Hi! Nice to meet you!
First me, then the bunnies. I have two rabbits, I'm 24 years old, andwe live in St George, Utah. I discovered bunny love a fewyears ago when I took in an orphaned baby rabbit. I named him P.J. andwas really in love with him! A year later, he was killed, just afterI'd ordered him a tiny tuxedo to be the 'best man' at my wedding. Seehis story at the rainbow bridge for more...
After that I though I'd never own another rabbit. I got married andmoved across town. One very cold night, about a year later, my husbandwas out patrolling (he's an officer) on agraveyard shift,andnearly hit a lump of fur in the roadway what he though wasroadkill. Just before heran over it, it turned into theheadlights. My husband slammed on thebrakes and got out toinspect. As he walked around to the front of the car he discovered itwas a rabbit!Hebent down to pick it up and ithopped away.He followed after it, and it hopped away again.Now this was no laughing matter!He demanded that it stop - inthe name of the law!It continued to hop. He called forbackup, and another officer arrived on scene to help him try toapprehend the perp. They followed it through front yards and backyards,making kissy noises as they tried to catch it. What the neighbors musthave though looking out their window, seeing two officers chasing abunny rabbit across the lawn, is beyond me! The eventually cornered itin a backyard and HA! - they caught the little devil! My husbandescorted it to the back seat of his patrol car. It immediatly huddledup next to the floor heater. The rabbit was taken to the shelter andbooked in. Now here is where my husband made his famous mistake.... Thenext morning he told me about it. That morning I snuck up tothe shelter to have a look. He was a cutie - a dark brown Lop withblack shading. I was reluctant, I figured he'd probably escaped abackyard or a hutch. I waited a few days but no one claimed him. Theshelter said he'd be put down soon. Heck no! I adopted him! Wasn't myhusband excited! We named him CAMO because he's hard to seeagainst a natural background. We have no idea how old he is. He hasn'tgrown at all in the time we've had him.
About a year after we'd had Camo, I realized he was lonely. Both me andmy husband were gone a lot for work. Whether he had left a companionbehind, I wasn't sure. I decided to get another rabbit, a baby one Icould raise to be cuddly. I got another male, a brown and white Dutch.We named him BRODY, because that's what he does around the kitchentable. We're still trying to littlerbox train him.
Camo and Brody have bonded VERY well, even though they are both males.They are both fixed, which I think, is the reason they can get along.
Sorry my introduction is so long-winded, but thanks for reading - andI'm really happy to have found a website dedicated to bunnies!

That would have been so adorable at your wedding.
