oh how cute! Looks like she/he was having a good hair day.LOL.
I used to pay good money to have my hair look like that ^_^ What a precious baby!!
Adorable. What a precious face.
and so it would seem...^_^
I can't get over how cute he is. I noticed your quilts in the photo. Do you quilt, phoebe?
Oh my goodness ... "Columbus" is a cutie, coming and going! Is he a particular breed?
Oh, I'm curious about your quilts too! I don't quilt but sure admire folks with that talent and I love quilts!
omigosh...is that (ahem) 'furreal'?! LOL!!
Did you style the 'do' for the photo, or is that his natural 'do'?
What a fluffball!
(I know...I'm slow....I just noticed this today!)
Isn't he the cutest bunny you ever saw? I adore the way that fur sticks up! It really gives him "character."
I've never had a pet rabbit and think it would be so much fun! Years ago when one of my niece's was about 6 (she's now 29), we were at a county fair and my DH and her Dad went off to take her on the rides while her Mom and I checked out the craft area. An hour or so later I hear this little voice yelling "Aunt Linda, Aunt Linda, Look what Uncle Pete won for me!" She was really excited and we thought he probably won her a stuffed animal or perhaps a goldfish or some such ... well, here she comes with a little teeny live rabbit in her arms, a cute little baby rabbit with one floppy ear! She named him "Floppy" (for the one ear that never did stand up) and he lived in the house for awhile with the family, and the dog and cat. Her dad finally built a huge rabbit hutch and put it on the back porch. For a few years they let him have the run of their large backyard that has a lot of huge live oak trees. He loved hopping all over and snooping around the yard! Then one year there was an owl in one of the trees, eyeing Floppy. Luckily her dad saw the owl and went looking for the rabbit before he became dinner for the owl! They didn't let Floppy run loose after that. I don't know what the life span is for rabbits but Floppy lived for, I think @ twelve years.
He is just so precious! Do you have any other pets?
Hmmm-blurry pic--think he was moving in that one. Love the floppy story! Rabbits make great pets--they are affectionate and have tons of personality! I also belong to a rabbit forum now.

I think many pet rabbits live 15 years now...the average used to be 5 years.
Just my 75 Gal African cichlid tank-I had a shih tzu named Phoebe, but she died unexpectedly in July 2007. It broke my heart--she was 12 years old. Everyone says I need another, but haven't been able to bring myself to do that yet. I know I will though when I am ready.
Well, Columbus is just adorable! One of the cutest bunnie's I've ever seen! I know you must have been heartbroken to lose your dear Phoebe. It is so hard when a member of the family passes, whether human or pet. One area of our backyard is our pet cemetery. We have so many buried out there, three dogs and at least five cats and a bird. Our family now consists of my DH and I and three cats and a 150 gal salt water aquarium. I hope to adopt a dog again some day but it will have to be after a couple more of the old kitties go to heaven.
He's just so darned *fluffy*, LOL!!....almost makes me want one!
Oh, that's a nice Cichlid tank! We had fresh water tanks years ago but never raised Cichlids although they are the most colorful of the fresh water fish. My DH got into the marine fish years ago and for the past ten or twelve years he's had a 150 gal. tank. I wish he would downsize cause it takes up an entire wall in our living room.
OMG-Beautiful! I don't have the patience or perserverence for salt water. I love the corals.
The Rabbit is very cute..and very content looking too.! I had a Marine fish tank many years ago..the fish are amazing colors. I had what I seem to remember being a 'Tomato Clown Fish'....larger than the usual orange and white 'Nemo' clown fish, red/Orange and black with a white stripe..he became very tame and was very inquisitive of you when you went to the tank

He is a happy bunny--does a happy dance all the time! Fish have interesting behaviors despite their smaller than pea brains. My fish follow me as I move around the room, hoping I will come and feed them. If anyone else comes in the room, they hide! I have African Cichlids, who have a reputation for being mean, but they eat from my hand.
LOL!!! what a cutie! And I love the name!
