I thought it was about time to put up a new blog.
So this will be about my two lovely bunnies Apollo and Sophie. Together they form Team Sophollo
. Here is a link to their previous blog for '07- Mis Conejas. I realize I didn't write much about who they are,their personalities and such in my last blog, so here's a short bio on each of them.
Apollo and I are very close, and we understand each other so well. She needs a lot of attention to be happy, but sheâs not demanding about it- she just gives me a look, and I know I have to go and pet her.:bow If Iâm really busy with other things, she starts to feel like Iâm ignoring her and becomes destructive to get my attention. She is really sweet, and loves to give kisses and âgroomâ my clothes. Sheâs mischievous; as a baby she was always getting into something- climbing onto the kitchen table to steal a piece of candy, or onto the counter to chew the toaster cord in half. I remember once she followed a cricket until it stopped moving, and then she ate it!:yuck I was so shocked. Sheâs always been a quirky bun. She was born January 25, â06. The Winter Olympics were on tv, and at the time I guess for some reason I assumed she was a boy. I named her after the speed skating gold medalist Apolo Anton Ohno. Sheâs so full of life, she loves to fly through the house and do huge binkies when sheâs especially happy. She gets very excited about new toys, and binkies for her salad every night. She used to just tolerate being held, but lately she is really starting to like cuddling on the couch with me. I think sheâll be an awesome cuddle bunny in a couple years.
This is from Apollo's first bday, she didn't actually eat the cake.
Sophie is my baby. Sheâs come a long way from the terrified bunny who would dart away and thump her foot if anyone walked within two yards of her. I brought her home in April of â06. I saw her and felt an instant connection, and just couldn't walk away from her. She bonded with Apollo almost immediately, and theyâve been best friends since. Living with Apollo, whoâs always had a great bond with me, helped Sophie to learn to trust people. But I do wish that I had spent more time with Sophie as an individual, and let her get to know me better before introducing her to Apollo. For a long time she only wanted Apolloâs attention. I let her control the pace of our relationship and spent a lot of time on the floor pretending to ignore her. The first time she licked me; the first time she let me pet her without running away, I was so happy I couldâve cried. It took a long time, but she has really come out of her shell, and she has an awesome personality. Sheâs a total sweetheart, and the gentlest bunny ever. Thereâs just something really âharmoniousâ about her, Iâm sure she could make more bunny friends easily. Her binkies are hilarious- she just completely loses control, LOL. She loves to be petted, and cuddled, even though she pretends she doesnât, she canât help but tooth purr.:biggrin2: She still has her moments when she shies away from people, and she still depends on Apollo to be the leader and let her know if something is safe or not.
I love them both way beyond what I can put into words.
They are very closely bonded, and because of them I know I'll never be without a bunny in my life. They have really taught me a lot, and it's just great having bunnies around.:biggrin2:
