No worries... Bella, Luca, and Jakey will fit right in! We will be more than happy to make all the room they need for fun and relaxation along with all the squishies they can handle...:D:pPromise!!!!

myheart
 
Thanks Aly. It was very difficult for me to share Patrick with Luna when she first arrived. He only had eyes for her...:(. But a week or so later, he remembered me and started wanting his pets from me again. I think our bond, all three of us, is getting stronger. I think about trying to add a third Dutch into the equation, but I am not sure because Patrick is six years old. It might be too much for him to handle--trying to keep a harem in order....:p

myheart
 
Oh goodness! They are so gorgeous! I love the pictures you take of them!

Luna seems so happy! I just can't believe how well she and Patrick took to each other!

Seeing her always makes me smile! (eventhough I wanted her for myself LOL!)
 
Bo B, believe it or not, but I had to pull up thethread Naturestee started for Luna while she was her foster-girl. I guess I have to say that I was lucky your husband wouldn't let you have her, "...in the house, shed, yard, or garage." LOL;)

It hasn't even been a full year with her, and she seems like she has been here forever. Luna still drinks her water as noisily as a cat, make little grunty noises, and loves nose rubs. The other day I was holding her when we were outside and she became relaxed enough to make a different sort of grunty/oinky noise. This was a happy, contented grunt/oink with every exhalation. I had never heard this sound before, and was pleased when I realised what the sound was about. :DLuna is starting to accept comfort and safety from me...probably a bigissue in her world, as we know nothing about her former home-life before living with Naturestee.

I can't believe how young Luna looked in some of the pictures Naturestee took. I think her blue is starting to turn gray...:?Or maybe she is shedding... Anyhow, Patrick says he will keep her for a while longer.:pSo what ever Patrick wants, Patrick gets.

I couldn't wait to post this...But I saw Luna do a binky last night. Every one else in the house was asleep except for the bunners and myself, we were watching a movie. Patrick was in an amorous mood and was busy chasing Luna around, she needs the exercise anyhow. She must have been frustrated with the chase because she threw a binky out there to baffle him. It was one of those straight-up-in-the-air kind of binkies, but it worked long enough to get her a few hops ahead of Patrick. He kind had the expression on his face that said, "Where did the object of my affection go?" Poor little guy was just so full of "hugs" for her. Poor little girl...Sometimes enough hugs becomes enough hugs....:D

myheart
 
Aww- sounds like Luna is a woman who likes to be chased :)Its so cute when the ones who dont binky ever do it. Its a reminder to you how happy she isto be with you and Patrick;)
 
Thank you Haley. I think it has taken her a bit to get used to the house and the other critters. She does seem to do better when the dog and cats are not around--still leery of them. But I think going outside has really helped her to become more brave about the things that seem to scare her. I don't know what we are going to do when the snow starts to fly. Until then, there will be some nice nibbly leaves falling soon enough.:D

Today would have beenBenjamin's seventh Gotchya-Day (September 21st). He was Maggie's hus-bun and he loved her to no end. He took such good care of her, that I believe they were a match made in Heaven just as Patch and Luna are.

I drove up to the Bay Area Humane in Green Bay looking for a hus-bun for Maggie. Benjamin was the only rabbit there at the time. I never saw him as a "black bunny," but only thought he was too small for Maggie. Little did I know how big and beautiful Benji would become. After paying his five dollar shelter donation, he came home with me to begin his life with my Maggie.

My most fondest memory of him was the way he would run out to greet Maggie every morning. He would get out of his cage before Maggie because he was younger. Eventually Maggie would make her way into the living room where Benjamin would jump out of nowhere and start grooming her as if to say, "Good Morning, Maggie!!! I missed you so much!!!!"

Anyhow, I want to post a few pics of him because he is so missed and loved that my heart still aches for him.

Rest in Peace sweetie-boy. You were a very special boy in so many ways. With your passing, Luna, Naturestee, TreasuredFriend, and even Katie have all enriched our lives. Without knowing it, your passing helped Patrick to live.

Thank you Benjamin for being a specialpart of our lives,

mom
 
Thank you BabyBunnies and TreasuredFriends. I know I should have posted something about Benjamin on the Bridge topic, but this will be the only time I will bring up Benji's Gotchya Day. I also need to remember that his passing is actually a celebration of his joining Maggie at the Bridge, and of Patrick's new life and love. Benjamin was a blessing for Maggie, just as Luna has become a blessing for Patrick.

It's wonderful how your bunnies have all been such good friends to each other. And it's amazing how a $5 bunny can change your life. Hugs and well-wishes to you and your bunnies, present and past. :rainbow::bunnydance:

I left him out of his box this morning and nothing... No happy circles around me to say good morning, no humming, no nothing. I've lost my little boy! Soon enough they will want to get married, move out, get a condo somewhere warm, adopt babies, and forget all about me!!! What am I going to do?
I feel that way about Toby sometimes. I think he wants a friend, but I never know... :(

No, you don't know what they want. That is what makes it frustrating having rabbits as pets. Dogs and cats are easy to read, but rabbits are a whole other ballgame. I only knew that I needed to get Patrick a bond-mate because he had already experienced the grooming and socializing aspect of being with another bunny. If he hadn't had the experience, I don't think I would have tried to bond him. He seemed happy being my little guy.

I guess that is were you have to believe you are the expert on your own rabbit, because he will be the only one to give you an indication as to what he wants. If he wants to be your little guy, let him. But bonded rabbits just have the certain awe-factor to them. Don't know what to say, other than that you should really take the time to listen to him. :D

I took Patch, Luna, (and Sunny) out for a little while today. I only managed to get a couple of pictures as Patrick was feeling exceptionally amorous with Luna and he became a bit rough with pulling on her hair with his teeth. I don't know what gets into that guy when he goes outside...:?Someday, someone, preferably a guy, will have to tell me what in the world the fresh air does to spur these moments of romance.

Anyhow, I did manage to get a pic of Patrick and Luna together. It was taken before Patrick became such a love-monkey.

I also took a picture of Patrick alone because I ended up holding Luna more than I anticipated to keep her away from Patrick's little clutches.

I guess I need to be thankful Patrick enjoys the outside as much as he does. :biggrin2:

I think they know when you need them.
