For some of you who know me, you know I don't have any animals personally, my sisters and brother have animals but I don't. And those of you don't know me in person know that know! ;) It's not that I hated them, just that I don't have any. I've been wanting a rabbit deep, deep and deeper still down but I never got one. But I'm now "in love with a wonderful rabbit"!!!
At the petting zoo this week-end I was on my shift w/ some other kids in the club and I was told to just hold a rabbit and advertise it a lil' 'cause he needed to find a home. I stood there wondering how to do it and then Paige got him out and handed him to me and showed me how to hold him {I have basically NO knowledge of rabbits. I did read a whole book on raising rabbits recently} And I held him, he was a beautiful grey splotched on white rabbit and so soft! I held him and stroked him for about 20 minutes. And that's when I fell in love. :D
He was a full size Rex {6 wks old} for sale at $15 and I could used my allowance to purchase him. I asked mommy after thinking about it all afternoon and she said yes! I was so excited. And we had room for him at home 'cause N has like 5 cages. With trembling hands I paid and signed name in the purchase notebook. I showed Paige the "SOLD" tag on the cage and she asked who bought it and I said me and we both got excited.
That was on Friday and today {Sunday} was the last day of the tractor show and I got to take him home! He is such a sweetie and I love him so much! Right now he's in his cage in the barn all safe and sound. I can't wait to work w/ him and take him to the fair and hopefully win! I'm sorry this post is really rather long but I'm so excited! :) Here are some pictures of him!
Oh! I have another naming dilemma.... again. But this time I have two names and I'll post a poll and you guys can vote for your fave!
