31. We had a rabbit when our kids were born.

She was a cranky old lady, and not to be trusted around children without close supervision.

I think she was jealous of the kids when she went from being the baby of the house to just one of the babies of the house.

When she passed away from cancer everyone was sad. We got another rabbit who was the sweetest animal. He had a great deal of tolerance for children and loved to play. He'd run up to our kids begging to be chased and they'd chase him. Then he'd chase them. We later got a puppy and they were lifetime friends.
