Lionhead Messi

When my daughter got our first pet lionhead rabbit, she was on a soccer team. She named the messy little animal after the famous soccer player, Lionel Messi. Back when we still thought rabbits could be fun, we tried to find ways to play with Lionhead Messi. The moment captured in the photo is the only time that Messi approached a soccer ball – or any other offered toy. It’s as close as he ever came to living up to the name Messi – or, for that matter, the name pet.
