And because devvie and I briefly discussed the cuteness of bunnies, I thought I would post the pictures of it that I found this weekend.

I was 14 or 15 - some age where I wasn't quite old enough to drive yet, but I hung out with kids who were, which is how I came to be at the mall pet shop one day without my parents around to stop me.  I had babysitting money in my pocket that was backing up my lifelong desire to have my very own rabbit, so $20 later, I walked out of the place with a light brown bunny that I had brilliantly named Thumper.  Had I thought more than 3 minutes into the future about what it would be like to own a rabbit?  No,  I had not.  Which is why I didn't buy a cage for it, because I had been told bunnies will use a litter box, and we already had one of those, so I was all set!

Needless to say, my parents were not overly excited about my purchase.  But, Thumper was good at winning people over, so it wasn't long before we all were charmed by her cute hop-hop-hopping around the house.  I kept putting her in the litter box, but she wouldn't use it.  I figured she would learn.  She didn't.  I thought she would sleep in the bed with me, but she was strangely nocturnal (most rabbits are not) and would spend her nights cruising around the house, chewing on every power cord and shoelace within reach.

 I try to scan old pictures and add them to Flickr on weekends, and the process takes a while on our old PC so I don't get many posted at a time, but with the last batch I had a particularly good time remembering all kinds of little things that I haven't thought about in years.  (These aren't listed in chronological order, or any particular order, really)
