Taken: 1988, maybe 1989
This was my bunny, Euki (short for Eukanuba). Don't ask me why I named my rabbit after a brand of dog food. I just liked the word.
Seeing the bunny on Jon & Kate Plus 8 last night reminded me of her. There were 30 or so kids all petting a bunny all at once, and Dennis commented that they should be careful because the bunny could have a heart attack. That's what happened with Euki. She had started to seem ill, wasn't eating much or acting like her normal self, so I took her to the vet. She didn't really like riding in the car much, so she got a bit stressed out, running in circles in her carrier and thumping her feet very loudly. I was able to reach in the back seat and slip my fingers in the cage to reach her, and she calmed down. When we got to the vet, I went to get her out of the car and noticed she wasn't moving. I ran into the vet yelling like a raving lunatic that I had an appointment but that I thought my bunny had just died in the car on the way over. Bless their souls, they were so kind to me, rushing out to the car to get her. Unfortunately, in her already weakened condition (from uterine cancer, they suspected), the stress of the car ride caused her to have a heart attack. Poor Euki.
Shoot - this wasn't intended to be a downer post. What the heck?? All I really meant to say was "Check out this cute picture of my bunny hanging out on my bed". Cute, right?

Euki is adorable!
Deidre had a rabbit for a while when she was younger - we thought it was a girl, but turns out it was a boy and he peed all over the walls. He didn't last very long.
I saw Jon & Kate Plus 8 last night and thought the same thing - that poor bunny is going to loose it. She was sweet to let all of those kids man handle her.
Love ya!
Ok. Now I all depressed. Thanks.
Just kidding. First of all the explanation should read - she only had one ADDITIONAL chin in this picture. She has two chins here. Which would make a total of four-fat-ass chins she sported before she kicked the bucket.
I remember this clear as day now, as you re-tell this story. You were devastated that day. She was pretty cute and pretty low maintenance.
I wanted to kill all those kids for manhandling that bunny last night. And then when Jon said "that bunny must have been on tranquilizers..." I laughed out loud. That guy is funny (when you can understand what he's saying).
Anyway - I just laughed out loud at this blog because it was was fucking sad. And then you totally called yourself out for it. So sad but such a great "tale"!
I just re-read my comment....I all depressed....what a dope I am. We need grammer check in addition to spell check on this stupid thing.
You are right Debbie, not to mention all the lamp cords he ate and the cucumber plants, when I put him out on the deck so he couldn't eat any more wires.
He went to a nice stock pot (no I mean farm) in Southwick:)
So what do you think about the rumors of John and Kates marriage on the brink of seperation or even divorce?
I had a huge bunny like this as a kid--my sister and I each got one for Easter, they were both "supposed" to be females. HA--not so. A litter or two later--we still had my guy--Scarlett O'Hare (tee hee).
Am I the only one NOT watching John and Kate plus 8?
From what I can tell, he is totally guilty. Bastard!
Cute rabbit, Kimberly! My roomate had (an illegal) one in college and he shit those pellets everywhere as he hopped around our dprm room. Didn't last long.
XO
Cute bunny...sometimes you just have to tell the story, even when the ending is sad. What I got out of it, is you loved that bunny and had a good time with him. That's what counts.
