| Tonka (left) and Lulu (right) snuggling on a summer day |
A picture is worth a thousand words! This was taken yesterday in one of our foster homes and we just had to share! Please don't laugh at Tonka's coat...they're in grooming season and Tonka HATES being groomed!
If you haven't been to our Petfinder site for a while, you should take the time to refresh yourself on the story of Lulu and Tonka, especially if you haven't read it before. Both were rescued from the same kill shelter within months of one another and were even there overlapping at some point since Lulu had been a return adoption there! It's possible that this is when their love blossomed, but soon after they were separated to go their different ways. They ended up eventually both being rescued by Hug-a-Bunny and were at the same foster home several times (Lulu moves around twice before landing back in her current foster home) and they eventually had the chance for love! The two of them tried to tell us every way they could that they loved each other, but no one here speaks "rabbit." So, they forced themselves against their enclosures to lay side by side through the bars to show their human caretakers they wanted to be together. They immediately became a pair and have groomed each other from the first minute (which is something Tonka, on the right, obviously needs in a mate) have been a bonded pair for years, looking for a home together where they can have plenty of room to run and play. Tonka is now a senior man and has a little bit of trouble seeing (he's about 10 or 11 years old now, based on our calculations) but that doesn't stop him or Lulu from playing, snuggling, and enjoying life. They have been a bonded pair for over two years, and will spend the rest of their lives side by side, just like in this picture! For as long as it takes for these two lovebirds to find a home, they're safe with us...and each other! :)
