I haven’t written much about my rabbits, if at all, so I figured it would be a good subject for today. I always get the jokes about having rabbits. Anywhere from, ‘where do you live on a farm?’ or ‘how about we make rabbit stew’ (the worst!) or just the general shock, ‘you have pet what??’ Sometimes its comical, but really I mostly just get annoyed. I love my rabbits dearly and wouldn’t give them up for anything! It’s just like having cats, only they are more exotic, even better than cats! haha. Well the Reason for having rabbits is that in my apartment I had I couldn’t have pets. I really wanted a cat but cats get up in the windows and they can been seen, and the apt ppl were the worst! They were so mean and strict, they kind of had to be, they had to deal with college kids and I guess it gets old real quick so you have to be tough. I’m actually glad I didn’t get a cat because I dont really like cats anymore… haha. but anyway, I saw an ad in the paper for a free rabbit. So I made my bf (now husband) call about it. Well the thing was that they had already given it away by the time we called. Well this new pet store Just opened up so I convinced him to check it out. We get there and they had only one little bunny left and she was all alone in the cage. I held her and she just clung to me. They said that she must really like me, she usually doesn’t sit still when you try to hold her. I was sold! so we brought her home. It was actually sweetest day Oct 19th 2002 so shes about 5 1/2 yrs old right now. We named her Bugsy (we actually thought she was a boy because thats what the petstore told us!!) But Bugsy is not for Bugs Bunny, it is after the gangster Bugsy, apparently, thats what my bf says anyway. haha. Then I thought Bugsyneeded a friend. Every time I went to the pet store I’d pass by the bunnies, and there was this red one that was sooo cute. I finally convince my bf to let me get another one. When we go of course the red ones are gone! But there are cute little white and gray ones. long story short, we got another one, thinking it was a girl! I wanted another boy I said because I didn’t want baby bunnies, but this one really liked me. Turns out he was a boy anyway but still didn’t work out because then we found out our other boy was a girl…. yeah good thing you don’t dress bunnies in separate boy and girl clothes like kids or we would have been in a world of trouble there! ha! So when we still think the boy is a girl we named him Snowball… yeah kind of girly I know… sorry snowball… but its better than Trixy like i was originally planning… like the rabbit on the TRIX cereal box! and its the girl in problem child 2… or 3 i forget now. Well we got Snowball less than 4 months later, Feb 4th, 2003. They didn’t like each other at all at first and I felt bad for both of them. But now they are bonded friends. And there you go, thats how I got my two bunnies.
Oh and I had them both fixed so there are no baby bunnies! 
Snowball isn’t Bugsy’s type anyway, she doesn’t like him like that apparently. Maybe she thinks he’s too girly because of his name, or maybe she thinks shes too macho for him. Or hes just some little young dutch and shes a cool older more sophisticated black dwarf… I hope she’s not racist, I didn’t raise her like that, thats for sure…
