Pardon all the icons and I hope it's okay that I started a new thread to say I GOT THE BUNNY!! http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=9399299
We went to the shelter right after work and there was a bit of a line in the office, but I could see him in the adjoining room! I could barely contain myself and finely got to go in to see him after 15 minutes of waiting. I had worried all day that someone would come in this morning and adopt him. The volunteer had a bit of trouble getting him out of the cage, but as soon as the bunny was put in my arms, he stopped struggling and let me hug him, kiss him, beep his nose and pet his ears.
We went into the "getting to know you" room and I sat on the floor and he wouldn't leave my lap! Just sat there and soaked in the immense amount of love rays I was sending his way. Let me say, he is one SOFT bunny! My goodness, such thick, luxurious fur! You couldn't even see the collar they had on him! He's white with agouti spots, has an agouti muzzle but a dot of white on his nose (how cute is that?). Sometimes one of his ears hangs down like a lop's ear. His eyes are huge and he is absolutely gorgeous and sweet as can be. It was NOT a difficult decision to make!
His history: there was some confusion as to how old he is, one thing said three months (in which case he's gonna be a biiig boy) and one thing says "adult". His former owner dropped him off and told them his name (Belvadere... not anymore!) but no other info. I'm going to bring him to the vet for a check up and hopefully they can say how old he is. He's not been neutered yet, but will be! And they told me he's litter box trained! I could see that from looking in his cage. Also, he's been in there since the 4th, and apparently bunnies go very quickly at this shelter. He was there longer than most bunnies. Considering how wonderful he is, I think this means fate was waiting for silly old me to see his Petfinder ad and come in for him! E2 is the one who pointed him out to me only yesterday (thank you!).
We filled out all the adoption papers and paid the whopping $5 charge, but they said we could leave him there and get him tomorrow so I can get all his stuff ready. They said they'd make sure no one else adopted him by mistake!
His new name is Rhiordan Blackberry Bean, called Rory. I've wanted to name my bunny Rhiordan since I heard the name in 2000! He seems to be the perfect bunny for the name. His middle name, Blackberry is for my favorite Watership Down bunny and Bean is his last name! Hehe, he's Mr. Bean!
Anyway, my apologies for this being so long, I'm just so excited and wanted to share everything with you all. I can't wait to bring my Rory home tomorrow and watch his personality develop. I hope he has a long, happy life with me!
