As you can see it's really cute. And the story of how we got it is rather sad (after all, we're suckers for a sad story).
We had an old fridge we were selling on Craig's List and someone came for it. Apparently they'd been kicked out of their former home and had a new place lined up but there were NO appliances. Thus they were looking for the cheapest running fridge they could find (which happened to be ours).
So how did we end up with the rabbit? Side note, I was not home at all during this time. As they were getting ready to leave, they asked if we were interested in their rabbit or dog (We are not big dog people so that was out of the question). I guess they either couldn't have pets or they didn't feel they could afford them. Whatever, the case hubby said yes to the rabbit. So, back to the side note... I get home and AS I'm getting out of the car the kids come running out of the house and say, "Mommy guess what? Daddy got us a rabbit!" My first thought - they MUST be kidding. He wouldn't do that with all the animals we already have. I was wrong.
We now have a rabbit, 10 cats (only one of which we consider ours), and 6 fish. And we're thinking of getting some chickens soon. Yep, we're crazy.
I will say this though... I have never seen my son more willing and interested in reading and looking up things than since we started getting all these pets. We've come home with library books on fish. He's done online research about them too. And the rabbit research has pretty extensive as well.
