Cassidy is a what?!


My students are very familiar with the latest news about my rabbit, Cassidy Marie Lipsky but I thought I'd catch the rest of our readers up to speed. Cassidy has been a member of the Lipsky family for about 9 years. She is a grey mini-rex rabbit who lives in a comfy cage in my sister's old room. Right after the Easter Holiday we found Cassy in the front yard where the neighbors' evil cats were trying to eat her. She loves watching television, eating carrots, cauliflower, and electrical cords, and running in circles around every one's feet. Sometimes we call her Thud or Thudly because she thuds on the ground at your feet to get you to rub her long, smooth ears. Usually, I just call her "The Bunny Lady".

Cassidy recently had to undergo surgery on her bunny knee (it's just like a regular knee but on a rabbit). Post operation, the veteranarian asked my dad why he kept calling the rabbit a "she". My dad replied that Cassidy was a girl rabbit, to which the vet laughed and responded "No.....". So now we are the proud owners of a boy rabbit named Cassidy. My students have been very concerned about my little boy bunny, who had to wear a cardboard cone around his neck for a couple weeks after the surgery so he wouldn't bite his stitches out. I wanted to share this picture so that everyone would know that the bunny is totally fine (though he is full of attitude for some reason) and back to ripping apart bags of wood chips. We're now calling her...I mean him, Butch Cassidy.


I hope your Spring Break is full of FUN and surprises! Love, Miss Lipsky
