Animal Whisperer




Since last year Abby has been saving for a bunny rabbit... yep, a real life bunny rabbit. See, Ryan's cousin used to watch Abby when I was working and she had bunnies, so that is how MY child got the crazy notion that we needed one. Well, after a full year of hoping she would forget, my 2 1/2 old saved up enough money (thanks to PopPop) to buy herself a bunny rabbit. We have not fully settled on a name for it, but she tossed around the name Sassy (which I suggested would be a great fit for my sassy daughter!), Oreo, or Skittles.... She even thought George might suit it.


I am fully amazed how God creates children with interest and passions at such an early age. Abby LOVES animals... any animal...... she loves to dig for worms, she spots squirrels and birds from a mile away, she is able to get our dog to "sit", "fetch", and "drop it" with such ease. And over the past few weeks Abby has even lured the neighbor cat into our yard with our black lab. The cat climbs the fence, jumps on the roof of the shed and then makes his/her landing in the grassy yard only to follow Abby around impatiently waiting for some lovin'. Now with the addition of our new bunny we can start charging admission as a full fledged petting zoo. (Friends and family are free!) Enjoy some of the pictures!
