if I could have any dog and home big enough to let it run in...
it would be this one:
a six week old husky.
And while I'm at it, did you know that I have had two rabbits in my lifetime? Rabbit, the second, was Snowball (real creative, I know). He was left in Italy after we moved. Seeing as how I got him from a farm that farms rabbits to eat it was only fitting that I then returned him back to said farm when the time came.
Rabbit, the first, was named Snowflake and, I am sorry to say was starved to death on account of my family missing our flight and his running out of water in his own little home. :( I dug a grave around the blackberry bushes and buried him, headstone and all. Even now I can remember visiting Snowflake's grave before I left Tremestieri Eteneo for the last time.
On a perhaps entirely unrelated note... Arrus and I went to The Dandelion Pub one day and I loved the atmosphere and I ate the scallops... but Arrus had the rabbit pot pie and let me tell you... it was good.
2 things come to mind here. 1) Jenna Mucciarone. I knew we would be friends when I heard her say "I had a rabbit when I was little, it was named Snowball...it was black. I was ironic even as a child".
ReplyDelete2) We had 2 rabbits growing up, Benjamin and Franklin. Again, name credits go to Molly.
Rabbits...such tragic heroes, huh?
OH. GET A DOG.
ReplyDeleteWe had a rabbit too. In Texas...Ondray left him in his cage...in the direct sun. =( Not good for Bunny.
ReplyDeletep.s. I love scallops. ;)
Cute husky! I thought you loved french bulldogs... surely you could have one of those in an inner city apartment? A perfect CFCC mascot?? :o)
ReplyDeleteI like you. I like you a lot!
ReplyDeletesuch a sweet story. Rabbits---the unsung heroes of the pet world
ReplyDeleteAwwww man - Greg wants to get a german shepherd puppy - which I love too... and Arrus wants to get a HEEEEEEUGE dog. So the men in my life want the dogs - but the VET in my life keeps scaring me into maybe never getting a dog... and at least, never getting a dog unless I can rescue it OR unless it has a field or something to run in. I took a dog from a villa to a garage once (my pup Callie, growing up) - it was TRAGIC. :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments! People actually read this thing???
Am I the aforementioned VET that scares you?!? That's a bad reputation! :-(
ReplyDeleteBAHAHAHAHAHA - you are the vet but all your concerns are extremely realistic. And really, I feel like getting a dog when you're not ready is the WORST EVER.
