Yes, it was, thank you for acknowledging that 
It is well behind me now...
more than half my life ago, and to remember sometimes seems like telling
the story of another person's life. Not because I am disconnected from my
own story, no, but because it was a different time and place and I understand
so much better now all the things that lay buried and festering in me then that
I could not face, things that contributed to me repeating the cycle of failure and
loss and pain. And I was not saved. That did not happen for another twenty years!

How do I keep my very smart rabbit from eating my Christmas tree? I have put a puppy gate around three sides- but he has slipped through the open side. I guess there is nothing for it but to pull the tree away from the wall and fully enclose it in a gate. Does anyone know if eating a live Christmas tree would make rabbits sick? I looked it up on the internet, and the results were inconclusive.
I found this at Your Bunny and the HolidaysSome holiday plants, such as holly, mistletoe and certain types of ivy, can be toxic. To be especially safe, keep ALL plants and fresh green decorations up and out of your bunny's reach. Put them in a room where your bunny doesn't usually romp, or place them high enough to be out of reach of little teeth.
Pinecones are generally safe distractions, and make festive bunny chew and throw toys at this time of year.
If your Christmas tree has not been treated (with fire retardant, pesticides, etc) or painted, then it should be safe to chew. Note that natural chemical compounds in some evergreens may cause the bunny's urine to turn more orange than usual, but this is not a health concern.
Take a critical look at your tree before placing the ornaments and lights. Low hanging decoratoins could be inviting toys. On lower limbs, use safe plastic or wooden ornaments a rabbit can safely nibble, tug, or steal. Always supervise closely when bunny is loose around the tree.

You can use some plastic mesh fencing like this. It comes in like 2' and 3' high rolls and doesn't cost a lot. Got it at Lowe's. I put some around my parent's plant that was getting eaten by rabbits and squirrels and it stopped them. It's sturdy enough that if u wrap it twice around your tree it should stand on its own. Good luck.
