Not really. Obviously. But I adopted a bunny, which is the closest I'll be to motherhood for a while.
For about a year, now, I've been begging my dad to let me keep a rabbit at his house. Dogs are a lot of work and you can't play with a lizard, so I figured something small and furry would be perfect. Finally, he agreed, and we started scouring pet stores and shelter websites.
It turns out, PetSmart and Petco no longer carry bunnies. And I would feel bad going to shelter full of orphans, not adopting any because they weren't cute enough. We found my bunny on craigslist, sketchy as it sounds. The owner was selling him, along with a cage, food, and all his accessories. We pretty much got a Grow-Your-Own Bunny starter kit.
After driving to Saugus, driving back, and getting him settled, I tried deciding on a name for him. That was Thursday, and I still haven't decided. At first I wanted to call him Orpheus (really nerdy, but it's from that Greek myth Orpheus and Eurydice), but it's too masculine for a bunny and sounds like a name for a Transformer. Now, I'm leaning towards Pippin (from Lord of the Rings, another nerd reference), but I'm not quite sure it fits. I also like Jamie, just because it's a really cute name, but I'm really bad at making decisions. I'll probably just end up calling the thing Bunny.
He has the same birthday as me, which is really cool, and he's a master escape artist. We let him out of his cage to explore my bedroom the first night, and he wouldn't get back in for almost an hour.
Pippin, a.k.a. Jamie, a.k.a. Bunny
Oh my God i'm so jealous of your rabbit. Obsessed with it.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I totally agree with your issue with names! Now, I just refer to every animal as what they are. But your bunny is cute! Don't get a female bunny, because the term "screw like rabbits" is EXTREMELY literal.
ReplyDeleteI'd go with Pippin for a name, as it's different than any other generic animal name. At least with a unique name like that, you'd have an interesting back story to tell of how he got his name :)
ReplyDeleteAha at first I thought the pictures were cute until I see poop right next to the bunny lol.
ReplyDeleteAwh, your bunny is so cute. I always ask my stepmom if I can get a bunny. She says I already have enough animals. I have two dogs, a cat, three lizards and occasionally a hamster. So, I guess I don't really need a bunny.
ReplyDeleteAwww so cutee!! I want to get a dog tho :)
