Ok, I still haven't got the pictures yet..... Don't hurt me! :hiding:
But I just wanted to add that we weighed Dotty last night.... She's now 16.2lbs! :shock: I wonder if my scales are out.... That would mean she's put on 3.5lbs in a month?!! :shock:

Ok, so here are some long-awaited pictures!! This chapter I shall call...
[align=center]DOTTY'S GARDEN ADVENTURE!
:bunnydance::bunnydance::bunnydance:
It was a fairly nice day, and not freezing like it has been recently. The grass was wet, but not soaking. The sun was out. So we decided Dotty would experience her first run in the garden! The pen isn't nearly as big now as it was, because we had to use half of it to create the barried round the other pair's cage to stop them fighting through it :? We're getting some more grids soon though so it should be bigger.
Ok, there are a LOT of pics, so be warned!
Here's the pen:
As you can see, she's very good at doing the same pose lol!
Ello! What's this then?
Close up!
Even outside, she still runs to mummy for noserubs!
Doing some periscoping- you can't really see it here but she's at least the height of 1.5 NIC grids when she does that!
Her first ever taste of grass- she LOVED IT!
Look at her markings :hearts:
Nom nom nom
More nomming:
Even more nomming!
Mummy!
Nosey
There's more to come..... in a minute!

[align=center]More pics!!!
Nosey rubs:
HEY! Where'd my noserubs go?!
And because she was such a good girl outside, she got some dried pineapple as a treat, which she went CRAZY for...
Little moufs!:inlove:
Give it!
I said GIVE IT!
Back to periscoping- you can see her height here against the grids, and she wasn't even stood up straight!
Looking very regal
Having a little run!
Enjoy guys!

Beautiful pictures as always. She is one Stunning Rabbit. Good thing we have an ocean between us or I'd Bunny Nap her.
How did this beauty end up at a shelter and how long was she there for? I'm surprised no one else adopted her. Maybe because she is a larger bunny.
Look forward to MANY more pictures of Dotty.

Dotty wasn't at a shelter- Our local pet store has a section for adoption bunnies, pigs, rats etc - usually where the owners can't look after them any more and return them- sometimes at 2 years old, sometimes as babies, etc.:X They have a special section in the store for them- and a portion of the adoption fee goes to a local animal rescue. Dotty was in there, having been moved up from another store- I think that she had either been purchased and then returned shortly after, or she was never purchased because nobody wanted her, and had lived the whole of her first 7 months in a pet shop Kids banging on the window, etc
The stores have so many animals returned and because they try not to turn them down- that particular store anyway- they have bunnies and piggies out the back in cages- the manager showed us them the other week. Where they feel it's an appropriate home for the animal they will always promote adoption. The chain as a whole gets a bad rep for not caring but our local store will always say no to someone who doesn't seem like they will be a responsible owner- I've been there when the manager has politely told them 'no- you aren't rabbit people' and they sell more of the larger hutches and smaller, and more of the larger hutches than any other store in the region.
Aaaanyway lol....
I'm honestly amazed she's as social as she is! She's not even spayed yet either- she will be in the next couple of weeks. But for an unspayed 'teenage' female- she is SO cuddly, licky and affectionate! I just have to sit on the floor and she comes bounding over, for noserubs, and ready to give out a milion kisses :hearts:
We're trying to get the morning 'enthusiasm' under control lol- currently every morning at 8am ish she jumps up on top of my head and just generally tramples us for cuddles and noserubs. She'll lick my face then shove her nose under my chin, or she'll sit on the side of my pillow and lie down on it! We think she's just like having a puppy in the fact that she just needs to be near people lol- wherever you are, whatever you're doing, she has to be there. I was cleaning the bathroom yesterday and she was sat right behind me, throwing the empty shampoo bottles around!

I hadn't seen Dotty's blog before; she's a beautiful girl and she seems to have quite the personality!
You take great pictures too!

Well, it just so happens that I have uploaded some pictures that I took this afternoon!
But first, I'm going to get her Infirmary thread and post it here, and a couple of others, because a lot has gone on with our Dotters that I haven't posted here, and I don't want to lose the threads!
One moment..... *runs off*

Ok.....
Please think of Dotty - Pre and post-spay updates
Dotty not looking so good/ Dotty looking better - Dotty's Infirmary thread from when she went into near stasis a few days after her spay
Attack of the killer bunny! Licked to death! - Dotty being particularly over-enthusiastic with the cuddles!
And I will be back shortly with the pictures

Right! Pictures are here!
We got a new bed delivered last week- we had a divan before and now we have a lovely oak frame. Well, Dotty loves it. So much so, that I barely see her anymore :cry1:She sleeps under there during the day, and during the night too. I went 4 days without any kisses :cry1::cry1::cry1::cry1:
Anyway, so when I went up with the camera earlier I took a bit of carrot up with me to tempt her out of the 'cave' and it worked lol! But then she stole the end and ran back under, as you will see
Here are the pictures! There are quite a few
I love this one.... 'And I'd just like to thank.....'
Jumping on my leg:
'what do you mean it's all gone?'
'Now I've got the last of it......BYE!'
In her 'cave'
Woah! Loads of pics! There you go!

Aww! I love Dotty!
My Emma does the same thing with the hiding-under-the-bed. She's there about 90% of the day.

Isn't it annoying? I want to block it off sort of, but then Steve thought it would be mean since she obviously loves it so much under there. She's not jumping on the bed anymore though. I miss my early morning wake-ups with a big ball o'bunny jumping on me and demanding noserubs! :cry1::cry1::cry1:
I also wonder if it's not the new bedding that she doesn't like. We used to have a synthetic duvet- hollowfibre filling. Now we have a real feather duvet, that we got when the new bed arrived. This is exactly the time she stopped jumping up for cuddles. I wonder if the crinkly sound of the feather duvet is putting her off? :expressionless
Thank you!

It is possible. Won't the duvet's crinkliness go away after awhile? Like wer down and be softer? Eventually, we are going to block off part of the underside of our bed and just let them play under 1/3 of it or so. They still have an area to play, but not as big as before.
