Bunny 101 Aug 4 2013 Results

Hi all,

 

Dana Karen and Lindsey Boatright did not show up today. I believe Lindsey was interested in fostering in case Shelley wants to check in with her. 

 

Angela Sansone and daughter Katie came. Katie is volunteering at the center and they just wanted to learn more about caring for rabbits. They are not looking to adopt. 

 

John Bradner and his wife came. They were not sure about getting a rabbit, but at the end they said they were planning to put in an application to adopt a pair. They currently rent, so they were going to check with their landlord, but they didn't think it would be a problem. They seemed very nice and we had a short chat after class. I liked them, so watch for their application and we'll go from there. They have no children and no other pets.

 

Felicia Guest showed up quite late. She indicated that she wanted to adopt Rosalee, but when she came in, she brought a young rabbit with her. She said that someone at church was looking to get rid of their rabbit. Since she was coming to the rescue, she thought she might bring the rabbit to us. After we explained that we could not take the rabbit, she agreed that she would keep the rabbit herself. We did  a quick exam of the bunny, who seemed to be a healthy little girl. Felicia should be able to spay her soon and we suggested she work with Dr. Colby's low cost spay/neuter. Because she showed up rather late, I expected to bring her up to speed after class. Luckily, Natalie was at the center and she took over with Felicia providing the part of  Bunny 101 she had missed while I chatted with the Bradners. I believe she bought a few things for her new rabbit (Cottonball) including an x-pen. Perhaps she'll come back for a buddy. She seemed very nice. She has an application which we might want to keep on file in the event she wants to adopt another bun.

 

Marjory Mannion came with her daughter Morgan. Morgan was very sweet and her mom said she is great with the neutered ND that they have. The two are quite bonded. They came to learn more about their rabbit and purchased some things from the store. I don't think they want a second rabbit, but I think they will use us a resource for their bunny. Thank heavens Edie and Kim were there as well as Natalie to help with purchases. Stephanie and Zach were out, so it was good that others were there. I am useless on the computer! I didn't get to talk to the Mannions outside of class, but I think they learned a lot and asked a few questions during class.

 

Sarah Masoero (not sure of that spelling) did a bonding with Edie before class. Sarah stayed for Bunny 101. Her bunny seemed to have a successful first meeting with Raffa, so she took them home together. Fingers crossed that the bonding is a good one!

 

Brooke Pat also did a bonding with Edie while class was going on. She had a successful meeting with Miss Chicago, so those two buns went home together as well. We'll hope this bonding takes!  Brooke had already taken Bunny 101 with Edie, so she didn't need to join the class.

 

So, all in all, we had two bonding adoptions today and one couple who will be looking for a pair of rabbits. A successful day! Everyone say a prayer that the two bondings stick!!!
