Ogilvy checking out a love seat (the blur in the background is me).

 

Ogilvy, the gray-and white French lop-eared rabbit whose timely appearance in Penance helped save Holland Taylor's life, is the only "real life" character featured in my books.

The ancestry of the French Lop can be traced to the eighteenth century. It has been referred to as both the Noble Beast and the Teddy Bear of the rabbit world. Possessing a delightful personality, it is probably the most lovable and easy to handle of all rabbits, regardless of weight and size. The French Lop thrives on human companionship and is easily housebroken.

Ogilvy is perfectly litter-trained and consequently has the run of the house. He used to chew on our speaker cords, but an ill-advised chomp on an electrical cord cured him of the habit. As I've written, Ogilvy enjoys hiding in grocery bags, eats popcorn out of your hand and will, on occasion, ram his head into your foot if he feels you're not paying him adequate attention.

And, as I promised both Nevada Barr and Diane Plumley, nothing untoward shall ever befall him in my books -- probably.
