We lost a poodle at 19 yr. in 2002. We waited 10 yrs before we got Pug, 6 mon later got the BT.Thanks Chock. The wife was the one who swayed me to get a rabbit as a pet, I wasn't really excited about it at first. He ended up being a great pet. He was litter box trained, followed me around the house, would sit on my foot when he wanted to be petted. I don't think I could do it again anytime soon, but I am not opposed to having another rabbit.
