I had a rabbit once. Mr. Velvetears. Yes, that was a play on Mr. Belvedere.
My brother and his friend won him at the state fair (
), and they were planning on cooking this poor little albino thing. I paid them each $10 to give me the rabbit and leave us alone.
He was with me for about 2 years. And they were some good years.
He was very personable and very snuggly, although he did have his moments with people other than me. Tragically, he escaped his hutch one night at that was the second to last time we saw him. The last time was when I had to clean up white fur out of the dog house at the back of the property. (Oh, those vicious labradors.)
I was at a farm supply last week, and of course they had all the cutsie "Easter bunnies" in a giant pen. Of course I had to stop and bend over to check them out, but what surprised me was how the all rushed to see me and were trying to get to me! I've never seen rabbits that interested in a human before. I wish I could've saved them all, but now is not the time to add a rabbit to my chaos. lol
