I'm a wascal

Tonight was a big dinner and silent auction at our school. There were many lovelies to bid on; photography sittings, scrapbooking supplies, books, guitars, and much more. There was also a live auction after the silent auction closed. I had decided beforehand what I would bid on. And one thing that was a definite "no" was the adorable rabbit. The kids spotted it's cage before the dinner and were sticking their fingers in, trying to stroke the dense fur.

"Please, please, please can we get the bunny?" they begged.

I said no way, no how, but that I'd keep my eyes out for something. Anyway, I was outbid on a couple of items in the silent auction, but I still only had eyes for the magnificent Fender classical guitar with hard body case. Oh baby! Well, my good friend & I got into a bidding war over the guitar and I let her win. I wasn't even considering the rabbit, until a couple at my table said that this breed make excellent pets. They don't need to be walked (like any rabbit does), are very gentle and love attention. And, they added, if we couldn't find anyone to take the rabbit, when we move in August, they said they'd be happy to take her! So, I bid on Raison d'Etre (Reason to Be) and whaddaya know, I won! She's all ours for $35. Whoopee!

We are searching for just the right name for our queen of a bunny. She is a pedigreed rabbit and apparently rare & on the ALBC's 'critically endangered' list. She is a Silver Fox rabbit, bred for their fur and meat. Blugh, don't even make me think about eating this precious bunny. (though I have eaten rabbit. and it is delicious, I might add) She will be a wonderful addition to our family!
