Five years ago today, my friends Danielle and Matt found a little gray bunny that they thought was a domesticated rabbit. It would turn out that she was neither. She was actually a wild hare who had been seperated from her mother at too young of an age. A week after they found her she and (the late lop Thylali) came to live with me. Sadly Thylali passed on a year and a half later from age, but Baby is still going on strong. Looking at the very first pictures of Baby from the day she was found, you can really tell how much she has changed. She’s gotten bigger, her dulap has grown to mammoth proportions and she’s a little chubber since her wild instincts tell her to eat as much as she can whenever there is food. The little white spot on her forehead has vanished, she’s had lifelong problems with her tear ducts and she can be very destructive at times - almost to the point of driving me nuts, but it’s all part of what makes Baby Baby. Hell, she even chose her name in the first week I had her, as she would respond to “Who’s the baby bunny?” and nothing else.

I love her very much. Out of the two bunnies, she’s the most curious and playful. She is the greediest pet I’ve ever owned and when it comes to food she is aggressive enough to take food right out of Chewie (or even my) mouth if it’s something sweet. She loves satin and lace and will happily dig and play in it for what seems like hours. She also loves Chewie very much and is addicted to Children’s Benadryl (for her tear duct issues.) her favorite toy in the world is Nutty Stick Ball and there’s even a popular video of her with one floating around the Internet.She hates other girl bunnies and has disdain for Guin’s cat (Possibly because said cat loves Chewie too) and she’s generally a happy bunny even if she hyperventilates easy (Again, she’s a wild animal that’s been domesticated. Things freak her out easier).

Hard to believe she’s gone from this:

to this:

At times it feels like yesterday and forever that I’ve had her, but I’m very happy that she’s been a big part of my life for so long.
