Just like any other bunny, 9-year-old Bebe has a good appetite and chows down on Timothy grass, carrots, apples, broccoli, romaine lettuce and bananas. But there’s one thing that sets her apart from your average hopper: because of a rare condition that rendered her immobile, she runs around Kathy and Charles Harris’s Louisiana house in a custom made wheelchair.”I know she is in no pain and seems quite comfortable in the cart,” says Kathy, who lives with her husband in rural Ponchatoula. “Her ears come up, and I see the stress on her legs is gone.”
Bebe easily hopped through life for most of her younger years. Adopted by the Harris’s about a year after they retired, Charles surprised Kathy with the 6-week-old pet that he bought at a local pet shop. They named her Bebe, and she quickly fit in with the couple who have no children and lived on a two-acre property surrounded by bucolic wooded areas.”We both fell in love with her,” Kathy.”She would run all over our lawn and have a ball then come back at night and sit with us on the couch and chairs.”
