"They call me MR. Big"

I had a phone call yesterday from an elderly woman who asked me if I would take the Angora rabbit she could no longer care for because of her deteriorating health. Of course, I said yes. I expected him to be a mess (based on past experience) ...but he is not. He is a well cared for and very sweet bunny and his name is "Mr. Big".

The lady was very happy I could take him...she was afraid a non-angora person wouldn't know how to take care of him. I was touched by her gratitude (and felt a little sad too).

I think he is a tort, but he has steel grey tips on his fiber! Annette? Lisa?

He loved being groomed and fell asleep upside down on my lap. Welcome, Mr. Big.

  2. Lisa said definitely not tort-its a shaded of some sort -she thinks a sable, but could be a pearl with lots of shading.

    1. Thanks. It is a cruddy picture for color! I will get a better one. He is cream colored with a silver shading on the tips and his face and ear color are bitter chocolate brown. He is pretty!
