I miss Kilo. Such a simple understatement. I've found myself using it to convey a jumbled array of emotions. For awhile I could hardly contemplate replacing him. Did I want another dog, let alone another Leonberger? I wasn't sure. Now, after having spent hours finishing up the big dogs scrap book, after sifting through pictures and stories and attempting to make sense of what happened with him I can say that yes, I'd like to have another Leonberger. Excluding his mental instability, I loved everything about Kilo. He was smart, curious, loving, happy, stubborn and a convenient height for petting. No dog will ever be able to replace Kilo. He was my first big dog, a dog I had waited years to have. My dream dog you could say, and even though he wasn't perfect or what the breed is known for being, even though we didn't accomplish half of what I wanted us to, he was mine.
Miko searching for pellets:

I got off subject for this blog. This blog was supposed to be about our bunnies. Miko, our gray bunny, we rescued at an adoption facility a couple years ago. This past spring we adopted Felli (tan bunny). Felli was a cast off from the Easter bunny rush. We found her hopping around the bushes near the building we attend church at one weekend. She and her siblings were attempting to live under the bushes. Why the person didn't simple give them to a rescue, we don't know. The vet guessed her age to be around 3 months - she's ridiculously cute and super friendly. Our one problem was housing. Miko has always been a 'people' bunny. She'd never had any kind of companions outside of us and she didn't exactly take to Felli. In an effort to give them enough space to move and explore, I built them a couple of bunny 'homes'. Eventually I hope Miko will get over her territorial instincts and accept Felli, so that they can live together and be pals, but until then their new homes will sit side by side.

ReplyDeleteThat is a very cool habitat you came up with! Such cute bunnies! I'm glad you were able to capture the stray before something happened to it.
