        After some waffling, I dragged my boyfriend back to the adoption center today and we spent about 2 hours trying to get the bunny. And we succeeded!! He is currently settling down in his new cage at home, I am resisting the urge to bother him every two seconds so he can find some peace and quiet.

        Pippin is now confined to his own cage, and the slow acclimation-to-bonding road is begun! He keeps looking over at the other cage, but it’s several feet away, so I don’t think he is sure what is going on yet.

        Haven’t got any photos of the new bun (name still undecided–trying to fit with my hobbit-themed names, possibly going with Bilbo or Brandybuck) at home, but I did take some at the center. He is a Harlequin mix, ~2 years old and somewhere between 4 and 5 lbs. Very friendly and sweet!

                          I got to spend some time with him this afternoon. He’s a little unsure about me, but in general seems to be friendly and inquisitive. He found the pocket where the raisins were fast enough! Still no name…tried Bilbo on but ended up not suiting him, so ehhhh. About to go research Hobbit names (again!) until I find one!!

                                I think he looks most like Legolas, but Hobbit would actually be a cute name itself.

                                        You could name him Odo! (Odo Proudfoot)
                                        It works out great, because not only is it a LotR reference, it’s StarTrek, too! He’s so cute, and he looks like he’s the type that will “melt” once he runs out of energy.

                                          He’s lovely!

                                          I also think he looks like Legolas.

                                            Call him Kili, after the hot dwarf in the movie, since your boy is so handsome.

                                              I vote Legolas, and I can assure you it has nothing to do with my marathon watching the Hobbit and LOTR movies for the last 3 days!

                                                I’ve never heard Kili referred to as the hot dwarf!

                                                  Thanks, everyone! I am glad you all appreciate the powerful cuteness of my newest guy. I can already tell he is going to be spoiled rotten!

                                                  Haha, I have considered both Legolas and Odo, actually!

                                                  And the current frontrunner is, in fact, Fíli. We shall see if it stick, I’m still kind of mentally set on a Hobbit name.

                                                      JR: He wasn’t referred to as the hot dwarf. hehe but he is referred as a bit taller than the others and handsome one…  although to me fili is more adorable (if I had to choose between the brothers)

                                                            Pretty sure he is the hot dwarf.
