Could this week get any worse?

Could this week get any worse?  First I have to put my cat Ashley to sleep.  Now it is my rabbit.  I knew that Lucky hadn't felt good for a little while, and the vet wasn't sure what was  going on.  Today we found out.  Lucky had cancer.  The tumor was about the size of a quarter (which I think is big for a bunny).  About 80% of rabbits will get cancer in their lifetime.

Lucky was a rescue rabbit so I am not quite sure how old she was.  I had her around 5 years, she could have been anywhere up to a year or a little older when I got her.  The average life span for bunnies is 7 to 12 years.

I saw this entry earlier and wanted to say how sorry I am about Lucky. Gosh, I hope things are looking up for you this week!!!
