Meet Carlin...

The newest member of our family! We took Lucy to Rabbit Haven on Saturday to find her a boyfriend. Much to our surprise, the speed dating ended with the very first option!

A few years ago, for my 30th birthday, #4 got me Lucy, as I had grown up with bunnies as my only type of pet. We instantly fell in love. For a couple of years we've been talking about getting Lucy a companion, as bunnies are very social and love to have other bunny friends to play and get into mischief with! So...for #4's birthday I decided we'd finally take the plunge and try to find Lucy a companion.

Rabbit Haven is a wonderful organization run by Sue and Angie. These amazing women have dedicated their life to rescuing and taking care of bunnies and making sure they find a loving home. We were amazed when we arrived. They have a Bunny Barn and have so many cute rabbits, it was hard to not want to take them ALL home! Carlin came from a very bad situation in which a woman had way too many rabbits on her property and had stuck all of the males in a dark "pit." Carlin, being the smallest, ended up getting picked on, and came to Rabbit Haven very scared and beat up. Thankfully Angie and Sue know just what they are doing, and today Carlin is a very happy bunny. I think he and Lucy are going to do just fine. They are already checking each other out, batting around balls of paper, and chasing each other.

You can see more pictures of both Lucy and Carlin here. It's very difficult to get a bunny to sit still for a picture! :)
