Easily one of my more frustrating losses because I simply just couldn't figure out what to do past move 30. I realize the last move is a complete blunder. At that point I was just out of my mind and was over-analyzing every move to the point of missing the obvious.
Anything here would be helpful... thank you in advance
edit: wow 36s = facepalm

very interesting... you can consider rotating the cd7 away from the blockade at some point, so the fight should go DDCC vs mcc.
On 30s, I'd move the camel to g3, and try to capture the Rh5 without losing the rh3 (if so, you'll be winning I think). By moving to g2 and back, you lost a couple steps which might have been crucial. But in any case it's very complicated, maybe Gold has enough pieces to cover f6 while leaving the south-east sufficently protected for goal defense.

I think you should have rotated out cd7 much earlier. I would have done that at 20s. Cats should be placed on e6 and g6 not allowing gold rabbits and cats there, the camel should keep dogs away from cats, and slowly pull the gold rabbits to f6.
Another critical moment - 42s. I think it was a good moment for unfreezing da3 with eb4s Rb3e da3s eb3n. Gold can unfreeze his Ha4, but silver will capture a few more rabbits in c3 trap. 4 rabbits for a dog is a good trade I think.
