We picked up Lainey's bunny Belle on Sunday! She's the cutest little thing; she's awfully soft, very sweet, and seems to have a gentle temperament. She is a bit skittish but overall, she's very easy to handle and approach. Since day one (yes, I realize it's only day four), Lainey has taken full responsibility for Belle. She cleans the cage daily (when she's home) and when she's not, I help fill in the gaps. I don't mind, though, as she is doing her part. She feeds her every day and likes to give her hay. We are working hard on litter box training!
Good friends Anna and Eva came with us to pick up Belle in Waco. :)
We got home just in time for Walker's first basketball game! :) While Walker may not have a future in basketball, I'm so proud of him for trying and doing his best out there! He hustled and paid attention and even got the ball a few times! :)
Back to Belle....Emmy said her ears look like airplane wings in this photo. So true!
After school on Monday, Lainey did her homework next to Belle's cage. And if anyone is wondering, Reagan has barely acknowledged Belle. When they did meet face-to-face, Reagan started shaking and trembling and just wanted to be held. She then turned her head away from the bunny. Basically, Reagan "shunned" her. At least she didn't try to boss her around. :)
Belle already has about ten nicknames. Bellerina, Belly-Boo, Baby Girl, Belly, Bella-Boo...just to name a few.
Until last night, Belle had no idea how to get up onto the "loft" in her cage. But - overnight - she figured it out and had a grand ole time up there...she pooped everywhere and peed in the box after discarding the pillow and blanket that had been provided for her by Anna, Lainey, and Eva. The girls made lots of things for Belle - but sadly, this box had to go... Belle did get some enjoyment out of it, however. Besides peeing in it, she nibbled the sides and took off some of the stickers. ;)
