I've been posting for a few weeks now but I just realized I never formally introduced my bun! Excuse me if I get too detailed, I am always so overly excited to talk about him
This is Dr. Cheese! (Informally known as Cheese or Cheesy ) The cutest red-eyed Californian around. (He came with the name and I loved it too much to change it)
I lost my first bun Pipkin last summer and decided I was finally ready to get a new friend in my life. I adopted Cheese from a shelter in Chicago called One Tail at a Time (I definitely recommend them if you are in the area! They take such good care of their animals). I found him via Petfinder and instantly fell in love. He was brought to the shelter in poor coat condition they assumed from living in an outdoor environment. He went through FOUR foster homes!
He is turning one sometime this July, and was 6lbs 12oz at his first vet checkup with me. The shelter described him as a "border collie bunny" because he is always excited to meet new people, runs up to his gate, and tries to climb up to greet you. He also loves cats and dogs that are nice in return and has SO much energy! I let him out of his playpen and he will binky all around the room jumping off and on my bed, and once he tires himself out he lays either at the foot of my bed or right next to me He is a big fan of head and cheek rubs, and I am still in the process of getting him more comfortable with handling. I've slowly been introducing new steps and so far I am able to scoop under his belly/arms and lift up as long as he still has his feet on the ground. Slowly but surely we will get there!
