Layla was really the rabbit that started my rabbit habbit. 

I had gotten a mini rex doe from one of my friends,

however that proved disaster, she was a total wench,

 always biting me etc...one day my dogs broke into

 my room and killed her, poor thing.  So I was on

 the search for some new rabbits, I got about 5

 mini rex's from my 4H leader and from

Girl's Golden Ranch Rabbitry I got some

Jersey Woolies, Layla, a sweet Himilayan,

 however was still available, and she was free,

 as she was not a good mother, well something

about her just really captured my heart, so that

 day I took her home with me.  From that

moment Layla and I just clicked and I knew

 I was hooked on rabbits.  Layla was one of

 the only rabbits, that when the weather got

questionable outside she was always in my

room, munching on hay and sleeping next

to my head at night.  About 3 months after

I got Layla, she got really sick, not quite

sure what it was, but the vet thinks it was

 Enteritis.  After 2 days of trying to save

her, my wonderful Layla passed away

:-(  YOU WILL ALWAYS BE

REMEMBERED LAYLA!!!!!!!

Dash was my first Tan rabbit and is who made

 me fall in love with the breed! Dash was a

fantastic Tan, great conformation and such

a sweet disposition.  He actually was a

house rabbit, litter trained in my room. 

 Well finally my dad wanted the rabbit

outside, it was still quite warm here in

Michigan (50 degrees in December),

so I thought ok, Dash'll be fine. 

Well one night it got much colder

 than anticipated, as it often does

 in Michigan and beloved Dash

froze to death.  I was absolutley

 devistated, I had totally fallen

in love with Dash, he was more

than just a rabbit, he was my pet. 

 Just remember Dash, you are

what got it started and you will

 always be remember and thanked for that!
