We knew within days that we couldn't stand to have a house without rabbits. And since little Noot was an impossible act to follow, we decided we'd have better odds with two.

Meet the spayed sisters: Boeing [7+lbs] and Squeeze [5lbs]. Boeing doesn't give kisses; Squeeze does. Boeing often enjoys being held and cuddled; Squeeze will rip your lips off if you try. Both of them are very fond of their pellets, but have recently decided that vegetables hold no appeal to them. Perhaps when the grape leaves are fresh from the backyard again, they'll go green.

We've never had two bunnies at one time, and watching them take care of each other is a pleasure we'd only imagined. They are immaculately clean, because they're always grooming each other. Like sisters, sometimes they cuddle, sometimes they can't be far enough away from each other. Who needs tv?

If you want to adopt a bunny, visit the House Rabbit Society and find a local chapter in your area. They always have beautiful rabbits in foster care that need permanent, loving homes.

Oh, and if you adopt an angora, you can knit a sweater from your bunny's cast-off fur! There's an article in that, isn't there?
