I had not planned to take anyone else's buns until we had less than three of our own, but Yogi's owners' children are all grown and in college or married with new grandbabies expected in August and October. Yogi's family mom is not going to be around much, so back in December we decided that he would come to live with us sometime before the new babies are born, especially since he no longer had Boo Boo for company.
He is a 6-year old neutered male Rex. Such a friendly bun, too, but a little shy right now. Reminds me so much of our beloved Periwinkle. I do hope he and I become special buddies. For right now, life is a little different for him with the new surroundings, the ladies, the cats, so we are taking it slow and trying to get him adjusted. He does enjoy the time outside in the playpens, a new experience for him.
(Now don't anyone be making comments about what a fat bunloaf he is--we're going to be working on that. Besides, back when I was a kid, gentlemen of his physique were called "portly.")

What a cutie and I wouldn't comment on how big he is...I'm sure you will feed him well enough to keep him happy. That's what bunnies do best, look cute as they chew. Glad he has a good home with you.
ReplyDeleteSmile today. :)
Yogi is quite handsome.I suspect he will be very happy in his new home.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, what a gorgeous sweet loafy-bun. Just more of him to love, that's all. :)
ReplyDeleteYay for new animal friends :) I finally used the spindle i got from you last month on the thrifted dream catcher roving. I'm very proud of the result. I've also been practicing carding/blending & rolling rolags. Thanks for showing me how to do them, they do make drafting a bit easier.
ReplyDeleteHere's an instagram picture of what I've been up to :)

ReplyDeleteHi Just to let you know that you have one an award for the one lovely blog,come and see!
ReplyDeleteOh, he's wonderful! Love him!
ReplyDeleteRex is the Best! Reminds me of our Jordan of long ago!
ReplyDeleteGood luck - nice he has a good home now!
Pretty boy!
ReplyDeletePortly sounds so dignified! That was dear of you to take him on. Our friends had to find a home for their two Maine Coon cats after losing their mountain home in the fire. I wish we could have adopted them. There's nothing like bringing a mature pet home :)
ReplyDeleteYogi looks so sweet. Perhaps instead of portly, just call him plush!
ReplyDeleteOh he is just precious!!!
ReplyDeleteYogi is just a sweet bunloaf. He's still a bit shy, but comes to me and stands up to be petted. I haven't let him in with the girls because they can have bunitude when they feel like it, so we're taking it slow. Even the three girls aren't what I could call bonded--they mostly tolerate each other, so I let them play together, but they don't share living quarters. Gabby is the real stinker and I sometimes think it's because she's smaller than the others and thinks she has to bully them a bit. I want to make sure they don't alienate Yogi.
ReplyDeleteAnd, Karen, I think the term plush is much better than portly.
WHAT a cutie!! i just want to run my fingers through that thick fur!!
