The nicest compliment I ever had was paid to me by my doctor, Kim. "I love his little front legs," she said. Now you might not think this is a big deal but when I tell you that Kim has come from Australia you will see the magnificence of the words. Australians are not generally big on rabbits.

There is an Australian House Rabbit Society so if anyone out there is reading this you could let me know. Kim said she couldn't believe the popularity of pet bunnies when she first came here. She and her husband Simon are famous as cat and rabbit care specialists. That proves how influential a rabbit and his little front legs can be. The extraordinary thing about them is the way they can walk, individually, like dogs, while back legs hop forward together to meet them. Try getting your dog or cat to do that! If a rabbit can win over an Australian with his little front legs, the world is his oyster.
