And now…

 

 

 

The first week he lived in the backyard.

 

 

 

I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the apple of my eye,

Mr. Rutger H. Bunny.

 

 

 

 

The second week in the backyard.

 

 

Mr. Bunny actually was a neighbor’s rabbit that had escaped one too many times.  My neighbors had gone on vacation and the bunny previously known as Boogie was living in my backyard for about two weeks.  I was finally able to talk with the young girl that owned the bunny and explained to her that if she could not take care of the rabbit without it escaping all the time that I would take the rabbit and care for it myself.  She seemed keen on the idea only if I kept the rabbit for a few months.  I had to let her know that this was not an option.  That if she wanted to give me the bunny I would take care of it for the rest of its life.  So I anxiously waited for a week while she thought about it.  The day finally came when I knew for certain that she would not let the bunny go.  As soon as I said this out loud my phone rang.  It was the young lady calling to tell me that her and her brother’s were bringing Boogie over for me to keep!

 

 

Mr. Bunny is a Netherland Dwarf Rabbit.  Thus the name Rutger H. H standing for Hauer of course.  As in Rutger Hauer the actor.  I was forced into this choice of name by the ever pressing Mr. Juizgax.

 

 

 

 

Rutger is approximately three years old with an expected life span of six years.  I am hoping to have him for a lot longer than that.

 

 

 

 

What do you see in these two pictures?  A cute little fuzzy butt!!!

That’s what!!

 

 

 

 

One day I heard about how you could get a harness & a leash for your rabbit and train him for walks.  Well!  What a brilliant idea that was…WHAT?!?  If you ever do get an older bunny that has never been trained for a leash & harness NEVER subject him to it!!  A leash is one of the most torturous devices a

 

 

 

 

 

person could put on their rabbit.  Mr. Bunny was frantic!  He couldn’t run free! I was mortified at the panic I instilled in my sweet little bunny.

Although he does look rather handsome in it.  It brought out the color of his eyes.

 

 

Lucky Butterscotch

 

This is our roommate Lucky B.  The “B” stands for Butterscotch.  Lucky B. is at least 20 years old.  I was rather excited about introducing Mr. Bunny to Lucky as Lucky had lost his brother Ducky Poo just a few months before.

 

 

 

Ducky Poo

 

 

There was a little distance

during their first encounter

  The usual, “Hi.  How are you?”  That sort of thing. 

 

First Meeting

 

 

 

Lucky and Mr. Bunny’s second encounter had closer interaction between the two.

 

Second Meeting

 

 

 

Ah... Their third meeting however left little to the imagination.

 

Run Lucky Run!!!

 

Where’s he going?!?

 

 

 

 

In case you are wondering about that basket ball…

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is Rutger’s bestest friend ever!

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see with Lucky being so standoffish, Mr. Bunny had to make do with what was just sitting there in the backyard.

 

The Basketball.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As Time Goes On…

 

 

This is a…

 

 

Work In Progress!!
