In memory of "Baby"

"Baby" joined our lives June 2010 when we went to a bed and breakfast ranch for our 4th wedding anniversary. The owners of the Bed and Breakfast had too many rabbits, so they were giving them to the guests for free. He was our first pet. We kept him inside of the house until the last two weeks of his life, when Jennifer decided to experiment and see how he would do outside. Once he tasted freedom, he didn't want to come back. He was caught, though, and put into his cage. We left the cage outside and forgot about it while we left the house for the day. Monday August 8, 2011 Jennifer found Baby dead. It was hot, he wasn't in the shade, we assume he died of heat exhaustion.

Jarom cutting Baby's nails

Always curious and hungry. He got up onto the table, knocked down the plant pot, ate most of the Christmas cactus, and hopped away like nothing happened.

He liked to dig and scratch. In attempt to save our rug and recliner (which are pretty scratched apart), Jarom and "R" made a hideaway with a box and carpet samples. Here is Baby inside without the lid on top.




Doing some tricks.




Right after being let out of his cage into the backyard (don't mind the messy porch, it looks much better now).

Memories

*smuggling him onto a train in a camera case

*buying necessary rabbit equipment and learning how to take care of him

*his first time in his new cage, while he was small. He was so excited

*when he was little and let us hold him, there was a big loud lightning and thunderstorm, Baby snuggled up to Jennifer

*Jen would play the piano and sing, he'd sit on his perch in his cage and listen

*when people tried to exercise, while he was out of his cage, he would jump around their legs and try to play

*taking him and all of his stuff with us on trips

*giving him a bath

*he was the perfect ice breaker when all of our foster children first came to our home

*we have some great pictures of Baby with the foster kids (we can't post on here)

*children loved him and looked forward to coming to see him at our house

*he was always curious (sometimes that wasn't a good thing)

*good conversation topic

Go Fly a Kite

Well it's a windy day. Why not?

Off to a good start.

And as always one has to get stuck in a tree. In this case it was actually the string that got caught, and if you look really close you will see that it is still flying.

Happy Birthday Jen

Here we are posing for Jennifer's Birthday

Surprise, Jen shows off some of her gifts.

V-Day

Long time no post. Life has been pretty incredibly busy for us so we don't get to Blog much. We do still go on dates every once and a while. Here are some pics of out last date. We went to a Valentines day dance.
