Jubilation
The waiting is over.
We are overjoyed to bring you the news.
The rabbit died.
I know, that sounds very sad.
Fear not, we don't even own a rabbit.
Actually, the weather warmed up long enough to
comfortably perform pregnancy checks on
our dear Sissy and O'Malley.
O'Malley was successfully impregnated by our beloved,
departed Mojo.....TWINS!!
Sissy is "with kid", also...only one was visualized.
That doesn't necessarily mean that she only has one, though.
We will have to wait until April to know for sure.
But for now, we are so very excited....
Although we no longer have our dear Mojo....
we can look forward to his progeny this spring.

Mojo Found His Mojo!
Happily, I can report that our little MoJo has bred with Sissy. Was it successful?....only time will tell. I thought at first that our stealthy little fellow viewed mating as a "covert op", but today he was caught in the act several times. Sissy is "in...
