Coco the Rabbit

There's an animal rescue on base called PAWS (Pets are worth saving) that we went to check out.  They had a lot of cats, 2 turtles, and a rabbit.  We fell in love with the rabbit!  (We had rabbits before we left Oklahoma, but couldnt bring them with us, and since Trystian was devistated that we had to find his bunnies new homes, I felt horrible for taking his pets away!)

I filled out the adoption application and we went home.  After the board had decided we could adopt the rabbit, they called us and then our whole family jumped into the car to pick him up.  His name was Rue, but Trystian changed his name to Coco.


The first thing we did was go to the Homac off base to get bunny food and some supplies (as they dont sell any of that on base), and to the Daiso.

The Homac is a store much like Lowes or Home Depot in the states.  They have a lot of pet stuff including fish of many kinds.  I was able to get some wood for the rabbit's new home, as well as carpeting for the different levels. 

The Daiso was the next stop.  This is one of my favorite places!  It's like the Dollar Tree back in the states.  It's the 100 Yen store.  Most everything in the store is 100 Yen, but they do have some things that are 300 and 500 Yen...  We were able to get these metal Grids that will be the base and build of the Rabbit Condo as well as zip ties, decorations, chiew toys, and treats.  While we were there, I picked up some house stuff like cleaning supplies for the house and kitchenware like spatulas, graters, and cutting boards.  It's easy to spend a lot of money in there, becasue everything is so "cheap" all you think when you put it in the cart is 'Oh it's just 100 Yen'... 

The kids love the rabbit, and Coco is settling in nicely too!  Trystian is excited he has a bunny to care for again!  This makes me happy!
