Newest member of the family
As many of you know, we lost Cornelius a couple of weeks ago. While we still love our one remaining bunny (Ineke, who's been coping very well) the house felt... empty. It's not that we didn't want to grieve Corny's death (we scattered his ashes today, and Erin and I both shed a few more tears; we'll never forget that little guy!) but we have all this love and affection to give, and shouldn't be upset that we could no longer give it to Corny.
We were at the Ex, and as always, we went to the Toronto Humane Society on the grounds. There, we saw a beautiful New Zealand rabbit. She was white - an albino, actually, complete with red eyes - and painfully shy. A volunteer there named Roxane (yes, one 'n') who was rabbit savvy was talking to us about all the buns there. She was most afraid of this one, because she was quite large (she'll end up somewhere between 12-15 pounds when she's finished growing), she had already been adopted and returned because the family didn't understand the responsibilities. I was able to hold her non-stop for over 10 minutes, and then had her on my lap for a further 15, as she needed to be brushed.
So we brought her home.
I've already made a small photo album.
The problem is we need a good name. Erin's nicknamed her Angel for now, but it's not sticking. We're turning to everyone to look at her, and see if there's a name that springs to mind. Any suggestions out there?
P.S. No, I'm not changing my avatar. Sebastian was the original bunny, and will always be the original.
