The Story of Bunny Rabbit

My husband and I, have a rabbit that we call "Bunny" and have decided to let run loose in our fenced 1.5 acres. We both felt like if something was going to happen, at least she would have felt the soothing green grass under her feet once instead of a cage. Bunny's home used to be right under a window where I could open it, call out "Bunny" and throw her a carrot or celery. Bunny became quick to know hearing the sound of the window opening soon meant a tasty treat was coming her way. So when her home went from a 3x4 pen to 1.5 acres, my husband and I tried to keep some things familiar to her by opening the window and still tossing her a treat. This lasted until she found where those few oats had gotten away from the goat and other little hidden treasures.

One day I get a call from a friend that volunteers at the Galveston Island Humane Society (www.galvestonhumane.org) telling me what a cute little white bunny was there at the shelter. My friend did a good enough job convincing me that I needed this bunny. So after work, box in hand, I go check out this bunny that I knew would soon call 1.5 acres home. My husband tells me that we should put the new bunny "Rabbit" in the pen until our Great Dane gets used to the new face. I agreed and we set Rabbit up in her penthouse. Nadean, the diva socialite of a goat she is, would have nothing to do with this arrangement and decided that Rabbit must be out with Bunny and the rest of the crew. If my husband and I hadn't seen it through the window, I don't think either one of us would have believed - seeing Nadean work the latch of the pen and pulling a total prison break for Rabbit.

As we stood there in disbelief, we watched to see what would happen next. Nadean being so proud of herself - left the scene of the crime. Our Great Dane, Sully could have cared less and from the far distance comes running Bunny. We're happy to say Bunny and Rabbit are the best of bunnyrabbit friends they could be.
