Day #2 with baby Apollo.

Naomi and Apollo are giving each other kisses through the cage bars!

The little fella hopped up onto the pellet container to try to give Naomi kisses.

She was so excited that she was biting the cage bars (she does this when treats or anything else she likes is in-bound despite our best efforts to train her out of it), so I had to gently steer the little fella away because she gets in the zone when she's spun-up excited. Baby Apollo was so offended that I was trying to keep him away from his new friend that he lightly boxed at my hands. Sorry little buddy--it's for your own good; you can give her kisses later. (Don't want a misunderstanding if his little nose was accidentally nibbled!)

Introducing baby Apollo!

We brought this curious, bold, sweet little boy home with us on Sunday. Naomi is fascinated by him and he is a friendly little fella, so bonding is going well so far. We're keeping them separate for now, but they're getting used to one anothers' presence as Apollo settles into his new home.

The little guy has given me three nose-bonks today and has come up to me and let me give him noogies multiple times, so that was an unexpected surprise!

Happy girl!

Seeing Naomi do a huge binky yesterday had me grinning like an idiot.  It warms my heart to see her happy!

In other good news, we managed to find a little boy bunny who is in need of a good home.  Big human, Naomi, and I are going to pick the little one up on Sunday.  Naomi will be in her own carrier and we'll bring a separate one for the baby bun, so they can each see and smell one another on the ride home.  We're going to take it slow and see how she reacts and the personality of the baby bun and work to make sure everybun feels safe and loved because this will be a huge life change for everyone.

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Having a sad.

Naomi was looking in Amos' empty cage (we haven't removed it because she'll get even more upset if it's gone) and then did this. I helped Mr. Giraffe give her lots of kisses and snuggles along with some noogies of my own. Thankfully her bouts of grief are becoming fewer and farther between. It's just going to take time.

My giraffe!

Naomi is letting everyone know that Mr. Giraffe is HER best friend and not ours.

She's channeling Amos.

Found the pellets! Also, my lawyer, Mr. Giraffe, Esq. says that I can't get in trouble right now because I'm grieving.

Honestly, I'm just thrilled that Naomi decided to pull off a shenanigan! She's also started to eat more normally again, which is a huge relief.

Finding our new normal.

Mr. Giraffe has been by Naomi's side ever since we lost Amos. She is so gentle with him and gives him all of the snuggles while we help him give her all the kisses back.

We set Amos' cage mat next to hers and she sleeps on it next to Mr. Giraffe, who has become her security blanket. She'll dig at and move her own mat, but Amos' mat is special and gets kisses too.

We've learned that we can't remove Amos' cage from the living room because Naomi will get so upset that she'll loudly meep, act completely spooked, and will not stop thumping no matter how much we try to console or distract her (and this was after almost a week as we didn't want to try to change her environment too quickly once we got home).

We're looking into finding Naomi a friend because she seems like she'd do better with one than being a lone bun. Not sure of the logistics of doing that just yet as we've decided to buy my parents' house from the estate (our first home!) and it's going to be a process going back and forth between states for a while trying to get everything settled.

Thank you all so much for your kind words, love, and support--it really means a lot to us.
