this little girl loves bunnies
this one does too
we recently started attending a 4-H bunny club with our friends and it is about the cutest thing ever. a gathering of little girls once a month all with their bunny rabbits - they weigh them in, they discuss care and grooming, different bunny breeds etc etc. did you know that a boy bunny is a buck, and a girl bunny is a doe? yeah, i didn't!
this week's meeting was held at the leaders home so we could visit her rabbitry and the sweet little month old baby bunnies! is there anything cuter?!!
bless!
and what of poor old munsy while her owner clucked over these little ones? well, she sat with 'grandma' (yes, apparently i am grandmother to a rabbit - and i thought turning 30 felt old) in her little travel basket quietly watching the action...probably happy those little squeezy hands were not on her for a change!
"yes, apparently i am grandmother to a rabbit " <-- that made me laugh!! Such a cute idea though, bunnies (and little girls) are adorable!

Ohhh, little bunnies are sooo cute! When my children were little we also had one, he was just like a doggy, always running through the house and lying next to us on the couch. We were all so sad when he died..

This is so cute.
We have recently relocated from Adelaide to Michigan and people over here seem to think it is strange that we are considering adopting a rabbit.
I have so many fond memories of having a bunny as a kid and it seems like you are making lots of your own.

I like the little bunny harness. and your girls are too cute with those bunnies! I love that they have a club.

Those bunnies are so cute. We would have one or two but our dog thinks he should chase them. :( I like the idea of a bunny club and it sounds like it helps them keep up with caring for them properly. :)

totally adorable
I wish it was legal to have a bunny here but alas it is not. I guess no one would really know if I got one though - mmmmmm will have to work on my dear law abiding husband LOL

does she stay in that basket?! Our Aafje would jump out and go exploring, I really need to hold her leash all the time when we're outside or use a closed basket.
:-) we also joke about my parents being our pets grandparents, so you're not the only one who's grandmother to a bunny!
Will the bunny move with you to Australia?
Posted by: Thinkie | May 23, 2009 at 04:33 AM
Yep, you got that one wrong there Em! You tell the kids that the pets are their brother or sisters and then you are still only a mum...
This is so cute. I love how rabbits smell. When we last lived in Aus our neighbours over the back had bunnys who accidently had baby bunnies and I remember holding those little balls of fluff. They were like little powder puffs and sooo sweet.
However my brother and I had rabbits when we were little and my hands are still covered in the scars from being bitten and scratched. So much so that I've always been too scared to get a rabbit pet with my own kids. Glad yours is very well behaved.

awwww...
so cute...
my nine year old boy
would love that...
he desperately wants a rabbit
or a gerbil or a guinea pig...
sadly, his mean parents
are not animal people
so he has to content himself with
a mangy dog...
:O)

how cool that your kids have access to 4-H programs! We did lots of 4-H clubs and projects (cooking, sewing, sheep, pigs, horses, animal science, photography) all were really cool except sewing was not something I was into, and now wish I'd paid more attention too!

How wonderful this is and the photos are adorable. Munsy looks so spiffy in her harness and leash!
