New Members of the Family



We got two new bunnies!!! Are we crazy? Yes! My kids have been begging for a pet for a while now and always for a cat or a dog. Then a couple of weeks ago Logan changed his mind and started asking for a rabbit. Scott thought this was a great idea and now we have two French Lop rabbits. They are so cute. They are the size of a small adult cat and are still babies. They will be around 12 lbs. when fully grown. We figured the bigger they are the less likely that kids will hurt them and that the rabbits would be able to squeeze under the fence.



Logan named this guy Copper. Both of his ears flop to the same side and he is so mellow. He follows Logan around and lets him carry him all over the place.



Aubrey named this one Raccoon (silly girl). He is a little more spry but still super sweet. He is very fast and lets the kids chase him. He like to lay on his back and get his belly rubber like a dog.
