My name is Linsey and I am a college senior. I grew up in the country around many animals. My parents joke was that I knew everyone by what pets they had. Honestly, It was the truth. I am crazy obsessed with animals. My family has a small hobby farm where we raise our own animals for meat and assorted other animals. I also showed and raised sheep through 4H. I have been in contact with pretty much every kind of domesticated and farm animal there is, and I still want to know more.
Anyway, I currently live in a small apartment with my roomie, her cat, my dog, and my bunny. In May I will be graduating with my Bachelors degree and moving to Syracuse to live with my boyfriend. He also has 2 cats and a puppy, and a huge heart.
Lets just say I have lots of opportunities to get my animal fix in!
Anyway, Back to my lovely pets.
First, I have a 3-year old Belgian Malinois mix, named Ellie. She is absolutely my baby and the light of my life. She was actually a gift from a friend. Her and I have one of the strongest bonds ever, she isnt happy unless she is next to me or she can see me. I do have problems with her though. Belgian Malinois are often used in the military or police departments for their extreme drive. Ellie is extremely protective of me and my belongings. I have had to work hard to override this.
My bunny is named Melvin, and he is a joy to be around. I have had him about a month and a half and he is a young mini-rex, possibly a mix. My dad brought home him and a few others and Melvin managed to sneak into my car and make in back to school with me. He is not free range, but he is out of his cage for at least 5 hours a day when I am home to supervise. He is full of spunk and not very cuddly but he loves to interact with me.
Recently He has started to date my dog. He is obsessed with her, and with playing with her. He loves grooming her, chewing on her tail and ears, and laying next to her. He has gotten to the point where he will dead bunny flop next to her for hours.
Luckily, Ellie views the rabbit as hers and although she doesnt really know how to respond to his advances, she does give him kisses and protects him from my roommates cat, Zachary Binx.
My family also has 7 other outside bunnies, laying hens, a border collie/coonhound mix, and we just got 50 baby chicks. So expect a LOT of pictures of random animals.
