Elf's Bunny Blog

[Elf Mommy]

This is to be the blog of Elf bunny. She was born in lateNovember of the year 2001. Some pet store owners thought it was a good idea to take that imp of a 4 week old infant bunny and sell her as a "dwarf" rabbit. Elf's Mommy, Minda, has a wonderful family, who knew she really wanted a rabbit of her very own. So, on Christmas Eve, our own little "Elf" came home.

Through years of being on this message board, we have learned a lot about our Elf. She is a Palomino rabbit, not a dwarf. Pals are raised mainly as meat rabbits, so she's a nice sized rabbit. Not as big as a Flemish Giant, but still a healthy size when compared with a standard rabbit. She has the most laid back temperment I've ever had with a rabbit, although all of my rabbits have been sweethearts.

We live in Florida, and Elf loves to go outside on her leash. She is in a palace of a cage built with NIC cubes. We visit the park. She loves her porch to hop about.

Elf shares her home with my two children, my husband, a 4 year old boxer and myself.

It was really difficult to pick out photos today. Forgive me for the overload, but she is just such a cutie and a ham! I'm in a wheelchair right now, so every time I go by her cage I give her a treat or some pets. When I came up to her cage this time with the camera, I didn't give her anything right away. She has this incredulous look in most of the photos because she just doesn't understand why I'm standing right there and not doling out affection or food.

I have to say that is my 'dream' bunny. Just the kind i've always thought look extra 'rabbitish' Like a real rabbit.

I just love Elf.. I never knew she was sold as a dwarf LOL! What a surprise it must have been once she was fully matured! Aww!

Such a kissable nosey!

:inlove:

 

[Elf Mommy]

pink, hubby had actually picked out a black lop, but my son thought this rabbit was muchmore what mommy wanted. He was right. She's perfect.

Spring, yes, hubby told me I was feeding her too much. hehe The best part of it is, she loves to have her nose kissed! She stays perfectly still, eyes closed and lets you kiss on her. Such a sweetheart!

Oh my! What GREAT pictures!! I just loved them! Your Boxer is gorgeous - just lovely. And Elf is adorable - I love the picture with her mouth on the cage - soooo cute. I'm so excited about your blog! :biggrin2:I hope you are O.K.. too. :hug:

 

[Elf Mommy]

Trailsend, Thank you!!! I wish I could support a crew like yours! I'm actually in quite a bit of pain tonight, but I really pushed myself too hard this weekend...sigh...

I love Elf so much - she is just SO stunningly beautiful!


Please give her a big kiss from me!:big kiss:

ELF-ie!! you're sooo cute!!

you know, when i saw that pic of her biting on her cage-bars, i wanted to comment on how she looked like a chinchilla.. but then i scrolled further down and saw that you had beaten me to it :biggrin2: i love that pic! her mouth & ears & feet are so cute there! and the way she angles her bum to the side, lol, too sexy!!

oh, and Buttons looks a little like Elf, esp their colouring!

 

[Bo B Bunny]

She does look like a chinchilla in that one photo!

Tony gives me that look of confusion as to why he's not getting something edible if I am looking at him. LOL!

She is adorable and the minute I saw her I knew I'd have a palomino one day.... that's who I thought of when I got Tony..... They showed me this adorable bunny and I said "OMG it's a pal? it looks like Elf!" and my kids looked at me like "Who?" LOL!

Is she ever cute! I don't know much about Palomino buns, apart from their general size. She is gorgeous and so sweet-looking! I especially love the "chinchilla" and "bunny lips" photos.

[Elf Mommy]

Kisses given!!!

I don't know how I'd ever get along without her. I love her color, too! I highly recommend Palomino rabbits.

 

[slavetoabunny]

:inlove: Elf is such a gorgeous rabbit!! Who could resist giving kisses to that adorable nose?

 

[Haley]

Yay! An Elf update!

She is such a beautiful (and photogenic rabbit). I love the photos of her pressed up against her pen!

 

[juliew19673]

Those are hysterical - but I think you need to edit the one with caption that currently reads "Raisin please" to "RAISIN - NOW Woman!" He does look slightly peeved in that photo - an almost "disapproving" photo!! Cute family you have - and you should try to take it easy w/a good bunny cuddle...

 

[Elf Mommy]

caption adjusted

 

[juliew19673]

:blueribbon: LOL you are too funny as is Elf!

 

[LuvaBun]

YAY!!! I am so happy to have Elf updates (sorry, but you will have to throw yourself down steps more often - jk )

I have always loved Elf - for newer members, Elf is just the most Family Friendly bun I think there is . Like Bo, she is the reason I one day want a Pal (as well as Bub and now Tony). She is not only beautiful, but has such a wonderful nature (and the most magnificent dewlap )

Thanks for updating, and hope you heal quickly - no more over doing it, OK!

Ouch you need to take it easy and just concentrate on giving us more piccies :biggrin2:

She is very adorable i love the chinchilla stance too what a gorgeous girl

Much to her dismay, Elf is often the subject of my photos when I play a game online named "Photohunt." A topic is given and 20 minutes is allowed to go shoot a photo addressing the topic. You upload the photo and post it at the end of the 20 minutes. It is judged against other photos addressing the same topic.

Today the topic was "alert." I knew those bunny ears were a good bet to win, so I went and took some photos of Elf. She didn't win (she's not happy about that), but I thought I would share the photos from that 20 minutes with you.

So, how do you make a rabbit "alert?" Well, show her a raisin, of course!

However, I didn't GIVE her the raisin. I only showed it to her. She showed her disapproval by picking up her toy ball and throwing it at me.

Bunny slave corrected!

She also had to show her disapproval of the dog getting involved. No raisins for Kirby!

Extremely insistent that the raisins needed to keep coming!

I asked my daughter to retrieve the ball to put it back in her cage. She put it in Elf's Pet Taxi. Elf was quick to show us how much she disapproved of THAT!

How can you mistake the put out look in these photos???

 

[LuvaBun]

Oh, look at Elf's sweet little face. How could cruel mommy not give her a raisin???

She sure didn't want that ball in her pet taxi, did she? Elf knows her own mind, y'know .
