Sorry guys I haven't been here in a while, I was too busy with everything around the rabbit and then with the preparations for my birthday and then with various other things.
First of all, thanks Terminator and Geoff for the birthday congrats
, I'll post some pics and movies here if I ever get them myself that is. The cameraman was my friend's girlfriend, and they still haven't sent them to me - it seems whenever someone else takes some pics I want I never get them. Getting a cable, connecting a camera / phone to a computer and e-mailing the pics appears to be an insurmountable challenge for most people, or they're just too lazy...
Secondly, as for the rabbit (and the ice-breaker) things didn't work out exactly as I planned (things never seem to work out like you plan in life, noticed that ?
).
According to my friend who's sister is the friend of the rabbit-lover girl she didn't want another rabbit because she got too emotionally attached to the last one and then missed him too much when he died
, so she didn't want to go through that again (at least that was what she claimed, maybe she just didn't have the time). So my ice-breaker went to the wind, and not even Latinandgreek's gracious offer of making dumplings for dinner couldn't save it (though I wasn't completely clear whether she was offering to make dumplings for me and the rabbit-girl or for me and herself at a dinner at her place
)...
As for the rabbit, seeing as that option failed, and I couldn't keep it, I had to think of a new solution. So basically, I gave the cute little white bunny
back to the old lady I got him from, BUT with a promise (or verbal contract if you will) that she would take care of him undefinitely for me, and wouldn't make a stew out of him but use him as breeding stock for future generations of bunnies, and that I could come and visit him whenever I wanted. So he wont be a spoiled pet and roam around free after all, but on the other hand he's with his family instead of being lonely, he'll spend the rest of his life well fed and taken care of in a relatively comfortable shack with a tiny yard in a village, and he'll father a new generation of bunnies which he couldn't do as a pet (and passing on one's genes is the whole point of life for any living being from nature's point of view). So I guess it's a happy end after all.
As for the pics Snake and others wanted, I took a bunch of pics and videos of the bunny while I had him, some of him exploring my house and nibbling on the potted plants, some of him grazing in the park and being petted by the local kiddies (and you just can't decide who's cuter, the kiddies or the bunny
) and some of him and his numerous family in his new / old home, and while I can't post them right now I promise you you will see them SOON and they will undoubtedly overload your cuteness-meters !
