Hi all! This is my first post besides my introduction. 
I was expecting to adopt a little boy this Friday, but I got a call this morning saying that they did not feel okay adopting to me because I am moving at the end of May. I took it pretty hard because I had been planning for him and really had my heart set on him. I had made arrangements to pick him up and everything. Now, it seems that fate had a different plan.
Back story: There is a HORRIBLE pet store in town. I have an odd relationship with the owner of the store... They used to get baby rats who had Megacolon in on their rat shipments, and I would take them and have them humanely PTS. One day she asked me to take a blind hairless rat they had and couldn't rehome due to her handicap. This rat had babies a week or so after she was given to me, cannibalized the litter, and died herself only two months after I got her.
Okay now on to how fate is awesome today! I went in the petstore today strictly to tell them that the rat had died. After telling her, she kind of shrugged and didn't seem too interested. Then she looked at me, squinted, and asked if I liked rabbits. Of course I said yes. She said that they had one Easter rabbit left, and needed to get rid of it because they don't normally stock rabbits and this one was taking up too much space. She asked if I would take it. Due to the events of that morning, I was pretty down and... well naturally agreed. Sothanks to a twist of fate, I now have my little girl.
I believe she is a little girl, anyway! I have never had young rabbits, all of my past rabbits have been mature when I got them. I Googled though, and I think I have it right.
I was told she was an American fuzzy lop, and I believe it. I don't know what her coloring is called though, or her age, although I'd say maybe 12 weeks? She's not very old at all. She is so, so sweet and mellow. On the ride home she sat in my lap and just chilled out. Getting her home, I let her hop around a bit in the living room and she just explored everything, but as soon as you start petting her, she leans into your hand and lays down. She really is a sweetheart. I have to get a permanent cage set up for her, right now she's just got a few cube panels strung together (2X3 and only one panel high as she's so little). I had planned on picking up a cage from my friend on my way home from picking up my boy, so now I have to arrange a new time to get the cage down here. For now she is okay. I setthepanelson a chest at the end of my bed and left a panel off so she can go in the cage and go around my bed. Right now she's flopped on one of my pillows.
Here are a few pictures!
I think this one shows her body type off very well.
I've been calling her Mary Jane. Kind of naughty... But it also is a sweet little girl's name. Which she is, so. We've been calling her Bubbie as a nickname.
I'll get some more pictures soon!
