I am very sorry for the late update. To be honest, It was just very hard to come back to this forum and actually have to type that the rabbit was not Peanut.
Since then, I have been scouring the web, spending countless hours emailing different rescues and shelters across the east coast that have rabbits that look somewhat like Peanut.
Unfortunately, I am extremely saddened and disappointed to report that as of now the trail has run dry. I have diverted so much energy into finding Peanut that I have neglected many of my own responsibilities and it is becoming very difficult for me to maintain a healthy relationship with those around me because of my intense searching which has been at least 2 hours per day for the past week.
thanks you again for all of the support from everyone here - I can honestly say that I dont think anyone else truly understands how much a rabbit can mean to a person other than a forum like this.
The search has not ended and I have sent pictures and detailed information to local rabbit rescues, etc with the promise to hear back if they get any new leads.
Please keep Peanut in your prayers as I miss her so much and I can honestly say a piece of me is missing along with her.
Thank you again for all of the support. It has definitely made a major impact in helping me through this difficult time.
