Christmas Bunny

Maddie REALLY wanted a rabbit for Christmas. So much so that I had to yell at her to stop talking about it! She would follow me around telling me all about this rabbit she found in a shelter that would be put to sleep soon if she wasn't adopted. I told Maddie not to worry, someone would probably adopt her. Well, nobody did. Maddie knew this because she would email them everyday. Then, Jon says that it would be okay to get a rabbit. WHAT?! I knew once Maddie heard that we were doomed. I decided if Maddie could convince the boys to get rid of their lizards and she would share her rabbit with them then maybe we would get the rabbit. The boys agreed right away. WHAT? The boys were getting very tired of feeding them crickets everyday and so was I. So, Jon and Maddie drove to the shelter to get the rabbit. When Maddie walked in and asked about Daisy the rabbit, the lady said, "Are you Maddie?"

 Maddie's room is turning into a rabbit cage. Daisy is good at hopping into her cage to go to the bathroom and then playing in Maddie's room all day while she's at school. If you roll a ball in front of her she dives towards it and bats it away. I don't know if she likes playing ball or if it makes her really mad. Maddie is really good at cleaning her cage often and giving her lots of lettuce and carrots and apples and cardboard. Rabbits can pretty much eat anything. She's pretty cute.
