Yesterday, Laura adopted two rabbits from PetSave Foundation in San Pedro.
We started our day there by cleaning. Well, Laura cleaned, and I played with the little bunnies. They had cute little baby bunnies running around and totally making a mess out of their cage. Stinky! But oh, how they were cute!
Attached to the rabbit shelter was a gift store that helped generate income for the shelter. They had some really neat stuff, so I bought something to help them out. Two pairs of earrings. One is of rabbits. The other is of dragonflies.
Laura picked a pair of scardy cat rabbits named Ginger and Paprika. On the way home, Laura told me she wanted rabbits named Rex O’Hurlahan the Singing Cowboy and Peter the Town Drunk. Problem, both rabbits were girls. I suggested several different names, like maybe Shouga for one of them. Then I thought that maybe Shouga sounded like a male name also. (Shouga means ginger in Japanese.) Then I thought Wasabi and Karashi. Although, Karashi kinda rhymes with ‘kareshi’ (boyfriend) or like my dad’s name Takashi… No, Laura decided she really wanted to name them Rex O’Hurlahan the Singing Cowboy and Peter the Town Drunk. So now, Ginger and Paprika are Rex and Peter. >.>;
Once they were home, Rex kept on running away from us. Peter was much more friendly and allowed people to pet her. In order to get close to Rex, I had to lie down on my stomach and inch closer and closer. We must have spent about and hour in Laura’s backyard trying to get them acclimated to their new surroundings. Franklin tried to feed Peter a yogurt chip, but she took it with her teeth and flung it. >_< Rex just kept on running away. Although, I think Peter did eat the banana piece that was offered to her, Rex was still in panic mode to even consider sniffing for food. Eventually, they were put into their new hutches in the atrium while Laura, Janette, and I went shopping for a litter box for them.
I wonder how they are doing now.
