Mix lionhead rabbit at green background

This was my 3rd daughter, Sheila. She was a lion head bunny. She was a grumpy bunny, and she didn’t like cuddles, and she would bite you if you tried to touch her. But she was sweet to my youngest daughter Maia. Maia was 1 1/2 years old when we adopted Sheila and I'm sure the first time they saw each other, they fell in love with each other. One day, I saw Maia inside Sheila's cage! I don't know how Maia got into the cage, but I ran and opened the cage to get Maia and she was wet from Sheila's pee and poop. I washed (I mean showered and bathed her) her really well. Every day Maia would sit in front of Sheila's cage and talk to Sheila morning and night. Maia was the only human Sheila allowed to touch her. Of course, Sheila was a snob to the rest of the family, her mommy, daddy and her other sister take good care of her too and loved her a lot. Unfortunately, Sheila died last year. We are still sad about what happened. We miss her so much. She will now and always be my 3rd daughter.
