Here comes Peter cottontail

Kaylee has wanted a bunny for a few years now. I'm not even sure when or why she wanted one. No one we know has one. But somewhere or on some show she saw a bunny and fell in love.

When she turned 8, I almost caved and got one for her birthday. However, the ones I handled sent me into a full-on allergy attack. At which point I quickly called American Girl and ordered a doll instead. David was so relieved.

But then this Christmas I told the kids they needed to start making a wish list for Santa. Kaylee's list went something like this.

Anway, you get the idea, So we broke and got the bunny. And man was she overjoyed. She loves that rabbit and to tell the truth I think the rabbit loves her. Everyday after school Kaylee holds her like a baby and they snuggle all afternoon. Clara, the rabbit, is so calm and very very soft. She's a Rex(breed) if that means anything to anyone. It didn't to me a month ago. But apparently the rex has the softest fur of all the rabbits.

We borrowed a cage from our friends The Odoms and I thought we would use it for several months until the spring. I mentioned to Zane that maybe he and David could make a wooden hutch for the bunny to keep outdoors. Well that got him researching rabbit hutches on the internet. Zane came across a "Bunny Condo" picture. He drew the blueprints, decided on the amount of supplies.......

And the next thing you know he and David had constructed a two-story, bunny condo. Complete with two doors, stairs, and plenty of room to move around in.
