The Bunnies at Quail Cove



One rainy trash day morning, while emptying the trash trailer, we came across a family of bunnies at Quail Cove. We had seen the mother and father before, but this was the day we met the babies. Dropped from heaven these creatures of love brought sunshine to our souls. These bunnies have become part of the family, and therefore, deserve names.

                                              LEROY JAMAL &  BIG MAMA

                                     LIL’ BANDIT, LAWRENCE, EVON, SHALLEE

Leroy Jamal is large black bunny. Soon after the birth of their children, Leroy left Big Mama to fend for herself in the ghetto. She found refuge underneath the ghetto shed.
Big Mama was a beautiful classy white bunny with black spots. She was  a strong independent woman who was better off without Leroy Jamal.
Lil’ Bandit was the cutest little black bunny. His mama feared he would grow up to be like Leroy Jamal, but Lil’ bandit wanted to be a bigger man than his father.
Lawrence got the brains of the family. After a few weeks he was no longer seen around the ghetto shed. It was rumored that he went back east to attain a higher education, with the hopes of returning to take Big Mama out of the ghetto.
Evon & Shallee are the twins. They were blessed with neither brains nor class and were destined to live their lives out in the ghetto.
After not seeing the bunnies for more than a week, we were saddened to hear that mama AJ had gone and killed them and they were now living in his freezer. We still hope this is a lie and that Lawrence fulfilled his dream of getting his family out of the ghetto.

 He was a city bunny left to the wild by his owners. He didn’t last a week.

  &  KOADAH

                             CHIEF POWHOTON,  SACAGAWEA, LEWIS, CLARK

Kocoum and Kodah were friends that we had seen often at Quail Cove. We were thoroughly surprised to find that one was indeed a female, when baby bunnies began appearing again. Still unsure of which was the mother, we kept their names.
Chief is a brownish color. He the eldest and will eventually take over the tribe. He carries himself with the upmost dignity even for such a young bunny. He spends his days protecting his siblings.
Sacagawea is also a brown bunny. She loves being the guide when she goes exploring with her brothers.
Lewis and Clark take from the blonde coloring of Kodah. They spend their days exploring the uncharted territories of Quail Cove.
Their family continues to live wild and free at Quail Cove.
