Morgan
Hi everyone! My name is Morgan and my rabbit is Bunny Foo Foo. We just call her Bun.
I am a 22 year old stay at home mom of an almost 16 month old son named Anderson.
We live in a small, 90+ year old farm house on 5 acres of land, where we have our small 'farm'. (When I say "we" I say that lightly, because its mostly just "me" with the animals)
I have two chickens, they're Blue Jersey Giants, although neither one of them are blue. The rooster is a splash, so he's mostly white with a few really nice blue feathers, and the hen is a blue/black. She looks black, but when she gets in the sun you can see the blue sheen to her. We will be adding more chickens to the flock soon, so I can start selling the eggs.
I have four cats. Three are inside, but go out during the day. They are: Smedley, a rescue from a parking lot. Shes 12 and the mother of Cali, who is 11.
Then, Smokey, she was a sort of rescue. We lived in an apartment when we were teenagers and the little old cat lady died unexpectedly, so we agreed to take her two cats because her niece didn't know what to do with them. Smokey was only about one when we got her, she was the smartest cat and so sweet. She fit right in. When we moved she came with us and we wouldn't have it any other way. The other cat that I took, was 17 years old and it total kidney failure. So, I caught her one day and took her to my vet and had her put to sleep. Its an unfortunate thing to have to do with a cat you've only met once, but I did the right thing.
Last but not least in the cats is Bronco, our outside tom cat. He and his sister were dropped off at my house when they were about four weeks old. I found them and fed them. It took them a while to come to us but they stayed around. I had the sister (Sasha) spayed and she stayed here for about six months after that, then disappeared. Bronco is still here and he just got neutered two weeks ago. He is the sweetest tom cat I've ever met and a born mouser, so he's great to have around.
We also have a dingo dog. His name is Woody and hes constantly under foot. But he is great with my son, he lets my son pull his fur and tail and lets any kid hang on him and pet him. Hes also very protective of my chickens, and had chased away several raccoon's.
Soon, hopefully we will be adding a few alpacas to our farm, to make it a real farm! I'm in the process of trying to find the right place to get them. I want them for only wool, no showing or breeding. So I've looked at some rescues and I think I found one that I like in PA. Unfortunately we live in SC. But, my husbands family lives in Pittsburgh, so when we go up there in March, we might be able to pick up the alpacas while we're there. As long as they accept my application and we get our barn renovation finished in time. I know it seems like a crazy thing to want, but they're amazing. I always joked with my husband and told him if we get anymore farm type animals, I want it to be alpacas or ostriches. Then last weekend we were in Charleston, SC at the slave market and we found this teddy bear who was super fluffy. I picked him up and could not believe how soft the fur was. It was like petting air it was so soft. I looked at the tag and saw 'alpaca' and made my hub feel it. He didn't know what it was, thought maybe rabbit. But then I told him alpaca and I saw the spark in his eye! We've been talking about it since Sunday and I've almost got him convinced to let me get them! Everyone keep your fingers crossed with me for the alpacas!
Wow, that was a lot about me! hahahaha.
I'll share some stuff about Bunny Foo Foo now. She is a 3 year old white mini lop. She has two small reddish spots on her back and her ears have reddish fur. She isn't show quality or anything like that. But she's my sweet girl and I love her dearly. She is very smart. I finally got around to litter training her,(I don't know why I didn't do it sooner) It took her about a week to get a hang of the litter box (different litters and all) and now she is so good at it! She likes the kiln fired pine pellets, its like the equivalent of feline pine, just with a smaller price tag and its for horse stalls. ($8 for a 40# bag) I scoop it out every day and she uses it like an old pro! She doesn't have a NIC cage yet, but once we get our house painted I'm going to build her one. She has one of those gigantic pet store cages that is a little small, but she only stays in there at night. She spends her days roaming my kitchen, rearranging. Stalking my cats and dog, and starring at my son though the baby gate. She probably wonders why he's always screaming at her. He wants to get to her so bad, but I haven't introduced them yet and I'm waiting until he's a little older. She never runs from him though. She loves my cats, especially Smedley, who is the best mama cat EVER. She cleans the bun and cleans Cali(her daughter) and cleans my son. The bun also loves the dog. The dog will sleep in the kitchen and the bun will flop down next to him and relax for a bit. Its a really funny sight. I can never get a picture though because she always gets up to greet me when I come into the kitchen.
I think thats enough for today, since this is super long.
Thanks for reading!
