Word arrives this morning that he’s feeling better. Thanks to those of you who’ve asked after him, and sent good wishes.

Looking for some email about him just now, I found this old comment I made to someone a few years back in a thread about “hero bunnies.”
If our house was on fire, Thistle would rescue the carrots from the refrigerator and leave us to sleep, locking the front door behind him for good measure as he went outside.



Thistle looks good. He looks like he’s recovering well. He’s quite a lucky bunny to be a part of your family.
He’s got such beautiful markings . . . he reminds me of some rabbit-y incarnation of the Phantom of the Opera, or like the bunny in the moon during a partial eclipse.
(And yes, like a lucky creature indeed.)
Awwwww!
What a cutie!
rabbits are awesome, wish i could pet him on the nose or give him a virtual ear rub…
He likes forehead scratches. Pet him too close to the nose and you’re liable to get bitten.
