The Great Puddles

Puddles is a rabbit that has been with me for about 3 years. He is kind, sweet, and full of love. I wanted to write on how I got him and what I did to do so, the pros and cons, and the experience in general. When I was in fourth grade there was a pet rabbit named Serious Ash Black. At the time I had always wanted a dog, but I had not been against the idea of a bunny. I knew from the experience of not getting a dog, that this mission of mine was not going to be easy. Mind you that my first pet was a fish and my parents did not let me get one, so for my birthday a fish (jerry) was given to me by my aunt. Then I am sure you know about the "viking ceremony". Back to the story, Serious the bunny was a ball of joy and was hopping around the classroom while fourth graders were off to work. My plan to get a bunny was to interview my teacher about what I should know about rabbits beforegetting one. She always had a rabbit in the classroom, she was in love with these furry friends. That interview was very helpful, I did that about three or four times that year. I may have seemed a bit odd but I was a very dedicated 9 year old. It did not stop there, I was cleaning the rabbit's cage every time it had to be cleaned to "practice" for when I have my own. Then by the time I was 10, after meaningful talks with my mom, lots of hard work, and many interviews later. I was allowed to start searching for my furry friend. I went on craigslist and searched for a month or two. When I got really excited I used to run downstairs and go on the family computer and go on my search. I stumbled upon this person with many cute baby bunnies for sale, but they wanted to meet at their home and for my mom that was a bit too risky, I understood and for myself I also did not want to be put in that position. We kept searching and found the glorious Jessica. She wanted to meet at a park and had two baby bunnies a father and a mom. Puddles' mom was a bit lazy, she had a little bunny hammock so the babies could not bother her. But the dad was the care taker. We meet Puddles, his brother, and their dad. A very cute family. The second I saw Puddles, I knew he was mine (he was also the only one in his family that was for sale, but that is not the point). I saw him, I learned a ton about bunnies when meeting him and I knew he was the one. Here is me meeting Puddles for the first time.
As great as this was, we had to wait for him to be a bit bigger. Around two weeks later I came home from school and I saw that little goof ball in the kitchen. He was very shy at first but a few weeks later he was moved up to my room and then we got very close. I can get very anxious sometimes as many people do, and Puddles was always a big help when it came to when I was worried. 
Me and Puddles are very close now and he is very special to me. I love having him around and he is a great companion. Now. Now he is three, and everyday he is more special, more loved, and a better companion then the day before.

It has always been more of a pleasure to have Puddles. Thank you for letting me share my story of Puddles.
