Rest in peace, beautiful Tinkerbelle.

Our thoughts are with Kathleen Wilsbach, our Chapter Manager, today after she lost her beloved rabbit, Palmer. His form from the Baltimore Humane Society from 10/31/97 says he was 2 years old. That would have made him just a couple of months shy of 16 years old.
He shared his life first with Rowan and Jasmine [...]
