Well today was the day my daughter has been looking forward to for a long time. We were suppose to get our new bunny, today. I got all the stuff we needed for a great set up, and headed out for the hour long trip to the shelter the bunny was at.
When I got there, he was sweeter than I imagined. A great laid back bunny, for the most part. I was petting on him and about 30 seconds into it, my hands felt like they were on FIRE. So I went to wash them. Came back, and tried again. Same result. My hands were burning and had welts. I was so disappointed. There was one point in it where he got nervous and darted to the corner of his cage and started to dart at me until I jerked my hand out real fast....then he laid down on his side and allowed me to pet on him again.
I thought he was a really neat rabbit. Most of the redness is now gone, I had one welt blister up.
About a month ago, I took Naomi to a rabbit show. I wanted to see how interested she seemed, and to make sure she was not allergic (since she has asthma and is allergic to cats). She did not have a rabbit allergy come up on her allergy test, but I wanted to make sure. She did fine there. I did notice that I got a little sneezy and congested, but I figured that it was because there was 3,000 rabbits there, and that was the reason why. Three thousand of any animal could irritate most people, I think.... So I dismissed it.
I felt horrible when I had to tell my daughter that we could not adopt the rabbit. It broke my heart to see her so heart broken.

You did so much research and you and your daughter really deserved to have that bunny!
