I'd like to make it official and introduce to you the two newest sweeties under our roof, Rebel and Bingo. They have been named and renamed but I think it's safe to put it in writing at this point. Brett's mom kindly checked in with us about getting the kids bunnies for Christmas and we decided it'd be a great idea. It was actually on my own (semi-kidding) Christmas list two years ago to get one!
She surprised the kids and they were pretty excited about them but Ruby has almost claimed them both as hers. She's our animal lover. I told her she should think about maybe donating a few of the stuffed animals that she's had for awhile since she got a few at Christmas and she got big crocodile tears and told me she didn't think she could because she loved them all so much!
We slowly introduced the bunnies to Sunday, our lab/weim mix, and she's decided they're welcome. She sniffs them and has licked their heads gently but mostly they just kind of sit near each other on the rug. The bunnies aren't scared of her at all and while we wouldn't leave them out while we're not at home, I'm pretty certain they're going to be friends.
It's been a great lesson in responsibility for the kids as it's their job to feed, water, and pick up bunny poo. Ruby gets them out as soon as she's home from school at lunch time and they roam around downstairs for a bit. Smith shrieks with delight every time they hop near him but still needs a little assistance in being gentle with them.
We're learning so much about caring for them and all that they need but we're so thankful for what they've added to our home life.
Oh, and they're both boy bunnies. Yeah, that was triple checked.
