Number 16: Adopt A Pet

On April 7, 2011, I received the following email from my roommate:

One of my co-workers found an adorable teeny little white bunny in the gutter eating a newspaper. She brought it home and is trying to find a loving home to give it to. Apparently it was a pet before someone threw it out (idk how she knows...). It comes with a cage.

CAN WE KEEP HIM PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAASE!?!?!?

*pulls on heart strings*

*num num num!*

On April 10, 2011, Olivia Annie Benson moved into our living room.

She looks like this:


This was one of the items on the list that I thought we would never complete, but here we are almost two months later, the proud mommies of the cutest little bunny you've ever seen. And she (like most pets) rules the house. We haven't quite gotten her to do her chores yet but we did have a serious conversation tonight about keeping the litter inside the litter box instead of kicking it all over the floor. We'll see how that goes. Olivia has definitely been a great little addition to our team. She enjoys eating the slipcovers on our couch, carrots, and trying to sneak into the kitchen. Stay tuned, she's got a web series in the works. First episode? Olivia hands over the remote. Can't get that girl off Extreme Couponing. (If anyone thinks I'm kidding, definitely keep an eye out for the whole clan on youtube.)
