Back then, they sold them in the stores for Easter presents. My bunny the year before bit me so she didn't want to get another one of those. All the kids I knew always got a puppy for Christmas and then Easter we got little animals of one sort of the other. It was a different time in those days and a ghastly one for little animals. |
oohhhh, poor little duckling! That's so sad! I was lucky; no living holiday presents. We had hamsters or gerbils as kids, and kept them for years until they died. I remember having gerbil babies, too. Guess we werent quite the responsible owners!
