| Mr. Cary Grant knew how to turn
on the charm to get treats. Sometimes he would refuse to eat any greens
or pellets and only wanted dried fruit treats, yogurt drops, and bananas.
It took awhile to get him to eat healthier greens. |
| He had a very discerning palette. Dill and Cilantro would not do,
dandelion greens were preferred. |
| Mom purchased a lovely leaf-shaped dish for
his greens and he decided it was better as a throw toy. Mom took it
out of his pen and when he would get out he would look for the dish
to toss it around. |
| Mr. Grant was quite the ladies bun. He would tag along
to Mom's staff meetings and hop out of his purse-style carrier onto
the shoulder of a colleague. He would then smother her with kisses. |
| He knew he was a movie star and expected to
be treated as such. He insisted on adoration from his fans. He demanded
respect from his housemates, two cats, Tycho and Asia. Although Tycho
was more than twenty pounds to Mr. Grant's two pounds, Mr. Grant would
chase Tycho around to show who was boss. |
| He was known as the international bun of mystery because of all
his adventures going to different parks and the fact that some how
he managed not only to pull up google on the computer but do a successful
search for a fighter plane. |
| Even though he could be quite
demanding, he gave back to his community. He had established an information
booth at the local farmer's market to help raise awareness of the
underprivileged bunnies in his area. He endured a great deal of petting,
poking, and a barrage of curious children. This was done with grace
and humility without scratching or biting. Mom was thinking of biting
the child who tried to tie his ears together. |
| He also made appearances in classrooms to educate future bunny owners
on the proper care of house rabbits. |
| Mr. Grant lived a too short life, but he lived
fully and brought love and joy to those who knew him. He gave so much
love even on his last day when he was in pain. |
In late February 2006, Mr. Cary Grant
developed two blockages in his digestive system and underwent exploratory
surgery. Athough he fought hard, it was too much for his little body
to endure. His family will honor his memory by continuing his work
to help the bunnies that are less fortunate.
