Hi there! I figured I should start a blog for Levi so I could tell his story and share his pictures! :biggrin2:
Levi is from California.. My husband and I have never been to California before. Wondering how we obtained the little guy? Read on!
The Pastor of our church, John, was visiting his In-Laws in California one week. It all started with the cat! Haha! The cat was outside running around where he met a little bunny friend (Levi's brother) who followed the cat in and onto John's Father-In-Law's lap (seriously! Both the cat and bunny hopped on up.) So this bunny had found his home.. however, Levi was still outside in the heat and in the wild! John had been on a few walks throughout the week and had seen Levi twice. Levi ran from him each time. Finally, the third time John approached the frightened little bunny, he stopped and looked at him and started talking to him. "Look here, bunny. I know your Creator... and if you stay out here, you're gonna die. Let me pick you up, and I promise I will find you a great home." So John walked right over and picked him up.
Next, John had to go and figure out if the little guy belonged to anyone in the neighborhood. He went to each and every house and asked if the bunny belonged to them. Most people pointed towards one particular house and suggested that the bunny belonged to "them" if anyone! So John made his way over to the house. The door was hanging wide open and John knocked on the door. "Hello?" He could see a woman standing a ways back but she wouldn't respond. "Does this bunny belong to you?" Still no response! John stood there for a few more seconds, then left. Well, he tried, right?!
John and his wife stopped at a store and purchased some bedding, a styrofoam cooler with holes poked in the top, some hay and some pellets.. as well as a little cut-down cup for water. He traveled from California to Arizona via car and John mentioned the bunny to my Husband, who is the Youth Pastor at our church. John knows how crazy I am about my animals.. and to give you an idea about how crazy that is.. I have worked in the Veterinary Field as a Nurse for about 7 years (not certified), and am now a Stay at Home Mommy. I looove my animals!
My husband asked if I would like him to bring the bunny home. Obviously he has approved of it, so my only question was, "Why are you even asking? Where's my bunny?!" Hehe! He went to Men's Group that night and came home with the little guy. He was just so tiny! And had the cutest little baby mane.
Also, his name is a Biblical name. Both "Levi" and his middle name, "Abner" are names from the Bible (Hebrew names). Levi means "attached" hence the blog name, and "Abner" means Father is Light. Which Jesus IS! Thank you, Lord!! <3
Doesn't he look like a little Guinea Pig? Hehee!
We love our little guy! If you have read all of the above, then you are brave! Your reward is the photos below! :bunnyheart
Still a little baby, being held by his Daddy.
Back when he stayed in the dog kennel only. Those are some cute little legs, right?!
Moved on up to his big boy house! And his hairs a growin'!
And again.
Woops.. don't leave brand new litter boxes in the floor for your toddler to sit in! Haha! Promise it hadn't been used yet!
This is his house now!
The dog kennel for a get-away! Just in case he needs a little private time to himself.
I think this little guy needs some new toys!
Cuddle time! Levi the bunny with his brother, the dog.. Goose. Haha, confused yet?!
Hey, those are my kisses, Levi! :biggrin:
Some braids are okay every once in awhile, right??
Handsome feather head!
My very own Jackalorn!
Thanks for reading! Have a lovely day!
