Ashley & Kristin Start Their New Life

Well the new bunnies have been home now for about a month. I am a rabbit person. I grew up in 4-H clubs and traded my ducks for rabbits at the tender age of twelve. My last pet bunny, Jasper, passed away last year at the ripe old age of ten. Bunnies, if well-cared for and kept away from predators, can live 8-10 years. I know why God made these furry little creatures so cute - because they can tear down a house from room to room without the help of modern tools. They are very smart and very inquisitive in nature and LOVE to chew anything and everything! I know because I went through three bedroom lamps when Jasper chewed through the cords to them. You'd think I would know that everything needs to be "bunny proofed" but I must have occasional brain freezes and forget or it's old age. Anyway these two lovely ladies I have adopted from No Splitting Hares Rabbit Rescue have noticed that my old house needs some updating and have kindly decided to help by slowly shredding my kitchen wallpaper. Apparently blue is not their color! Now that the electrical cords are safely encased in plastic tubing and up off the ground and the remaining wallpaper has been taped to the wall (insert laugh!) I am starting to enjoy their interesting personalities and little tricks. They are cute beyond belief and Lilly the dog loves them unconditionally. She has also influenced them in learning to sit up and beg for food. Watch for the Bunny Cam here on the blog in the near future!
