- 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...

Sissy is "in season" so she is a very willing partner.
They spent the better part of the day in courting rituals, chasing each other around....going "steady" as we used to call it.
For now, I won't burst her bubble!

Sissy will be yesterday's news.
For now, I won't burst her bubble!Do you remember little Kramer from last Spring's kids?
