My friend Poncio

Once I had a rabbit called Poncio. One ex boyfriend give it to me as a present for Christmas in 2008, so his name was given because the urban tribe “pokemones” still existed and they “ponceaban” (make out). I fell in love as soon as I saw him, he was so little and charming.

Most people think rabbits are beautiful but boring or that they escape from people, but Poncio was completely different. He was very sociable, he liked a lot to be with people. When you shouted in my yard “Poncio!” he appeared immediately and started running in circles around your legs.

When he reached his adolescence he was a little annoying because he started doing sexual things in people’s legs (most in women), but this was resolved when I had the idea to give him a seal stuffed animal.  We named her Gloria and she was his new girlfriend, so whenever someone went to our yard they wanted to see Poncio’s love show. It was very funny.

Poncio was the best rabbit someone could have. He was somehow a dog that didn’t bark, because he always gave you some company and follow you everywhere.

He died on March 8 in 2014, it was a really sad day for me. I lost one part of my family that always brought me joy. I miss him a lot and I hope that in animal’s heaven he have many Glorias.

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER

RIP PONCIO
