So where do I start with this tale....Hmm I suppose at the beginning would be good!
I first met Caramel in this little shop,the lady who owned it mainly dealt with Aquariums and different types of fish but then she started selling Rabbits and small animals only a small selection as she was choosy about the breeders.Anyway she had this little lop that was about 8 weeks old she use to take him home everyday as he was poorly with bladder problems and she decided she was going to keep him as she felt he needed a special home.but every week I used to visit the shop with my mum and step dad as they where potty about tropical fish and they where setting up a big tank and after a while I would get a little board so I would look at the bunnies and small animals.And that's when I saw him this beautiful little lop who would hop over to me for a scratch and look up at me with adoring eyes,this is when I asked about him and found out about his problems and that he was not for sale because the owner did not want him dumped in a poky little hutch out side in someones Garden.I agreed with with her I told her if he was mine he would be a house rabbit.At the time this was a new concept in the U.K the owner she gave me a peculiar look but she scooped him up and gave him to me to cuddle,something I had never her do before with any one or any of the animals.Well he looked at me and I looked at him and that was it love at first sight and my first bunny kiss right on the tip of my nose.But then I had to put him back as we were leaving and then every week for about 4 weeks it was the same routine we would come back to the shop for my mum and step dad and I would have a cuddle with that little lop and then to my surprise my mum asked me if I would like that bunny for Christmas... and I know what you are all thing about that but I was in my twenty's and still living at home and not a kid. So Caramel came home to me a couple of weeks before Christmas.

DeleteYeay! Such a happy story! I must say I have a soft spot for Lops. My first house rabbit, Looppy, was a Lop. :)

ReplyDeleteoh yes! and boy do they boss you about..hehe
DeleteThat is a very wonderful Gotcha story!
ReplyDeletenext time it will be about his adventures
DeleteI think bunnies know who will love them... Seems to me like Caramel knew he would find a forever home with you. What a sweet story! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteit was time,I still miss like crazy but I suppose thats because he was my first bunny
Deleteohhhhh what a wonderful story! That is so flattering that the woman never let anyone hold the pets in the store but she let YOU hold the bunny!!!!! I loved this story!
ReplyDeleteyes it was flattering but also I knew her quite well and she knew that he had a liking for me because he would stretch up the side of the pen he was in to get my attention he wasn't normally interested in people..I'm just glad that she let me have him and that my mum and step dad too,as it really was love at first sight and we bonded in that store so when he came home it was very easy it was just perfect!
DeleteMe loved your story abouts Caramel! Me falled in love with my Daddy the minute we first met, but me showed him love with my claws!
ReplyDeleteKisses Speedy! Yous has a wonderful Mommy!
Nellie
Thank you Nellie,you are such a nice girl,Speedy's mum
DeleteWhat a neat story. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought it was time to tell about my previous bunnies
DeleteA grand start of bunnying!
ReplyDeleteYes it was,and he was a cheeky little man too
DeleteLovely story and wonderful bunnies! You've had quite a varied set of bunnies. First a lop, then a Dutchie and now a BWB! All the best! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd they all have different personality's too!
ReplyDeleteAwww... Caramel picked you :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet. I always let my animals pick me too.
It's always better that way
DeleteWhat a sweet baby and what a sweet story. I too believe that the choose you.
ReplyDeleteand when I lost him I thought I would die too
DeleteAwwww, Caramel is a heart-melter. What a sweet little lop. We hope he had a wonderful life as a house bunny. ....we're thinking he was probably showered with love all of his days.
