I hope that doesn't come as a surprise to anyone!Originally Posted by Argranade
Growing up, Dad always joked that if there's reincarnation, he wants to come back as a pet in one of our families! He should know - being half of the team that raised us to spoil our critters ... Yes, he's the one who gets Miss Hoppy the sticks, and refers to her as The Grandbunny!
People are always surprised at how old Miss Hoppy is, and then delighted. There's a cleark at the Whole Foods where I buy Miss Hoppy's greens (one of two places) who noticed me buying three bunches of dandelion greens at once and mentioned her bunny likes them. I told her that yes, they were for my bunny, and showed her Miss Hoppy's picture. She asked how old she is, and said "Oh, good!" when I said 10 years old, as her bunny is less than a year old, and she wants to have it for a long time.
It's funny, because the signs in the stores like Petco say "rabbits can live to be 5 to 8 years old" and I often point that out and ask the clerk if I should tell mine she's past her expiration date! Gives tham a chuckle, but plants the seed of knowledge that with proper care, some bunnies can live longer than the sign says!
