EEEEEEE! That's so exciting! Pemby will love having a companion! I can't wait to see pictures. You probably said, but I have a really lousy memory: what type of bunny is she?

So excited for both of you!

Good luck with the application. Bunnies are like potato chips, IMHO, you can't just have one. lol.

Well we have to e-mail the person and my Dad is helping me out with that so it's only when the time works out for the best of us.
Plus it takes over 72 hours for them toreview the application and I'm hoping that when we get her it will be next weekend which would fall under my spring break.. We did that with Pembrooke, wait until I had the most time to spend with the new rabbit as possible but without waiting too long. Trust me its killing me as well.

Smart move waiting until you have the most time. Nice that your Dad is helping you through this process. Thanks for explaining me about the process. I didn't have to go through all that when I rescued Willard. And it's been 12 years when we adopted Jake our dog.

Well I guess now that animals that have been rescued keep getting sent back, they have to make the screening process a lot more crucial. Also I'm Canadian you're American so things could be different between us.

Not really. With Willard we rescued him from a Exotic Pet Store so all we did was pay $20 and we were out the door. But with Jake we did go through lots of screening. We actually had to get our Vet to write a recommendation about us being successful with aggressive breeds. Jake was being prepared to be a drug dog. The creeps already cut his neck to make him mean, plus filed down his canines so that they could put what they call "fighting" teeth. At 3 months, Jake was very aggressive and was marked to be destroyed. My husband fought to stop that and we did go through the process. Background check and the help of our Vet, Dr. Chase (now retired), we got Jake, who has become the most sweetest dog and know we are fully protected.
Example of his thankfulness:
We only had him a couple months. We had idiots who would allow their full grown Rotties to run wild. My son (4 years old at the time) was in our yard when these dogs approached. My heart was in mouth until I saw Jake gently push my son away from the fence and start charging to make those Rotties go. From then on I knew we did the right thing by saving this sweetie. Now at 12 years old, he is as protective of our rabbits as he was our Son. I know he would give his life to make sure I was fully protected.

Me too. And I have to say Jake even grieved when we lost Henry. When Henry was in the hospital, Jake would lay on Henry's bed. I didn't have the heart to tell him to get down. We could go visit Henry but Jake couldn't.
Jake knew the day Henry passed. When we made that last ride from the Hospital and got home, Jake knew. It took him a bit, like us, to understand that Henry wasn't coming home. I've never seen a dog mourn before, until Jake.
So I'm really happy that now Jake can focus that love on our bunnies.
I have to say rescued animals KNOW and TRULY appreciate being saved from terrible situations.

Thanks Jj. Truly appreciate your heartfelt message. And yes, I truly think he did. He knew I needed something to make me smile again that reminded me of him. Right now there are tears still because I wish he could experience our bunnies as well, but the smile is there too because they do remind me of him every day.

I've noticed almost no poems on here... PEMBROOKE! Come hither!
(Aw shucks, thought I could get away wit tat..)
Dandelion
Her name is dandelion
I haven't a clue why
She is the colour of a blue grey dove
Just learning to fly
Her fur is a soft
As a cottonball
(But of course mine tops all)
She's a bit bigger than me
Much more active you see
I do hope we get along
Dandelion is her name
Don't ask me, it seems not sane
I think a Pembrooke is a howdy do
Well Dandelion is a toodly too
I want her to be my friend
To the very end
With fur like dappled water
Pemby and Jj (in spirit Dandelion)

Ok thanks!
Well some better news today! We got the application! Of course it's five pages long but... Now to go over it with my Dad and fill in the appropiate answers.
Now I need some help from you guys, is 6-10 hours with your rabbit enough every day? Because all in all that's what I normally spend with Pembrooke..

You have no issues here. Dandelion couldn't be put in better hands. You all proved yourself with Pembrooke.
I know applications are a pain. 1 page or 5 pages. But hey, like you said, it has to be that way. I wish breeders would put this much time and effort into finding out who their bunnies are going to. I was questioned thoroughly before taking Neville. I had several interviews via e-mail and phone now that I look back.
Wishing you and Dad luck getting this application done and hoping Dandelion is with you and Pembrooke soon. Real soon.
Can I send an e-mail to let them to know that you are a perfect pet parent? Let me know. I'm sure there are many here that would do the same.
