Meet Max

I don't know how many of you remember our...ummm...adventure with some rabbits and ducks last Spring. Well, Spring is here and we are once again bunny sitting for miss Denna while she does her Easter portraits. In all honesty, I had completely forgotten that we were even going to do this. Of course, we don't mind at all, we love it, but it was a struggle to not sound surprised yesterday when Denna called to tell me that she was bringing the rabbit over at 3:00 :-) 

Denna arrived with the bunny at 3:00 on the dot and I thought the timing was great. I was just getting ready to go pick up Cate from school and I thought it would be great to tell her that she had a surprise waiting for her at home. I made Simon promise to not spill the beans...I mean we live a whole 100 yards from her school so it's not like we had a long drive ahead of us. When Cate got into the car, I told her that we had a big surprise at home for her. 

Cate: "*gasp*! Did you buy me flip flops?" 

Me: "Well, yeah, but that's not your surprise."

Cate: "What color?"

Me: "I can't tell you it's a surprise"

Cate: "Not the surprise, what color are the flip flops? Ohhh I hope they are pink!"

Cate wasn't really as surprised as I had hoped she'd be. After looking at the bunny and saying "Awww, he's beautiful." she ran straight inside to put her new flip flops on(I don't know where she gets that from). The boys however are in love with the rabbit.

Last year, we kept the furry and feathery things outside. 3 dead ducklings and 2 dead rabbits later and we are glad that this bunny came with a cage that we can keep inside. His name is Max and his is a lop eared rabbit which is going to look smashing in Denna's Easter portraits! The boss expressed interest in adopting the rabbit after Denna is done with him. 'Cause you know...3 kids and a pregnant cat just doesn't keep us busy enough!
