@elonmusk@cstanley Only just seeing this, but can confirm. We got the rabbit a friend and built a hutch designed to look like a Hobbit-hole. 🐰
We also had an amazing rescue chicken called Destiny’s Chicken…
If you're writing a book set in rural Scotland and all your characters go by their given names, I hate to break it to ya, but you're doing your readers a disservice.
