Hi, I'm Jessica (and I'm a redhead = redjess lol)! I'm going to warn you I LOVE my family and my animals and I take a lot of pictures. I am so happy to have found people who love animals to the point that everyone else thinks we are nuts most of the time. :biggrin2:Ok off now to the important stuff.....
We JUST got Hopscotch, a 6 month old Flemish Giant,last Sunday! Unfortunately we had a space in our household open up. We had a hamster, Little G, named after my boyfriend who bought him for my daughter 3 years ago, pass away a month ago. Sorry to start on a sad note. On the bright side I realized my daughters are old enough now for something bigger...... a rabbit maybe.... or even better a HUGE rabbit..... oh I know, maybea Flemish Giant rabbit!!!!! :yahoo:So the search was on!
But first in honor of our sweet Little G here is a pic of his cuteness:
Now adding an animal is a big decision, so I had to take into account if a rabbit would be a good addition for us and for the rabbit. So first to consider were my two daughters! My girls are 14 and 11. They are amazing, responsible,and they love animals as much if not more than I do.
My girls
My oldest, 14, starts High school on Monday!! (Yes I am freaking out, I can't believe she is this old and has her first boyfriend!) :shock::scared:
Ok next to consider were our darling "babies" Drake and Cookie our crazy cats. We adopted Cookie a yearago from the SPCA during a trip to help my boyfriend's parents find a cat. I almost didn't go because animals in need aremy weakness. Well I was strong, I did my hardest to NOT fall in love and come home with a cat. Luckily Cookie made my boyfriend fall in love!!! I was SO excited when I found out he is a softy just like I am. All it took was for him to mention he was interested in the kitten, next he had to talkME out of getting TWO. Now my sweetie, Drake was adopted by his parents the same day, they got 3 catsthat day. Unfortunately one of the 3 HATED poor Drake and would beat him up. So Drake did the smart thing and made best friends with me, so he is now my baby. :heartsSo I did my research and found out cats are normally good if not great with rabbits. YAY!
Drake and Cookie LOVE each other. Cookie is the one with more white. They are spooning. lol
Okay next I had to consider our other babies (not really turtles are harmless, I just wanted to show pictures lol.) We are turtle CRAZY! In fact we are known as "The turtle people"So these are some pics:
Lois, she is a Sulcata Tortoise and the prettiest girl in the world.
My Itty Bitty, he was rescued from a low abandoned pool and his mud turtle gang:
I have MANY more turtles and pictures, but I will save those till later!
So there was one more hurdle to getting our Hopscotch, my amazing boyfriend, Geoffrey. :biggrin:I am the luckiest girl in the world to have a man who loves me so much and puts up with my wanting every animal. It took some convincing but Geoff said YES, we can get our big bunny!!! :woohoo (But "he wasn't picking up poo or cleaning the cage." LOL! I said DUH, you have never even cleaned the litter box one time, since YOU fell in love and had to get Cookie. lol) So here is a picture of me and my very loved, amazing man:
So since we decided a rabbit was a GREAT fit for our family my search for our new family member began.............. to be continued with lots of Rabbit pics!!!!:bunnyheart Yes I know this is mean to not even post one bunny pic, sorry! But, I want to tell you the WHOLE story of our new girl.
