Tabitha dies on April 11, 2011

Tabitha is one of the original 6 kits to Blackberry and Snowflake. She mothered many litter and gave Tiptoplops rabbitry the most beautiful kits! Moreover, for many years after Snowflake's passing, Tabitha acted as the 'gatekeeper' in the Rabbitry. She played the role of the great aunt with dignity. Her death was difficult (the body holds on too long)---she died from the equivalent of a pneumonia, inability to breathe, caused by the Pasturellosis. She is survived by many rabbits. Her original name was "Nugget" because of her coat but later changed to Tabitha.
