Bilbo (Buster, Butter Butt) Baggins-Sears aka Abigail's Husband

Although Bilbo wasn't considered a "rescue", he was. He was in a local pet store *gag* at 5 1/2 weeks old and in an aquarium right inside the doorway standing on his hind legs begging for attention from anyone. When he let me pick him up immediately, I knew he was coming home with me. He was a tiny baby and so full of life. Although Bud protested profusely (actually it was a more than firm "NO", I took it upon myself to retreive him anyway. The people at pet stores are idiots and at that time, I was very ignorant about the care of buns. So after much research, I determined that nothing should be alone, pairs are better (goes for anything really, dogs, cats, etc.) so off we go on a wild advenure with Heartland to find Bilbo a wife. Jeannie can relate the wonderful stories of bonding. My poor little baby was even "B*tch slapped"! I was losing all hope. Then we found a spark of hope, our darlin' Abigail. After buns in a bucket going for a car ride with them coming home completely covered in urine to Abigail trying to thump him away with his very vigorous "humpty dumpty" sessions, we finally, after a couple of months, achieved success. What an adventure. My little boy has a wife! After a recent vet visit, Bilbo weighed in at 2.5 pounds. Abigail's weight isn't listed. Could it be that she refused to get on the scales and takes after her Mother-In-Law?

Abigail

Abigail (Abber Dabber Doo, Abs, Babbie) is the new bride of our son Bilbo, a Netherland Dwarf Rabbit. Abby is a rescued gorgeous Holland Lop. Bilbo (Buster, Butter Butt) was extremely lonesone and after many attempts at finding a bride decided that he loved Abby only the feeling wasn't quite mutual, yet. Herein lies the "peanut butter" saga. Once the PB was applied to Bilbo's forehead, Miss Abby proceeded to "groom" the peanut butter from Bilbo's head. It was then a love affair. He is ever so happy to have a new bride and Abby is happy as long as her Mother-In-Law (ME!) keeps her hands off of him. Should that occur, she diligently proceeds to groom him until all traces of the wicked witch is gone. She loves to be held and sang to but resists every attempt at being caught. She is a darling and has made an excellent addition to our family. Heartland, and especially Bunny Sister Jeannie have changed two little bunny's lives and we will eternally be grateful for their help and support.
