In Memory of Mac

Topic: Rabbits

Five years ago, I had the idea that I wanted to get into showing rabbits; not angoras, but rather mini-lops. So I purchased some mini-lops and did a few breeding's. I had one really successful litter, and Mac and Sparky were the result of that.

These two little brothers were partners in crime. Sparky stole the heart of my brother Luke, and Mac stole mine. Mac was as gentle as Sparky was fiery. They had lived in side by side cages since they were old enough to be separated. Mac loved to have his head and back rubbed. He was sable in color (it has been so long since I was interested in showing, that I forget the actual color name approved by the ARBA). Mac from the very beginning wanted my attention, and he got it. He was the last bunny fed every night, so that I could spend a bit more time with him.

I had figured that he was slowing down. He turned more slowly, and he didn't move with the bounce he once had, but he never failed to greet me at the cage door, not once, except for tonight.

I'll miss Mac, and I'm sure Sparky will too. He's gone to rabbit heaven, because if any little rabbit deserved it, it's Mac.

Good bye little guy. I'll miss you.
