I said a little about Spike in the introductions page (and there are more pics there), but I guess this is where we are supposed to talk about their daily life and stuff? Spike came into our lives 4 years ago. We really wanted a pet, but I refuse to keep a dog in a tiny one bedroom apartment and hubby is badly allergic to cats. A friend of mine (who had 2 buns) harped and harped on my about getting a bunny and kept sending me pics of poor buns that needed to be adopted. I found Spike through her. A girl needed to give him a forever home, and the first time I held him I was in love. :heartshearts I had no idea how much you could bond with a bun and how much affection they crave. Spike likes to follow me around the apartment and sit on my feet when I brush my teeth. He likes to greet me with kisses to the feet or forehead (whatever is closest at the time). Hubby had never had a pet and was terrified at first, but now he loves Spike so much and loves spending time with him like I do. Spike loves his romaine lettuce and greens, hay, and pellets (but those are restricted). He doesn't get too many treats, but when he does, he prefers apples or a bit of pineapple. He is an energetic and lovable little guy and is incredibly spoiled - but very much worth it. :bunnyheart:bunnyheart

This is Spike last Christmas waiting for Santa (don't worry, the stocking came out of the pen after the pic - he would have eaten it before Santa got to it otherwise, lol!)

One of our rescues is named Spike, also. He's a Dutch/Black Otter Mix with the most unique eyes. His right is 2/3 brown and 1/3 blue and his left is 1/3 brown and 2/3 blue.
 
Hi Sam

Glad to see you started a blog for Spike.

He sounds like a real Sweetheart.

Aren't Bunny Kisses just the best:inlove:?

Looking forward to more pictures and stories.

Susan:)




 
What a sweetie - we definitely need to see more pics and hear more about your little guy!
 
Thanks everyone! Spike and I both say thank you for the welcome! Yes, he is a sweetie and his bunny kisses definitely make me happy!

I have spent today trying to help keep him cool in this crazy heat. He is currently sprawled in front of a fan. We have a small a/c unit, but it is working overtime!

I hope everyone else and their buns are keeping cool!:sunshine::sunshine:
 
Aww, what a little cutie - love his name on the Xmas stocking :D

I know you are having it really hot over there. You can always fill a large pop bottle with water and freeze it for Spike to lay next to. I do that, but none of my buns ever lay next to it :rollseyes

I did try that. Spike either tried to eat the bottle or ignored it. But I have kept some in the freezer just in case. If necessary, I thought I could try wrapping it ina towel and maybe he'd cuddle up to it that way? I have a fan set in one spot for him (where he can't chew it). He likes to park himself in front of it sometimes and just stretch out.

So...a bit more about Spike. He loves TV (especially sci fi or singing shows). I think he is very disappointed Lost is off the air. He used to just park himself in front of the tv when it was on. I should have named him Simon Cowell, because he loves watching American Idol and he loves singing - but only when it is good. The bad ones he thumps at. :X I think he should be the next new judge on the show. He has a pretty good ear, lol!

I'm a singer myself and I take it as a great compliment that Spike loves to come and sit with me when I practice. He is my biggest fan. :biggrin:
