Lucky

Here is my rabbit, Lucky. He stayed in Raleigh with his wife, Kisses, because the voyage to Colorado was too risky to their health. (Lucky almost died the last time I moved him). They are with Brian, my best friend in the world, who gives them lots of love and the best of care. I miss them terribly!
