She's Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[momofmany]

Well, she is here! I am still in shock, lol. I just can't believe how everything worked out so quickly and fell into place! Praise God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Despite the bad weather and tons of snow we got over the past 2 days, I was still able to make the drive to meet the gal from the shelter and we adopted Joya!

This lady was awesome! She had Joya all set up in a small travel cage with bedding, food, hay, etc. and covered with a warm blanket. I had printed off the application and contract via their website, had it all filled out, etc. and we exchanged the paperwork, I paid the adoption fee, she gave me a GREAT, informative Rabbit Care Handbook and some pellets to mix with our pellets (pellets Joya is used to eating), and her husband put the cage with Joya inside into our van and we were on our way home. It was minimal stress for Joya!

Vinny is THRILLED to say the least to have met Joya and Joya seems to have warmed right up to Vinny (thank God!). She doesn't seem to mind grooming Vinny as much as he wants her too, lol.

She is awesome! I mean AWESOME! I cannot get over how CALM this girl is! Despite my baby/toddler crying, the dogs barking, etc., she has yet to show an ounce of nervousness. Just the first time the dogs barked, she hopped over to me and I picked her up to reassure her and she was fine. I am so grateful and shocked to see how friendly she is. I mean she does not mind being pet or picked up (not that we are going to pick her up & carry her around all the time), but you know what I mean.

I like the name Joya very much, but I also like the name Mia, so I'm not sure what'll I do yet, but so far I'm calling her Joya, lol.

So, enough talk, here are pics of Joya (isn't she BEAUTIFUL?):

AND of Vinny & Joya:

Oh she is so pretty! I am glad she is such a sweet heart too! Congrats!

 

[SnowyShiloh]

Awww, what a lovely girl! Vinny is adorable too and they look so sweet together. I'm really glad everything has worked out so well! It doesn't sound like it could have gone any better. I think Joya is a pretty name and quite appropriate, but Mia is great too! Whichever you pick will be perfect! I can't wait to see more pictures of these two bunners.

 

[maherwoman]

[momofmany]

Thanks everyone! Oh my goodness, I just CANNOT tell you how wonderful this lil girl is!!!!!!!!!!:inlove::inlove::inlove:

She is so, so, GREAT! She is so SOCIAL! Which is a big change from Poodle & Prince who seem so scared of everything and everyone still.

We don't have a large house, it is a cape and 2 of our bedrooms are on the first floor with the kitchen, living room and bathroom. Joya keeps going from the living room to the bedroom, back to the living room and so on. She has done some binkies too!

It is so fantastic to have such a social bun!:biggrin2:

She keeps coming back out to the living room where we are and plopping down in the middle of the floor, lol. It is so wonderful!!!

Now, she is more than willing to keep grooming Vinny, but Vinny doesn't seem to know how to (or want to?) reciprocate to groom her. Is it a guy thing? I wonder if he'll eventually groom her? He is LOVING her grooming him though.

I think I am going to keep her name as "Joya" because as SnowyShiloh mentioned, it is very appropriate as she is bringing joy to ALL of us--Vinny and us!

Oh, here is another pic of Vinny & Joya laying together.

 

[Infiniti]

She's absolutely beautiful, and I'm so glad that she's settled right in! It sounds like a match made in rabbit heaven.

 

[maherwoman]

Aww...Momofmany...they're so adorable together...

And I agree about her name...she's already brought you so much joy!

 

[Thumpers_Mom]

How awesome. I am glad to hear how great things went. She and Vinny make such a cute pair. How wonderful that they got along after just meeting...love at first sight huh?

Congrats!!! :biggrin2:

 

[MsBinky]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! I LOVE when they bond like that. Wiggles wouldn't groom Bam-Bam at first but eventually he had loved on her enough that she returned the favor. Hihi, so yeah I am pretty sure you will catch your boy loving on Joya soon. What a gorgeous pair :biggrin2::inlove:

 

[tonyshuman]
