Meet Lola !

I can't remember how it began, but for the past few years I have been completely enamoured by bunnies!

I've watched every video of them hopping around on youtube, seen and saved every adorable photo of them posing in sweaters and eating flowers to be found online, own numerous bunny themed books, artworks, jewellery and clothing items - I just love them!! I mean, how can I not?!

Until recently I didn't live in a place that would allow me to have my own and it was the most devastating.
  Long story short, two weeks ago we drove to the other side of town to pick up the most adorable little boy! Meet Lola! Named after bugs bunnies girlfriend and the Kinks song

Isn't he adorable? When we first got him home the dog, Zorro, was so curious. He would cry and sit by the cage just watching Lola hop around, who didn't mind a bit. Zorro is a bit more comfortable with Lola now, but I'm still hesitant to let them get too close as he is a breed of hunting dog and I'm scared he will get a bit bitey.

We are planning on getting a large, temporary cage that we can set up on the lawn so he can run a bit further, in the meantime we have a tiny harness so he can explore. I expected him to not like it very much, but he doesn't even notice and hops around the entire yard.

I could probably write an essay about this little guy and we've only had him for two weeks - I love him so much! (I'm pretty sure he feels the same way about me too - When I pat him,  he licks like crazy and sometimes even chatters his teeth which I've read is a bunnies version of a cat purring)

I don't have that many great photos yet - he hardly ever sits still

If anyone has any advice about anything bunny related, please leave a comment below because i'm new to this and want to keep him as healthy and happy as possible :)
