Holding really still when being put into his
kitty harness, because he knew it meant a walk around the yard or
neighborhood. People did double takes assuming at first that he
was a cat. |

Unlike most rabbits, Thumper actually liked
to be held and would come paw at your ankle when he wanted to
be picked up. |

Being a big snuggle bunny. When you picked Thumper
up and held him against your chest, he would move until he had his
head tucked under your chin and would just stay there for a long
cuddle. |

Teaching us that a bunny could be litter box
trained. He always chose the same spot and we thought, why not give

We had a cocoanut on the kitchen floor waiting

furnace noises. Then we realized he was the thing that went thump

Sometimes we just didn't get it and tried to
keep Thumper on the sofa when it was clear he wanted to get away.
He was a smart little fellow and knew he was supposed to use his

Ouzo would try to chase Thumper which scared
us at first, until Thumper started to turn around and run straight

Thumper had some shall we say intestinal issues
