The Bunny Curse at the Sietsma Residence



For the longest time our kids had been asking us to get a pet bunny.

So last month we finally gave in and we got them a nice little furry friend. It was very cute young little dwarf bunny. Needless to say that the kids just loved it. The next morning, we suddenly woke up and we heard Ayla talking to the bunny....,,WAKE UP bunny! C' mon...no more sleep....time to play. WAKE UP BUNNY!!" After she repeated this for about 10 times I figured something was wrong. I got out of bed only to find out that the bunny was indeed in a VERY deep sleep......it was NO more!
We told the kids that it was sick and had to go to the hospital.
The kids kept asking about 'Fluffy', so we decided to get a Fluffy # 2. A week later it arrived, another young and very small bunny. The next morning I got up early to check for myself if it was still ok and....believe it or not............it was dead too!

At this point we thought...ok that's it......no more bunnies!

Kids kept asking about bunnies though, so we decided to try one last time. This time we got 2 big adult bunnies and guess what? They both made it through the first night.

But soon the curse struck again and Sue called me one day and said it looked like one of the bunnies was having a seizure. It was shaking and moving uncontrollably. When I came home it seemed ok, but the next morning it never woke up. Bunny number 3 had gone to meet its maker! Can you believe that?
At this point bunny number 4 is still alive, but we fear for the worst.....when will the curse strike again?
