out of his shell..er, cage

So I think Jake, our rabbit, has finally decided he likes us. He really truly likes us. A while back I put a small rug outside of his cage door so he could hop out without slipping on the vinyl flooring. He liked his rug a lot, and would hop in and out of his cage, but rarely leave the rug. So on Monday I bought him a LONGER rug (a 6' x 2' runner-type) and put it outside his cage. Thinking that if nothing else, he now had a bit more room that he felt comfortable hopping around on. Well, give him an inch and he takes a mile! He has now decided that he looooves hopping around the family room (adjacent to the kitchen and a few feet away from his cage. He hops around, up on the sofas, under the ottoman, on Daisy's bed, everywhere! And tonight he has, several times, turned into a rabbit blob due to ecstasy while we've been scritching his head.

We're pretty happy that he has decided to officially join the family now.

The thought of a rabbit hopping around your house just totally fits. I can't believe it took him so long to feel comfortable there.

Sorry, I accidentally hit "publish" before I was done.

Your home is so comfortable and welcoming to animals and humans alike. It's just funny that it took a longer rug to bring him out of his shell, er, cage.
