For years I've had no desire for pets. I went through the gamut as a child and young adult; cats, birds, fish, dogs etc. and now in my middle age years I didn't feel like dealing with the responsibility, especially since I know as soon as I have kids pets will come with them.
My wife however is very fond of pets. No biggie, I support her, just again I had no interest. That is until a year ago. I was at a pet store (we visit so many to just look) and in a large pen was this giant freak of a rabbit next to a cage of babies. I was transfixed, I mean for about an hour I just couldn't take my eyes of this rabbit. We left the store, and of course I bah humbuged the affair but for a year the thought of this bunny loomed in the back of my head. To be honest, I just remember my time in the old country on a farm and the rabbits there stunk and seemed a pain and I wanted no part of that. Yet...so I studied, studied a lot about house rabbits and well, when my birthday came around I stunned my wife by saying I want a rabbit. Last week I got my new friend, and while we're still trying to figure each other out I'm just having a blast being around the lil big guy. He's a 16 week Flemish Blue, and when I get the chance I'll post come pics but he's my avatar of course.
