I Found a Bunny

Janie,

I have a gay friend who is really "foo-foo". He has a pair of tiny little Yorkies (also very foo-foo!) He named them Spike and Goliath!

I knew a girl who named her bunny Fluffer til a while later and some of her friends told her that is what they call the girls who get the guys "ready" for action when they make adult films lol. She changed her bunny's name.

YIKES!!! Sorry 'bout that - didn't know or I'd never have chosen that!
 
When I Googled it most sites said the word means a stew of marinated rabbit meat. I knew you were joking and so was I. :)

There are many many people around here who raise rabbits just for human or reptile food or to sell to people for training hunting dogs. One of Jon's friends stopped by here when he had been cleaning rabbits all day long he had raised to put in the freezer. He must have had the smell on him or something because it totally freaked Baron out. He wouldnt eat and trembled for a whole day after the guy left. Mostly rabbits raised for food are the bigger breeds with more meat on them like New Zealands or Standard Rex.

The breeds like I want as pets are not normally on the menu unless they have the misfortune of ending up with a reptile owner. English Angoras are raised by most people for their wool which is harvested by haircuts. Rabbits are just like any other animal. Some of them are smart and there is nobody home with some.
When I met the breeder who sold me Baron she brought a litter of 8 for me to choose from. She was a critical care nurse and had the most gentle air about her. Breeding bunnies was her hobby and she harvested their wool that she spun herself. Her bunnies really reflected the care she gave them.
I held the bunnies she brought and Baron was the only one who met my gaze and you could just tell he was thinking. He came home with me and the first thing he did was chase the dog away from me. He used the litterbox like cat and never chewed up anything. I never had him neutered and he never sprayed anything. I got really lucky and made a great choice with him. I still have his pedigree and his pic hangs over my desk.
I am hoping to have the same luck with the new one.
 
I like all the names you've mentioned so far, Janie. I think you're doing the right thing by gathering-up as many names as you can before-hand. Maybe once you hold him in your own huggable arms he'll give you a glance and his name will just speak it's voice to ya and make itself known!

BTW- when I mentioned to Layne that you were looking for a name for a bunny he asked: "How about 'Fluffy'?". When I replied that I think you were looking for something more original he modified his idea and then said "Well then how about 'Fluffy-Poo'?" Kids! Ya gotta love them! :)

I'm the cutsie type when it comes to names for animals - BooBunny, Snuggles, Bambino, HoneyBunny, Thumper, Hoppy, etc. until I get into my "ethnic" names - BrunoBunny, EnnioBunny, etc.
But that bunny needs a really unique name -

BTW -

How do you catch a unique bunny?
You 'neek up on him.

And how do you catch a tame rabbit?
Tame way.

Ok - back to doing my dishes..........
 
Cupid would work. I first said Bounce but the more I think about it the more it sounds like a dryer sheet.
 
Jon really likes the name Spike. It would be very funny to name a itty bitty fluffy white bunny Spike lol.
 
As far as I know Jon and I are going to go and get the bunny in the morning. I have directions and as long as I dont have any car trouble I plan to get him tomorrow morning around 10am. It is 35 miles one way on the interstate + about 5 miles once I get off the exit to the breeders home. She sent me directions to her house that made my head spin. I asked her for her street address and used Google Maps for directions. They were the same as hers but without the mumbo jumbo mixed in. I had a hard time wrapping my head around the directions she emailed me.

Good luck and HAVE FUN, Janie! We're all rooting for ya's! Can hardly wait to hear more! :)
 
Jon was all her directions will get us within a mile and then we will wing it. I was like uhm... don't think so. I emailed her back and got a steet address to go by. Driving in an area I have never been in I want directions. I'll check the oil and give the old car a drink of coolant in the morning. Gotta stop and put some gas in it and head out by atleast 9:30 in the morning if I can get Jon started by then. My old car leaks more fluids than the Titanic.
My sis and her hubby are probably gonna be busy all weekend + they have all had stomach flu and she has a bad cold.
When I get back if he isnt to dirty Ill post a picture. Im sure he is gonna be a bit dirty being in an outside cage.
