        Once upon a time there was a stray bunny caught hopping across the lawn of a neighbor of Bunny Lu.  The neighbor thought the bunny belonged to Bunny Lu and escaped, so they scooped her up and took her there.  The neighbor was informed that the stray bunny was not a Bunny Lu bunny but the rescue had a space and could take her in. They named her Zinnia.

        She was a medium sized steel colored bunny and so very sweet.  She was one of those rare bunnies who loves to sit in peoples’ arms for hours and hours being petted and talked to.  TARM was a new volunteer at Bunny Lu and she really liked Zinnia.  Every time TARM came to clean the bunny cages she spent a lot of time with Zinnia.  One day TARM showed up to do her regular volunteering and Zinnia was gone.  She had been adopted.  TARM was both happy and sad.  At the time TARM did not adopt Zinnia because she thought she could not handle any more bunnies.  She already had two at home (heh).

        A year went by and TARM became a board member for Bunny Lu.  She spens lots more time there and has many more responsibilities.  As a board member, and the person who updates Petfinder, she is notified when new bunnies are coming in and/or adopted bunnies are being returned.  She found out last week that Zinnia has lost her home and will be arriving today.  TARM is sad for Zinnia and tells Mary Ellen, who is taunting her with this information because she knows TARM has a soft spot for Zinnia, that Zinnia will not be coming home with her because she already has six rabbits. 

        Zinnia arrives while TARM is working on bonding a blind bunny whose companion died on Monday with another bunny.  She did not see Zinnia before she was put into one of the cages.  After working on the bonding she decides that it is time to go home.  Before she leaves she picks up the camera to take a new picture of Zinnia.

        When TARM sees Zinnia she completely loses it because, not only is Zinnia every bit as beautiful as she remembers, she is also 12 lbs and about three times larger than she was when she left.  TARM has wanted a felmmie since she found out they existed and it turns out that Zinnia is a flemmi mix!

        TARM kneels in front of the cage, hands the camera to Amber, and picks Zinnia up and snuggles her.  Zinnia buries her face in TARM’s neck and TARM is helpless against the gotcha fairy.  “Oh, no, she is coming home with me TODAY.” TARM declares.  Mary Ellen had followed her to Zinnias cage with a carrier because she knew this was going to happen.

        TARM filled out her adoption paperwork less than 30 minutes after Zinnia was returned.  Zinnia is now cozy in her new cage, which Ozzie and Oliver were kicked out of (they have been relocated back into Amber’s bedroom).  TARM has her flemmie and she will now live happily ever after.

        The end.

        And pictures.

          Oh my goodness!!! I like the way you told that story! Hehe… the gotcha fairy. It’s sad that Zinnia was returned, but it was meant to be, obviously! I couldn’t tell how big she was in the first two pictures but in the ones of you holding her…. WOW.

              Kristie, you made me tear up!!!!! Congratulations on the reunion and homecoming of Zinnia. Love the story! I guess Mary Ellen knows… there’s always room for more bunnies when it’s right.

              I wish you had more time too post on the boards. I’ve really enjoyed hearing about Ambers bunnies, now Zinnia, and would love to hear more about the blind bunny you are working with…But I won’t beg ;o) Enjoy what time you do have with your crew.

                          Thank you everyone! My bunny family is now complete. I have two lion head mixes, a mini rex, a mini lop mix, two rex mix up ear agouti TV star boys, and my flemmie.

                          Monkey, I can pull this off because I don’t have a hubby to object.

                          Jersey, I will tell a story about Amber’s boys escaping from their cage as soon as I get a chance. The blind boy is sad. His name is Hugh and his wifes name was Pansy. She has taken care of him for the last five years and he is lost without her. :0( But I think he might have a new friend named Luna. I’m going back on Saturday and will work on it some more.

                                Well, I should be lucky my hubby has let me have the 2 here in the apartment, he says more have to wait til we have a house… naturally tho, he isn’t in a hurry to get a house, the meanie.

                                Poor Hugh, hope Luna can cheer him up!

                                  That is the sweetest story!

                                  I love how she doesn’t look that big in the pictures by herself, but on your lap she looks huuuuge! Haha. I love her! Her name is super cute too!

                                    I love the story!

                                    A friend of ours has a Flemmie named Boswell and he is I think 15lb and so beautiful. Those ears are so much bigger in person on a big bunny. Boswell is so laid back and will just sit forever for pets. My husband talks about Boswell all the time. I think if we ever get another he would love a big bunny.

                                    It is amazing how things work out. Zinnia was obviously meant to be with you and now your family is complete. There is something so precious about a bunny that will snuggle on your chest. Just melts your heart.

                                        Hedi, that’s a display of note cards we sell at expos and events. The Super Pet Expo in Maryland is at the end of January and we just had an open house so its kind of just sitting there to be loaded on the expo trailer.

                                            I’m looking at the pics of Zinnia again, and I must say… she’s one beautiful big girl. *sighs* She looks so comfy on you, makes me want to get one. Although, I’m sure Monkey wouldn’t appreciate a bun thats 12 times her size!

                                                        What a beautiful rabbit. I would have done the same. Congrats. More pictures would be welcome!

                                                          Oh my gosh, I just returned to work from vacation (started 12/23) and I miss Zinnia! This is nuts! She’s the only bunny in the house who doesn’t have a mate (there just so happens to be a flemmie buck at Bunny Lu but srsly, I DO NOT NEED ANOTHER RABBIT!) so that’s probably why I’m worried about her. She’s used to being alone, her other mom traveled a lot, which is why she was returned, so it’s business as usual for her but that doesn’t make me miss her any less.

                                                          I kind of want her to stay a single bunny because I want to snuzzle her and spoil her. That’s hard to do when the bunnies are part of a pair. All of my other guys are really only happy to see me when I have food. Zinnia is happy to see me just because I walk by. Tell me I’m not a horrible person for being selfish…
