Karen, could you post some more pictures of Dobby? He looks a lot like my first bunny, who I miss every day. My sweet Cinnabun, who has been gone for 10 years (and 1 month), and who kindled my love of bunnies.

Not my favorite pic, but this is why I split the two. Scared me to no end.
One of my first really good pics that I love of Dobby. This is when they had the temporary out door run. It was a big dog crate and a little fence. The bunny run has come a long way since then.
My favorite baby picture of Dobby.
Dobby's favorite spot when he's out and about. I never knew of House bunnies until I came here. He's such a gentleman when he's out. So glad I found out about what a House bunny is.
Takes Dobby a bit to get used to his surroundings. He's very cautious. First time in his out door run, he found more security in the carrier. But once he warms up to a place, he does have a ball.
Here some pics of him having a ball in the X-pen. This was just before we got the new bunny run up and going.
And just after he did his "Bunny Flop". Am so thrilled that he is so comfortable with life now.
Hope you enjoyed! I always like to help those who miss their bunnies. Especially those bunnies who put such a loving mark on someone's heart! Just like My Dobby has done to me! Bunnies are just so AWESOME

Sure I could. Hoping this helps. In honor of your Cinnabun. Must have been a very special bunny, who gave you the life long love of such unique critters, as my Dobby has.

Awww, poor Dobbers with the hair chunks missing from his face! I can see why you separated them! Thanks so much for posting pictures of him. In some of them, he looks so much like Cinnabun. The 4th and 5th pictures especially. Here are some albums I made with photos of Cinnabun 10 years ago: http://pets.webshots.com/album/47059636zdGvuI?start=0
http://pets.webshots.com/album/65177982qdcpkI
Back in the day when I had to scan all the photo prints As a humorous side note, the date the first album was created is now my wedding anniversary
Cinnabun was a very special bunny. I had a rather rough adolescence (didn't do anything bad or anything, it was just a rather dreary few years) and Cinny was my best bud. It was terrible when he died. I won't go into the specifics on your blog, but it was even harder because I didn't have any other bunnies to love and had to wait a looong 5 years until I was out living on my own and could get another bunny. Enter Rory A bunnyless home is not a home to me.

Thanks so much for sharing those pics of your sweet Cinnabun. I can see a resemblance of my Dobby. Absolutely love the pics of Cinnabun and his friend, your dog. Dobby has such a great relationship with Jake too. When out and about, Dobby always goes and visits Jake and have found them laying together and chilling.
And have the same feelings you do. A bunnyless home is not a home to me. There will always be a bunny in my home. They are my saving grace at a very sad, dark time. I am eternally grateful for what they have given back to me at this time in my life.

Hehe, the dog was Daisy, our neighbor's dog. I dogsat her a lot! Her owners went on vacation frequently and she'd stay with us, then they had a baby and she basically moved in with us She was great with Cinnabun. He was terrified of every other dog (not that we let them near him or anything, but when he saw them through the sliding glass door and when another neighbor's dog ran in our house once).
Aren't we lucky to have our bunners? I'm so glad you've found something to help you after the death of your son. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a child My best friend when I was growing up had leukemia three times... Once when she was 6, then a relapse at 9, then a relapse at 12. The last relapse killed her at the age of 13 I know losing your best friend isn't anywhere near the same as losing your child, but I am a little familiar with the devastation of childhood leukemia because of it

Yes truly believe we are very lucky to have our bunners. And they have been the best medicine a broken heart can have. So sorry about your childhood friend. Leukemia is a very ugly disease and no matter what some just can't shake it, while others thankfully do. Child or friend, a devastating loss to those who love them.

Daisy's owners loved her too, they were just super busy with their baby and she got more attention at our house They paid for her food and vet bills and everything and we got to enjoy her company! I also babysat their son. They were a nice couple
Karen, I will be thinking of you and your husband and your son! His name was Henry, right? That's the name Paul and I have picked out if we're ever lucky enough to have a little boy.

Update on ZRabbits:
My Neville is growing up. On June 24th my "Heart" Bunny turns 6 months. He's considered a man in the "Fancy" World. I look at him and think, "He's just not ready." "He's still a baby". Then snap out of it and realize he's a rabbit. And rabbit's maturity level rises very young.
With growing up comes molting. And with a wool breed, its a whole different ball game.
Neville is considered an "ugly" in the show arena by some Lion Head breeders as a kit. That Double Mane gene is just so hard to figure out and get the result wanted at Jr. and Sr. Not that these breeders think the DM were really ugly, but because of too much wool on the face and the saddle and skirt at Jr's with no way of knowing (which they can't predict the future) what the Lion Head will look like at Sr.
Now I know why. It's amazing the transformation I've been watching.
2 months
2 months saddle shot
4 months
Almost 6 months. Taken two weeks ago
Taken today
Really see his saddle forming and his skirt shortening.
Oh on the agility note, out on the course, Luna had a ball. Unfortunately at the time I was tending the garden, but Neville found another way of using it.
But he did do a LOT of this today. Good exercise either way.
Kreacher had a ball. Here's my Black Polish.
And I can't forget My Bunny Watcher!

Yea, Jake is back to his ole self. He was really sick, but this 13 yr old is back acting like a puppy. Like he has all his life.
My thoughts are still with Cotton. Hoping he's doing well and still eating his kale (YAY). And he gets home soon.

Thanks Lindsey! I won't complain about the molting. Not even close to what you go through. But I do have a baggie of his hair. Just can't get over how soft the wool is.

I have to agree, since getting Neville and Luna, I love all the different varieties that can be a lion head. Single and Double Mane. Can see how it's so hard to pin down what a true lion head is.Love Neville's fluffy face. The unpredictability and craziness of a lionheads fur is what I LOVE!

Thanks Shiloh, I will say Neville is very handsome, but then I'm prejudice. lol

Update on ZRabbits:
Since sleep was never going to happen, both my Husband and I decided to let Dobby and Willard get a taste of being a real rabbit. At 3:30 am, we ventured out to the bunny run. Beautiful early morning. Was kind of reminicent to our Scuba Diving days. Those early drives to the boat.
Anyway, since rabbits are active at this time of day, taking them out gave them a chance to really let their hair down. lol Our backyard has motion detectors and a dimmer. Once the dimmer went off, they were in darkness, with the birds coming awake, and being a shadow like their ancestors. And did they RUN! What manuevers, what speed. I was absolute amazed my Dobby, "the Couch Potato" could move like that. Willard, with his dark coat, was like a shadow. That's all you saw was his outline. I had to set off the motion detectors twice to see how deep Willard had gotten too. Right now they both are completely wiped out. Giving them this experience, was worth the lost sleep.
Yep, my boys enjoyed their venture into the Wild Side.
Sorry, no pics. Was having too much fun watching them enjoy.
