Tooz Daisy




We went and did it. We had been thinking about adding to our family off on and for a few weeks. We knew we couldn't get another cat because Maisy would be mean to it. We weren't sure we wanted another dog and let's not even pretend that if Miss Grommet got her nose out of joint what that would mean. So we were limited on our options. We considered fish and other non-cuddle type pets but really, what fun are they? Of course I would love a turtle but that's silly really. Again, not cuddly and they carry so many germs I wouldn't have been comfortable with the kids handling it. So, it brought us back to our childhoods. Bret raised literally hundreds of bunnies as a child. I had two at different times. They are cute, cuddly and relatively low up keep compared to other pets. So, we considered it. We looked at a couple pet stores and weren't too impressed. Not thinking we would really go out and get one yet but I saw some listed on Craig's List. We went and checked them out. They were the nicest, most calm baby bunnies we had seen. Ella picked one up and it snuggled right in. So, Bret paid the man and asked if we could pick her up the next day. Early this morning we went out and gathered supplies. Bret worked hard all afternoon and built her the nicest hutch you've seen. We picked her up this afternoon and she fits very well into our family. The girls love her, and she love them. Tolerates even Maddie going after her. She was real nervous around Grommet but didn't do too bad. We will little by little introduce them again. So everyone, please meet Tooz Daisy. (Tooz is Chinese for bunny)
