![]() For, you see, Leo liked me, liked me a lot. No matter where I sat cowering, he would seek me out. So, it was that whenever I came to meet with Robin I would sit statue-still hoping he would ignore me and hop on to attack others - never the luck. Leo’s other attribute was that he weighed nearly 45 pounds and (a big AND) had a bit of an attitude when it came to the kindly folks that would come to visit - he would often spontaneously bite those that got in his way. ![]() Leo was, of course, a lop, a flop-earred rabbit whose ears hung down, not up like the other traditional bunnies that were also in residence. ![]() The trepidation was caused by the largest rabbit I had ever had the fear of knowing, Leo. When Robin James and I first began working together, I would, with much trepidation, agree to meet her at her parent’s home, where she lived. Leo the Lop was a real rabbit and was not only the inspiration for the book by the same name, actually nearly wrote the book himself. ![]()
