Goodbye, Little Alex

[poliphilo]

That was sad. We took Little Alex for his health check and the nice, young vet talked us into returning him to the store. It was the right outcome. It's been an orgy of sex and violence ever since we introduced him to the other two and it was only a matter of time before someone lost an eye. For cute, little, fluffy things rabbits aren't half vicious.

So we're back to being a two rabbit family and torpor resumes its reign.

Have you read "Watership Down" since you've become a rabbit caretaker?

I saw the film once. And retain a troubling image of one-eyed General Woundwort foaming at the mouth as he charges into battle.

Ugh. I didn't even know there was a movie.

I've been slightly afraid of rabbits since I read the book--and since I saw them at a state fair, the huuuuuuge rabbits. (I'd never have one for a pet.)

It's an animated movie- not very good- best remembered for the Art Garfunkel hit "Bright Eyes".

I've been around those giant rabbits. They're sluggish creatures.
