Angela had told me that a few of you would be interested to know how Patrick and Luna (Angela's foster bun) are getting along. They are doing well -- Patrick is taking on a more protective role and Luna has been busy exploring her surroundings.
Patrick was so cute that first night, Saturday, because he wanted Luna to follow him and hang out in his favorite places. He hopped up to Luna's box and then started toward the door to go out of the bunny room while looking over his shoulder to see if she was following. When he realized she wasn't, he went back to her and hung out by her box. Poor thing, he just doesn't understand that she needs the time to adjust to the household before she gets full run of the house. onder:
Luna is starting to get used to the noises of the house and also my boy cat. He is the only one whocan jump the baby gate and just wants attention from me. So I sit and pet both Patrick and the cat together to let Luna see that he isn't a threat and that Patrick is comfortable with the cat around. If I stop petting Patrick, he runs over to Luna and plays a protector role to make sure the cat understands that he is in charge. So brave....!!!
I took a picture earlier today to post, but didn't realize I would need an on-line site to host pictures. The picture is of Patch and Luna taking their early afternoon nap (vs. late morning nap which is altogether different)together in Luna's box. They spend a lot of time bouncing between boxes and eating each other's foods. I can't wait to let Luna have full run of the house. She had done a few binkies already, but I can't wait to see the racing and running binkies.
Also had a couple of side-notes... I just wanted to let Pipp know that I saw Hoppkins' picture in her post about why to adopt a rescue rabbit. I actually e-mailed to find out more information on him from his petfinder posting. I fell in love with him the moment I saw his pictures. I was informed that he was already adopted. I was sad I never would have the chance to hold him, but happy he had found a great home.
Wabbitdad, I read some of your bunny-blogs and wish so much to see your big beautiful bunnies. I have already told Angela that having a pair of Flemish Giants would be my dream bunny-bond. I love Patrick and Luna dearly, but having a bunny that has weight and heft to hold and hug would make me so happy. I hope I will have a pair of Giants some day many years out....
I hope to get more picturesto post as Luna and Patrick learn more about each other. Having them out and about with the rest of the family will be the goal in the next week or two. So far, so good... I will have to take some credit for another great bunny-match -- Maggie and Benjamin, and now Patrick and Luna.:bunnyhug:
