The Sugar Man

This is Spicy Girl's man. I always had a hard time calling him Sugar since that seems a female name. You can always see his hair bounce in this picture. This is a really long-haired rabbit. He's pure white with gray nose, ears and tail, not that you can ever see the tail under all that long hair. He's kind red eyes. Much more outgoing than Spice, he loved to sneak out of the kitchen and visit all the other rabbits in the house.

More Spice

Here's another picture of Spice. Your can barely see the little bit of white on her nose.

The Spice Girl

This is Spice. She was one of my foster rabbits until recently. She's a Jersey Wooly, like Hillary, mostly black head and ears and mottled black and white very long hair. She's pretty shy. When I'd pick her up she'd make little grunting sounds like she was afraid, but then she'd snuggle in and be happy to be held for hours.

Death of Topsy

I haven't written in here since Topsy died last April. My energy for writing about rabbits sort of went out of me when she was gone. She was only three years old and I don't know what caused her death. She started snorting and sneezing. It seemed like it would go away. It had before. When after a few minutes it didn't I rushed her to the Animal Emergency Center but she was dead when we arrived. Even now it's hard to write about it.

Attached is video I'd taken only a few days before of Topsy and Quinn, who had just made friends, and are were looking forward to playing and hanging out together for a long time. I treasure having more than a still picture of her!
