Meet Howie

[HowieBunny]

Hi, I am Heather, wife to a wonderful man, mom to 5 beautiful children Brittney (21), Jake (19), Zach (16), Nico (15) and Ben (13).  I am a 17 year hockey mom – all 4 boys play and a cat and dog mama.  

Our son Nico’s cat, Jack had to be put down unexpectedly and we were devastated.  About a month later, he asked me about getting a rabbit.  We found Howie thru a teacher at his school.  At first I said no but here we are, with our Howie!

We had thought Howie was a boy UNTIL “he” went to our vet to be neutered – turns out, she is a girl!  We kept her name because she responds to it and it seemed wrong somehow to change it.

She is the biggest delight!!  She has a two story indoor hutch which she is in at night and has the run of the house during the day.

She gets along with all of our cats and two dogs – it is amazing how animals can come together like that!  

We rescued a starving kitten over the winter a dew weeks before we got Howie, they have become the best of friends.

Howie has such a great personality, she definitely keeps the dogs and cats on their toes!  She loves her bowl of “salad” every day – she will follow me to the fridge and wait while I put fresh veggies together for her.  She loves to play with her toys and play with whatever box may be lying around. She is a cuddler and just plain funny.  She loves one particular heat vent in the living room and sits in the window sills with the cats. 

I work from home – she will come into my office every once in a while to check in and give me a rub on the leg.

I have now added crazy rabbit mom to my crazy cat mom title and I love it!!

Welcome to Binky Bunny! I love stories like yours, how people have fallen head-over-heels for a rabbit and it’s also bonded with the other pets.
It’s sounds as if she’s become everyones rabbit, rather then just your son’s rabbit! It’s also lovely that having Howie has helped everyone deal with the passing of Jack.

Looking forward to seeing photos of her. As I am one of the admins, I was able to check to see if you had attached some photos. I see that you did but they are not showing. The file names are a long series of numbers and it’s preventing the “Insert Image” icon from showing next to the file name. If you rename the photos to a short, simple name, then upload as attachments again, you should see that icon. Then it’s just a matter of clicking on that and the photos will appear in your post.

Hello and welcome to Binky Bunny! That’s a very cute photo of Howie in your profile picture. I love seeing her all stretched out with her feet behind her.
