The Mop

Some shots of Mopsy out in the playpen on a recent sunny day. Mopsy is ten years old this month. Beginning in 2002 she worked for five years as a barnyard bunny in the living history park at the museum where I was a living history interpreter. When I left my job at the museum, they let me bring Mopsy home with me because I had donated her and her sister when the barnyard first opened. Now she is a retired bun, getting up there in years, but still spunky.

  2. Go Mopsy! She looks like Big Bad Boy who was the father of The Princess. (She is also 10 and does not know it!)

  6. That's wonderful that Mopsy can retire. I had no idea that rabbits could live so long. I remember that my high school English teacher kept rabbits and was just nuts about them.
