  Hi All,
  
  I have been a reader of the forum since before I got Leo, my lop, but I just wanted to introduce him to everyone and say THANK YOU to everyone who is active in this forum! It provided me with SO MUCH helpful info, and I still come back whenever I have questions about my baby.
  
  I have had Leo for about 8 months now, and he is the *perfect* houserabbit. Friendly, curious, nearly perfect with his litter habits, and T-R-O-U-B-L-E! He follows my dog EVERYWHERE. Most of the time they are flopped out together on their “blankie”
  
  I will try to post pics here, but don’t quite know how to do it yet…

  OMG Leo is so, so cute! I have a huge soft spot for lops- and whenever I see a pic as cute as Leo’s it makes me grin and I wanna hug them! LOL
  
  He is so adorable and I love his markings! It looks as though he has no problem getting comfy next to the dog. Ha-Ha- bunny and Golden Retriever- partners in crime!

  they definitely are two-peas-in-a-pod. I am not sure if Leo thinks he is a dog, or Cody thinks he is a bunny! Cody tries to steal Leo’s lettuce, and Leo plays with Cody’s toys , as well as steals the majority of the blanket 🙂 Leo is definitely in charge…if he wants more room, Cody moves over!
  here is just one more for good measure… this is how they are as I type (then I promise I am done with pics)

  Leo is a holland, but I was told he was a “false dwarf” so is bigger than a “true dwarf” and can’t be shown (don’t know too much or care that much about show terminology..I am actually happy he can’t be shown; that is how I got him!)

  Oh, it is so great to see a multi animal house where they get along!
  I really hope to have dogs – and cats – again some day running and playing with my bunny’s!!!
  
  Leo is a total cutie!

  yea Leo definitely has Cody whipped.
  I have to say, I never thought a rabbit could be so social before getting Leo! I had today off of work and was TRYING to sleep in, when both my dog and Leo jumped on the bed to remind me that it was exactly half an hour past their breakfast time. My boyfriend says we live in a zoo…
  Leo has jumped on the bed on occasion in the 8 or so months that I have had him, but this is one of the first times that he actually stayed on for a good 20 minutes for a nice head scratch and cuddle session. As soon as the two of them managed to get me up, of course, they both run around the house in anticipation of breakfast. Cody (the dog) dancing in place, and Leo racing around the apartment.
  ahhh…. at least my animals are always good for a laugh, even if my sleeping-in days are over!

  What a little sweetheart! Very cute. I love the first pic, the look on his face that just begs to be loved. And laying with the dog pic is really cute too!

  What a beautiful pair. Leo is such an adorable bun. I’m also a sucker for the lops. I love the way their ears kinda twitch forward when you call their name. Leo would make a perfect match for our Luna

  Luna is precious! She does look like a laid-back bun as well; she and Leo definitely have the same “flop style”. I have a feeling Cody might be jealous though! He and Leo are “BFF” (even if Leo is clearly the boss).
  
  Give Luna a raisin and headscratch from Leo …haha…even their names sound cute together!

  ghddddaagriurfdgb (Luna says hi hehe, she likes to sit on my chest while i have the laptop)
  
  Leo and Cody look very comfy with one another, I’m not sure how Luna would react to a dog, she’s only had contact with one in her entire life and that was from a distance (im allergic to dogs so we dont own one) She likes our pet lizard Mushuu though haha.
  
  Luna syas thank you for the raisin also (she licked my nose) She’s a big fan of anyone who has food even if it’s not 100% bunny edible.
  
  Leo is ultra adorable, love the look he has on his face in the first pic you posted.

  yes, lop flops are the best. i’ve only had my lop for about 5 months, but he can seriously scare the heck outta me. his flops are so… lifeless. def. different from an uppy-eared flop.

  I’m still getting used to the coma-flop that our lops do. But they do look ever so cute, especially when their floppy ears lay lfopped out also. If you think Leo and Luna look comfortable, you should check out Bunny the wonder sleeper.
  
  She doesnt care where she flops and has even flopped so hard she slid off the couch. And OH boy can she sleep….even the vacuum cleaner doesnt wake her sometimes. I’ve poked her to check she was still alive and breathing.
  
  More people should have Lops, nothing against the pointy ear buns who are adorable but c’mon who can resist those floppy loppy big ears!!!!!

  Sounds like it’s officially a *coined term*
  
  Coma-Lop-Flop or *CLF*!!

  I agree- there is definitely something to be said for our floppy-eared friends and their coma-flops! The first time I ever saw Leo do it I panicked! He throws his whole body into the flop too…haha…sometimes he almost rolls all the way around!
