Smooshy the Rabbit. Second Place in Pets Welcome Challenge.
Smooshy. We actually picked the name even before we were solid on the idea of getting a rabbit. I have been living with domestic rabbits since I was 5 years old, but my boy is another story. He was always a dog person, never even seen a rabbit in a close proximity before. So, it wasn't a surprise when I brought up a rabbit his first reaction was a sane confusion. Like 'what? those things that live in the bushes?' It took some time to explain the lifestyle, but after a year of living in LA without having a little furry friend, I couldn't wait any longer.

Things You Don't Know About Owning Rabbits
PETA reports that rabbits are the third-most abandoned animals in shelters. Owning rabbits is different than owning other domestic pets, such as a dog and cat. When adopting a rabbit, you need to take into consideration that rabbits require special shelter, extra attention, litter training, and more. A pet rabbit is not a commitment you should take lightly, however, they are a good pet for certain people who prefer a caged animal over a free one. As with any animal, there are many pros and cons of having a rabbit as a pet, so it's important to know all of the necessary information.

The Truth About Having a Pet Rabbit
I’ve always been one to advocate for adopt don’t shop. But sometimes, the inside of you twists your mind and heart into a knot. You see these animals behind a small glass box. Sometimes more than one in each, giving them just enough space to snuggle together to keep warm. You can't help yourself but want to take them out of that situation and give them the happiness they deserve. Other times, you walk into a pet store and your heart melts. You see these adorable fluffy, feather, or even scale-y animals that you just are dying to have to call your own, and to give a home to. Whatever the case may be, you do it. As did I. I was heading to get my eyebrows done with my boyfriend’s sister, who has also become a close friend. We arrived there way too early, stupidly not looking at what time the store opened, but saw a pet store across the street. “Oh! Let’s go in there!” I cried out, already using that voice we use when we talk to our pets. We walked in and were greeted by the friendly workers in the small shop and a bunny hoping around the store alongside a cat. Our eyes immediately drew to the bunnies and ferrets, the first two glass boxes to the left of us.

1 Rabbit, 2 Rabbit, 3 Rabbit... 6?!?
So one day my boyfriend goes to a pet store with a friend. He calls me and says I really want to get this bunny, it’s so sweet, and texts me a picture. After we both fall for this adorable fur ball, he finds out the bunny has been put on hold and is not available for sale. The following week, we decided to pay this pet store another visit to see if it had any more bunnies for sale. To our surprise they had a few including two Netherlands Dwarf rabbits that were 2-months-old. One male and one female. We had to have them! We purchased the whole shabang, large cage, bedding, food, Timothy hay house, food bowls, etc. As we drove home we decided on the name Marshall for the boy as we both love Eminem. After searching online I picked the name Lily for our girl Netherlands Dwarf. A few minutes after choosing both names I realized we named them Marshall and Lily like the couple on the popular TV sitcom How I Met your Mother. Although this was just a coincidence it was pretty cute and we decided to stay with the names. This was my first experience as a rabbit owner. As with any new project this day in age I hit the web to do some online research on how to best care for my new family members.
