Our New Bunnies - Honey and Dotty

After Olaf and Sven died, we told Lexi that we'd get bunnies again 

after we got our backyard finished and fenced.

We also told her that she could get baby bunnies this time.

Since her bunnies died she's been sad and there have been several times when 

she'd just start bawling and then tell me that she misses her bunnies.

It's been hard to see her so unhappy.

...

We've been watching tons of YouTube videos of bunnies.

And we have been looking at the classifieds to see what bunnies are for sale locally.

Right before Easter, a ton of baby bunnies were for sale.

We found some lionheads that Lexi got really excited about.

Sean said we could get them.

Our yard wasn't fenced in yet but we bought a six foot tall professional dog kennel.

So we think our bunnies will be safe.

...

So Lexi knew we were getting the bunnies but we told her that we would be getting them until Easter.

Well the week before Easter Sean had a three day weekend.

That Friday he had off. He told Lexi that he'd be setting up the new bunny pen.

She was excited to come home from school and help decorate it.

When she got home she was surprised to see the bunnies.

Sean and Eli had picked them up and brought them home that day.

Lexi's eyes got all watery when she saw the bunnies.

She was over the moon excited!

It was like Christmas at our house that day. Maybe even better.
...
Here's the video of Lexi seeing the bunnies for the first time.

For about the first two weeks we had them they slept inside their cage in our laundry room.

For the first week, we'd bring them outside during the day.

But the second week, we got lots of rain and some snow, so the bunnies stayed inside all day.

...

In this next picture, Lexi is on the phone telling my parents that she got her bunnies.

The bunnies first night at home, Lexi read them a bedtime story.

Here's our neighbor Trenna holding both bunnies.

The bunnies were born on February 8th. And we're just a few days shy of 6 weeks when we got them.

They are sisters.

Their dad was a double mane lionhead and their mom was a single mane and a quarter dwarf.

One bunny has a white dot on her nose. Avery named her Dotty.

Lexi named the other Honey.

Honey is slightly darker, a little bit bigger and has a bigger mane.

Honey is a little more shy.

Dotty is a little more friendly, curious and energetic.

I love Honey standing up in this next picture.

Avery warmed up to the bunnies very quickly.

Here's a picture of her holding Dotty. You can see the dot on her nose.

I couldn't believe that Dotty fell asleep in Avery's lap like this!

Lexi put a flower in Honey's mane.


I actually have a lot more pictures of the bunnies. But this seems like enough for now.
