Description

This is my rabbit. His name is Bunny. If I knew he was going to live with me forever he might have got a better name, but he answers to Bunny so I'm not changing it now.
Bunny is nearly 2 years old and was given to the little girl next door by some irresponsible people who live down the road, they let her hold him then said she could keep him if she wanted and she walked up the road with him in her arms. He was far too young to leave his parents and we didn't think he would make it through the night. His first night was spent in my laundry basket after a fretful evening trying to get him to drink from a little bottle. My daughter gave me a cage the next day which we kept under the dining room table for a while and it soon became apparent that the novelty had worn off and Bunny was mine. He is still a house Bunny but goes outside in a run with a hutch on nice days but still comes in to sleep.
While I work he sits at my feet and every so often I feel a nudge to remind me he needs a fuss and a cuddle. I wouldn't be without him for all the chocolate in the world.

All these wonderful years on and my best friend has left us this afternoon for the big carrot patch in the sky.
The bestest bunny in the world.
