Well.... here is what happened. I've wanted a rabbit for a long time now - but when I lived home I couldn't have one.

First thing I did when I moved out (about a year ago) was get a ball python (which I also wasn't allowed to have) and get him settled.

Well... a couple weeks ago I started seriously looking into getting a rabbit, but had planned to wait awhile. I've done a ton of research and had a very good idea of what breed I wanted, the setup and all that.

Well... my plans kinda got fast forwarded. I went to the animal shelter just to see... and well... I fell in love with this little black and tan that was an absolute cuddle monster. The minute they took him out he ran right over to me and put his little front legs on my legs and lifted his head up to be pet. So I'm still planning on waiting when my boyfriend brings the bunnies chart over - little guy is scheduled to be put down Friday.

So... its a little sooner than I expected but Bill is coming home tomorrow. He is about 10 months old - and the nice thing is that included in the adoption fee is a nueter/spay - so they are neutering him today and I can take him home tomorrow. I feel like I kind of rushed into it -but I had done all my research I was just going to wait until after the holidays since they can be hectic. (Though I got him a playpen so I can bring him to my dad's house when I go there for the holidays - he only lives 20 minutes away so it won't be a rough trip on the bunny)

But now I have a place all set up for the little guy - I went absolutely crazy at the petstore - my boyfriend was trying to convince me I didn't need a giant outdoor playpen in the middle of winter but this little guy is getting EVERYTHING. According to his surrender form he is already mostly litter trained - the people were moving and didn't want to take a bunny with them.

Well... I'll keep you guys updated on his progress, I can't wait till he can have free run of the house but I know I gotta take it slow - but in the meantime here is a picture of Bill from the shelter. i'll post more once I get him home!
