Did you ever want a bunny? 08/24/2011
Yesterday was a dull day. I got up, ate breakfast, and went to work with dad. At work I tried to go outside on my own but got scolded and promptly returned inside, then later there was even a gate put up to keep me inside. As the end of the day approached, I got a little excited to go home. So I hopped in the truck when the door opened... and got buckled up. Yep, this was going to be a dull ride too. Turns out we weren't going home. Instead we went to my friend Quinn's house. Yay! I couldn't wait to get chased around. Quinn was too busy to play but dad did occasionally peel himself away from the other humans to play with me. Eventually I gave up and just lay in dad's lap and then later behind him on the couch. Being close to dad always makes me happy. I feel safe and loved. After some time, dad was finished his game. All the humans were putting away all their things away, that was a good signal we were about to head home. Instead of going outside though, dad went into a new room. In that new room there was a cage with two unidentified animals. I was terrified and confused. Dad seemed unconcerned as he reached in the cage and drew one of the creatures out. As I watched from a distance, he just held it in his arms and pet it. I eventually steeled myself enough to come close and sniff it. The creature didn't smell or act dangerous, so I gave dad my ok. He then brought out the other for me to sniff. As I watched these animals, I circled their cage. I sniffed at them and coaxed them to the edge of the cage to check them out better. I found that as I watched them and sniffed them more, I became intrigued with these animals. In fact I was downright curious about them. I tried to play through the bars of the cage but dad wouldn't let me touch the cage with my paws. I hope to some day get to play with one face to face, the bars of a cage are too limiting. So I did what any kid would do; I asked dad if I could have one. Dad in turn did what every kid's father would do; he said "we'll have to ask your mom." Maybe next time I'll be able to tell you I have a bunny for a pet. CommentsLeave a Reply |
