I have so much fun reading everyone's blogs, I figured that Sweet D deserved one too!
Guess I'll start by explaining how this silly little creature came into my life. About a year ago, I moved from Chicago to Little Rock Arkansas. I live with my Brother and Sister-in-Law. They have a cat and I have a cat (Harvey the tripod). I've always loved animals, all shapes and sizes, and have had many throughout the years. Growing up we always had dogs because my dad is allergic to pretty much everything else. I had a big floppy eared bunny as a lil girl named April, but we had to get rid of her because his allergies got so bad.
When I moved in with my Bro and Sis-in-Law, I really wanted to get a dog - but since my Sis-in-Law doesn't like dogs, that was out. Then I thought about getting a bunny. They weren't thrilled at first, but eventually, said they didn't care. My family has close friends that raise rabbits and I asked if they had any pet quality rabbits available. They said they had some Himalayans ready to go. I didn't even know what a Himalayan was at the time. I didn't care what kind it was, I just wanted one!
My sister went for me and to pick one out (They live an hour away). While she was there she sent me pics of the few that were available. They were all cute little white bunnies w/ typical Himalayan markings, except for one. The smallest of the litter was almost solid gray and he just looked so silly compared to his siblings, I knew he was the one for me. I have a thing for ugly duckling types and underdogs, ie: I adopted a 3-legged cat, pretty much just because he had 3 legs! LOL.
So this tiny little thing came home to me and it was love at first sight. It took forever for me to pick a name. Eventually I went with Sweet D (an homage both to his sweet personality and to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, one of my favorite tv shows). Most of the time, I just call him BunBuns, or something to that effect. His full name is Sweet D Bunny B. The B is for boy. :confused2:
Harvey was not so sure... (This was after I'd had him a few weeks)
Although the cat is 4x his size, he had no fear!
From the start, he was a complete and absolute love bug:
Of course, eventually, he shed his gray fur and now, he's a handsome 3 pound, 10 month old boy and I'm even more in love. He makes me laugh constantly, and he's just plain awesome.
He loves bath time:
Playing outside:
Snuggle time w/ my little sis:
And veggies!
More to come soon! Thanks for reading!
