Chandler: Monica, can I talk to you for a second? [approaches Monica] I really appreciate you getting me the costume!
Rachel: You did this to him?
Monica: I thought he'd love it! His favourite book was The Velveteen Rabbit.
Chandler: That rabbit was brown and white!
Monica: It was a pink bunny or no bunny at all.
Chandler: No bunny at all! ALWAYS NO BUNNY AT ALL!

I'm sorry that I quote from another fandom but I always associate Anya's fear of bunnies with the above moment.:)

BTW: Rabbits are very low-maintence pets. I just wish they didn't know how to dig under fences to escape the backyard.*sighs*

I always liked that a demon could be scared of bunnies.

Oh no they're not! My rabbit Misty needed dental surgery so many times I spent a fortune on him. He was a fussy eater having been taken from hos mother too young, but he was a sweetie, a great big silly softy.

Thank you!

[cynthia2015]

True. It was interesting to see Anya go through all these new emotions as a human too.

I’m sorry. I should correct myself. From my experience, my brother’s then girlfriend's rabbit was less hard to look after. Although she wouldn't eat regular lettuce, only cos lettuce. But at the same time, didn't mind eating grass if her assortment of vegetables were running low.

As opposed to my first cat who got a permanent leg injury from a fight with another cat. My second cat was more streetwise but got lost for a few weeks. I think it depends on the temperament and environment that the pet is under.

[badly_knitted]

It was, she was never good at being a human the first time around.

Rabbits shouldn't really be given lettuce anyway (I've had 5 rabbits over the years). Grass is better for them, and hay, cabbage, carrots, dandelions. Misty was just a really fussy eater, but one of my other rabbits, Holly, needed dental surgery too. Rabbit teeth never stop growing and if they're not properly worn down by their food they can overgrow and cause abscesses in the rabbit's tiny mouth. =(

One of our cats vanished for a couple of weeks. Returned home very thin and with a broken tail that never healed, just dragged behind her for the rest of her life. The vet decided against amputating it for some reason. She lived for many years like that though.

WILLOW: The way you behave-
ANYA: Nobody will tell me.
WILLOW: Because it's not okay for you to be asking these things!
ANYA: (desperate) But I don't understand!

Anya's grief over Joyce's death really hit home.:(

Well, that's an interesting about the lettuce. I guess she knew what was best for her. Here was I thinking that rabbits were just easy to clean after.*hugs in regards to your poor rabbit Holly*

One of my high school friends had two rabbits that got seriously sick and had to be put down. I heard that the life span can vary. I'd be too scared to lose another pet if they didn't live long. I had both of my cats for almost 13 years.

[badly_knitted]

Yes, but it mirrored how a lot of us feel when we lose someone, Anya just said it out loud.

Smart rabbit! I wish Misty had been smart enough to accept that hay and grass are food, but he wouldn't eat either, which is why he had dental surgery so often. He lived eight and a half years despite that though, but ten he got very sick an d I had to have him put down. The vet tried so hard but in the end there was nothing he could do. I won't be having another rabbit.

[cynthia2015]

So very true.*sighs*

I was amazed at the way she ate through a whole tomato, let alone a carrot. It's never easy looking after a sick animal. But I will cherish the fun times.

[badly_knitted]

Rabbits are pretty amazing animals =)

[cynthia2015]

They are so adorable. You just have to watch out for their claws when you hold them.

[badly_knitted]

I kept my rabbit's claws trimmed - it's the teeth you really have to look out for, although Misty only nipped occasionally. He didn't like having to take his medicine after surgery.

[cynthia2015]

Poor Misty.:(

I knew someone who had a cat called Misty, but the opposite gender.

[badly_knitted]

I thought Misty was a girl at first. Turned out I was wrong and he was a muscular big buck! Bad name choice really, lol!

Aww! I just saw the pic. I guess the word Misty is a unisex name.*looked up baby names.

For some reason I think it would be ideal for a cowboy. The random images that pop into my head.:)

[badly_knitted]

He was a really cute bunny.

Some things have to be unisex, especially when it comes to pet names.

Like with Candy on Bonanza. He was my favourite character on that show. (Cowboys are a weakness of mine, maybe that's partly why I'm a big country music fan).

[cynthia2015]

He certainly looked like it. The ears and munching away...

Most rabbits are usually named "Snowball" if they have white fur all over.:)

My mum use to watch Bonanza. I saw some reruns a couple of years ago.

Eleventh Doctor: I wear a Stetson now. Stetson's are cool.

Before the Doctor had a hat fetish. I saw Stetson's on a local series called "McLeod's Daughter's. Which was based on a farm.

[badly_knitted]

Those ears, lol! I loved those ears and the smudge on his nose!

My first rabbit when I was maybe 4 or 5 was called Snowy. He was an albino, white with pink eyes.

I grew up watching westerns and sci-fi, and listening to country music. I still love all three.

Listening to Jimmy Buffett tonight though. I always love when he shows up on Hawaii 5-0 *grins*
