This doe was a hell of a doe. From youth, to open, to specialties. She’s won fur competitions against national winning breeders, she’s won be BIS, RBIS, multiple times. She had an outstanding amount of legs by the time I stopped showing. She was as mean as she was gorgeous. She was the only doe I’ve ever taken to have a C-section because she was pushing for hours on end for a stuck kit, and when the vet said, “I’ve never done a C-section on rabbits” I said “try anyway”.
I’d almost sold this doe multiple times. But she stayed. She stayed and she showed and she bit me and she charged me and there wasn’t a night I didn’t say “do it again and you’ll get the broomstick”. Of course those were just empty words, I loved the damn doe even though she hated my guts.
I looked for everything possible I could to fix her. I searched for every answer but I knew it wasn’t going to happen. She had done SO much for me, even though she couldn’t breed. Even though she had the two babies, that was more than enough for me. I wish there were other answers but I had to stand by her and help her on out of this world.
Cruella, thank you. Thank you for everything you had done. You were a mean big black doe, but you were everything a breeder could want. Give everyone some love for me across the rainbow bridge. We will sure as hell miss you over here.
