For my first pet of the week, I decided to do Noah and Trini. They are a very bonded pair of mini rex bunnies. Noah is not doing so well which is why I decided to do these 2 first.
Jammin's Noah is a blue Mini Rex. He was born April 11, 2004 at JAMmin' Rabbitry. My friend, Katy, was his first owner. She purchased him as a young jr for show. He did very well for her earning no less then 4 GC legs. He is a very pretty boy, even now that he is older and slower. Noah came to live with me about 2 1/2 years ago after Katy had gone to college. He went through a 30 day QT period, was neutered, and then introduced to a spayed Trini. The two hit it off and have been happily married ever since. Noah is not doing well health wise. He has had 2 surgeries to have tumors removed. He has a 3rd inoperable tumor near his brain under his eye. He is now blind in that eye. Still full of life the vet assures me he is not in any pain. First sign of pain I know it will be time to let my beautiful boy go.
Little Rascal's Trini, aka Miss Trini Bo Beanie is a black/orange tri Mini Rex. She was born the summer of 2003 making her 8 years old. She was born at Little Rascal's Rabbitry in Eureka CA. My friend Nicole, whom no longer breeds or even owns bunnies, had a litter of bunnies out of 2 rabbits I held for her for a while. She offered me a baby. I was reluctant at first as I was never a huge fan of Mini Rex. Trini changed my mind. I fell in love with her at first site and we have spent many amazing years together. She was shown a few times, even picked up a leg, but was always intended to be a pet. She's not showing her age at all, possibly because she was fixed at such a young age.
Trini and Noah are an elderly couple but still play with their toys. They do sleep more then the other bunnies, and typically like to park themselves in a corner during floor time and cuddle.
Next week's pet of the month will be: Bumble Bee, my 26 month old ratty boy =)
