But I can see why rabbits come later in the progression--they're REALLY skittish and don't love being handled, so they're not the best critters for kids to be messing with. When we hold bunnies, I get them out (well, I do with any animal, as required by policies) and carry them to the room we're going to pet them in, then Nathan and I trade off holding on our lap so the other one of us can pet them a bit. But they sure don't seem to love the attention the way the cats and dogs do.Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854988599579651219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065190676881223953.post-69563899043751910732012-09-17T09:58:42.895-07:002012-09-17T09:58:42.895-07:00Great photos!

They had 3 training sessions before they were allowed to play with kitties any time they want--all this leading up to being able to walk dogs (when Cassie gets bigger) and (her ultimate prize destination): play with all the rabbits. I'm not sure why dogs are before bunnies.<br /><br />Yay for you!AareneXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18072169739345465380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065190676881223953.post-13736489341638772782012-09-16T19:01:43.843-07:002012-09-16T19:01:43.843-07:00Harris sounds like Agatha was when Dear Daughter g...Harris sounds like Agatha was when Dear Daughter got her. DD picked up the kitten (about 12 weeks old, maybe?), looked at her face, said, "Mom, this is the one I want" and that was that. I told her we had to make sure Kitten got along with Dad, too, so we had to wait until the next day to actually do the adoption, but yeah...Kitten chose DD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
