Meet Templeton

Well, we finally became pet-owners. We don't really know how to just play in the backyard anymore. Now, whenever we are outside, we take turns holding the bunny or watching it hop around. Templeton has become part of the family!

In the week that we've had it, the girls have come a long way in learning how to treat a pet. They help daddy change it's water and give it more food. They like to open the cage and let it out. But of course, it tries to avoid being picked up by them. Gracie has always been pretty sweet with it, but Millie has had to learn to not pick it up every other second. Templeton seemed so scared of the girls those first few days, but now he (or she) will sit calmly on their lap.



We put together a little cage that it can sit in with the girls so we don't have to worry about it getting away to far. The poor thing probably hates this thing. It loves to run to our garden and hide from the girls.

Oh, oh, oh! You know I support you in this purchase! ;o)I love the bunny. We want a bunny too, but we kinda have a full house currently. Maybe one day we'll get a bunny. He sure is a cutie! He matches your girls!

That is so cool! IT is so fun to have a pet that you can feed, pet, ride, hold. I love having my horse Tuffy- in which I groom her/ride her/pet/feed/make sure she has water, and our dog Sam-play with him/help feed/water (help with vet vists). Templeton- I think that is such a cute name, how did you come up with that adorable name? TI looks like Millie and Grace are having fun
love you

Aww, a bunny! We recently got a new puppy:-) He is a little mini dachshund, and is very sweet, but very high energy. That is good for my high energy little boy! Cameron and the dog love running and playing in the yard together.
