The love of my life


Meet Scruffy, a lion-head lop bought from a local pet shop by my sister more than a year ago. He's a real sweetheart with a great personality! I decided to take over his care when my sister could not provide him with enough attention and he has given us much joy since! This is him sound asleep. =)



Here we have the lovebirds (or lovebuns)- Chewy (grey) and Alfonso (black). We adopted Chewy from an animal shelter in Michigan about 5 years ago. Wanted to name her Corey initially but changed our minds when she started chewing up our apartment furniture! Brought her back with us when we had to return to Singapore and was glad she made the trip! A real hardy girl and very poise at the same time! Love her to bits!

Alfonso was adopted in Singapore from a friend who decided to breed her bunnies and then give them all up for adoption. We picked Alfonso because he stood out from the rest of his siblings. He was the only black bunny despite the fact that his parents were both white and brown and he had splay legs. He doesn't warm up as easily to us but I am glad he bonded well with Chewy and it is so cute to see them so lovey dovey together! Aww...
If you look closely enough, you will notice that he is missing a ear. We discovered a lump on his ear sometime early this year and it turned out to be malignant melanoma. The poor bun had to undergo two surgeries to have his tumor excised. He recovered amazingly well and we are keeping our fingers crossed that he will continue to lead a healthy life together with the love of his life! =)

So there...my three lovely bunnies. They who keep me sane. =)

Haha! They can be quite a nightmare too. I had quite a few phone wires bitten through and almost all my wires at home have bitemarks on them! =)
