When I was six and my sister was five we were given rabbits for Easter. They were in a cage behind the garage. One day they vanished. That Sunday we were having dinner at my grandmother's house. I asked if I could have the wishbone. My grandmother said it wasn't chicken, it was rabbit. I got up and went out the backdoor and threw up. They were making me eat my pet!

Some of the photos from my highschool I just can't post. I was into photography in highschool for two years and everything I took involved other students.

Ironically I was camera shy those two years. 🤭

Sweet picture. 😊

The only animals I remember in the schools I attended, were the frogs I plotted to rescue from their sad fate. I'd have been thrilled to foster a rabbit, though, and then get to keep him.

I love this picture!

We had a pet bunny for a while, and I have fond memories.

Never had a rabbit, but many years ago we had a Netherlands Dwarf Hare named Ptolemy.

That's a nice thing for a school to do.

Such a precious memory. I love the idea as it fosters the idea of care, and who else better to teach a child with? But the sweetness of the memory here is much more incredible. Thank you for this share. It's beyond the nostalgia factor, too.

Aw, what a sweet photo. 🙂

How precious 😍

Aww thats so sweet they let you do that
Mini you 🥰

I love old photos and don't have to know the subjects to appreciate them. The backstory adds wonderful context. Thank you so much for sharing that with us, Bijou 💓

OMG! That's you? That's awesome. I just wish you were looking this way.

For me as a kid it was a Guinea pig that I took home for the summer (once). I totally forgot about this memory.

Wonderful picture by the way.

Very cool. We got to keep some classroom pets over the weekend but never for the summer.

Lovely photo … nostalgic ..
Thanks for sharing the story and the photo 🙏

Is that you? I've been wearing glasses from a young age too. I was ten.

Adorable pic of you and the rabbit.
Reminds me when my childhood best friend had rabbits in her backyard.

I would have loved that. We didnt have that in school

Look at young Bijoux!

Aww so cute! Nice bunny too 🙂

That's lovely.

You were cute.

That's a very small cage!
What was it's name?

Aww, bunny!
