| Bunny |
I promised a bunny post didn't I?
Well here ya go.
The bunny was doing horribly this last winter.... there were a few times that I was pretty sure I'd come home from work and the poor thing would be dead. He gets really depessed in the winter cuz he hates being inside.... and I was working a shit ton this past winter so the poor guy was prolly lonely.
Anyways we were gonna move in into my condo - maybe - but we didn't want him to have to deal with all the stress of moving and shit cuz he was already pretty stressed out. Soooo.... I took him to my parent's a few weeks before I moved and he lived on their porch. He perked up quite a bit... but he was still not 100% better.
My mom agreed that he prolly wouldn't last through another winter, so we decided once the green stuff starting growing in the forest to put his cage down in my parent's backyard (it backs onto a nice forest) and let him go.
he absolutely loved it. He rolled around in the dirt got as muddy as possible and became the healthiest, happiest rabbit I have ever seen.
He wouldn't go very far from his cage at first.... but eventually he was romping around the entire back yard and into the forest and back.
He always came back.
We were just wondering what we were gonna do with him, my parents were in the process of having their backyard dug out for a pool - don't worry he was appropriately locked on the deck high above the backyard when the workers were there. But even then locked up on the porch he was still happy... he's chase the workers around the porch (they were putting the finishing touches on the veranda/porch/balcony thing.) and the workers fell in love with him. So they wanted to take him. Two did anyways. The one's wife said no. The other had hunting dogs and figured it wouldn't be a good idea.
So what to do with him?
Well one day some people, who are going with the same builders as the people who built my parent's house, came to look at the house for ideas on their own house that they hadn't started yet.
Apparantly they had *just* been at the pet store looking for a bunny but the pet store had none.
So they took Switch.
Mom, Dad and 2 kids. One boy one girl. Switch LOVES kids... he grew up around em.
So.... now he's a super happy bunny with kids of his own who take him outside to play on a regular basis.
And he's already proven that even with a safe lush forest he doesn't run away.
I miss my bunny... but the balcony I have in my new apt is not animal safe. I won't let my cats out there.... let alone the bunny. It has a space large enough for bunnies to throw themselves off of. and I'm 10 floors up. So that really wouldn't have been good.
And there's really no place for him inside the apt cuz my second bedroom is actually a bedroom that I have set up as a guest room for people to sleep over.
but it all worked out great so no worries.mood: ( tired)
