A very curious aspect of Sophie, is that while most of the time she runs around and avoids human contact, if you somehow manage to pet her nose a couple of times, she goes into an almost trance-like state. Lori is really good at this because Sophie trusts her a lot more than she trusts me. Mostly because Lori is willing to put time into a relationship with a pet that gives nothing back. Me, I want them on my lap when I have time for them, and if they can’t do that, I tend to ignore them back. This morning Lori was petting the bunny on the nose and she (Sophie, not Lori) went into her usual trance. Lori kept at it, and when Sophie really relaxes, she puts her head on the ground as in the photo. Usually once you stop petting her, she quickly raises her head and starts hopping away. But this morning she stayed there, head down, absolutely still. When she stayed that way for about a minute, Lori wondered if there was something wrong with her. I was thinking it would be real handy if the nose petting trick worked on small children.
