I used to be terrified of pretty much all animals. I still can't remember what made me think I should get rabbits and that I wouldn't be scared of them but I'm glad I did! Since getting my two, I've got heaps better with other animals too. I visited a friend's parents recently and they have two puppies. Her Mum was amazed at the difference in me since the first time I visited them years ago when they had older dogs.
