Today's post is dedicated to Merlin's feet, because I'm the kind of mum who does embarrassing stuff like that.
When I started looking for a new friend for Merlin, I noticed something "off" about the other bunnies - all their back feet were so slim and long! Like, how do they balance on those baby snakes they call feet?
After seeing enough bunnies with huge long thumpers, I arrived at the conclusion that it was my Merlin who was the one with unusual feet. His feet are short and fat, getting broader at the toes like human feet. I am super obsessed with them.
In fact, his adorable feetsies were what made me set my heart on him in the first place. We went to see an unwanted litter that was going to be sold to a petshop the next day. The babies were all curled up in a big group huddle, asleep. "Get a healthy one," hubs had said. "Don't fall in love with the smallest. They're weak." Merlin was the little grey runt. I wanted not to get him.
But amidst the neat huddle of bunloaves, the little grey runt had one tiny back foot sticking out behind him, short and broad like a human baby's. That was it. I was getting him.
But I couldn't leave all the others to sit sadly in a petshop just because they hadn't thought to leave one foot out! Of course I had to get a second bunny. I picked out a sad looking white and grey fluffball, who would become my big sweetie Rosebun. We had a year of love and happiness that I wouldn't trade for anything.
Anyway.
They are the cutest little fuzzles. They are my everything. I would probably chew on them if he'd let me.
:inlove:
