Happy Birthday, Pookie!

Pookie joined our family one year ago this weekend. Although we do not know her "real" birthday, we've decided to count from when we adopted her. She was approximately a year old when we got her, so we'll count today as her 2nd birthday.

Pookie's come a long way this past year. She had a rough childhood (bunnyhood, I guess you'd say), and began her life in a crowded shed with tons of other rabbits before being rescued. (For an article about the rescue, click here) It took her a long time to warm up to us; in the beginning she'd only let us pet her if we were feeding her, but eventually she learned that she likes affection from us.

We love having Pookie in our family. Some of our favorite things about her are:

-watching her race around the living room and do binkies

-watching her wash her ears

-the way her ears can turn independently of one another, like when she's eavesdropping

-how curious and inquisitive she is

-seeing how excited she is to get food or treats

-petting her and hearing her purr, if we're lucky

For Pookie's birthday, we let her have one of her favorite treats, a carrot! And, we're also giving her a new wicker ball to chew on. We love you, Pookie!
