Brigitte seems quite pleased with herself now that Easter is over and she feels she performed all of her wonderful duties as the Easter Bunny.
When I first adopted Brigitte after she was abandoned and very sick, I kept her in a cage behind my chair in my dayroom. Once she got well she was to go in a cage in the backyard. Then came our unusually cold winter and Brigitte stayed in her cage in the warm house. As I work at my computer or work on photos, Brigitte has the run of the room for exercise and occasionally she jumps in my lap to be petted. Abraham and Little Minou, the two cats, tolerate her. I figured she was a year old in February because of the date when the neighbors got her for their son's birthday. She has now grown a fine dewlap (the layer of skin under her chin that looks like a collar at times)so she does not look like a baby rabbit anymore.
We are now into spring and guess what? I don't think Brigitte will ever be a yard rabbit. I'll just have to find a way to fortify all of my computer cables (she's already chewed through four of them) and come to the realization that this sweet rabbit has become one of the family who lives in the house.
Don't ever give someone a bunny as a gift unless they want it and will care for it. Rabbits are a lot of work!
