. that the water would get so high inside the mall...or so strong as to flip their cages over and smash glass doors and display cases in some stores.
All day Tuesday and wed kept running trough my head ...if only i'd thought, or done this, or that..... if only we'd even thought that it would get so bad....
and maybe it is an attempt at making excuses..but i don't mean it to be... but we were panicking. Sean and I had just both had to abandon our cars to the flood.... both of which are still their!
its not like we didn't spare any thought for them...we did...gave them lots of food and water..... debated options..and came to to conclusion that they would be OK... and we were wrong.
And i despite the fact that rationally i know their no way anyone could have foreseen this....i still feel so very guilty .... and i will forever it feels like.
RIP Fuzball, Houdini, Alice and Gizmo....may the lady take you into her arms that you my hop free for eternity in the Fields of Elysium. I am so very sorry i failed you.
