on my way to out stake woman's conference I passed a some neighbors selling little bunnies, I called Cameron to tell him about it, thinking that the kids would have a fun time looking at the bunnies, I ended the conversation with "I really don't think we want a bunny right now"
When I came home from the conference, everyone was gone and Cameron had forgotten his phone. I noticed a brand new rabbit water bottle but there wasn't a bunny in sight. so I wasn't sure what to think. When the kids got home they ran to the back yard to show me our new pet hiding behind the toy box on our back patio. He is awfully cute...
With our previous bunny we made the mistake of letting him roam free in the back yard most of the time and he eventually dug under the fence and hasn't been seen for 2+ years... we like to imagine that he found a nice home somewhere and is loving life. With little Nibbles we have a pretty strict rule that if he is out of his hutch someone has to be outside with him and that someone has to be older then 2.
our last bunny also like to chew up cords and books whenever he was inside so we have a rule that Nibbles has to sit on someone's lap when he is indoors, and again 1 year olds are not to be left alone with the bunny. not that they don't love the bunny, the problem is they love his too much. I like to think of this as practice for when we bring home a newborn in a few weeks.
Lilly gets especially upset when it's not her turn to hold Nibbles, she is pretty sure she should have all the turns. which makes me nervous for when she has a new little brother.
I think as far as pets go rabbits are my favorite, you can love them and cuddle them unlike a fish, but they aren't in your face like cats tend to be, they also don't bark through the night like some dogs do.
so far Nibbles seems to tolerate the extra love from his two greatest admirers. hopefully that doesn't change.
we are all pretty excited about our newest addition.
