Bunny and Dog Bonding

Both dog and buns know that I'm in charge during our bonding sessions. Reese has fully understood that she isn't allowed to bark or whine loudly at the bunnies. The buns know that they're really in charge.

We've had multiple bonding sessions over the past few days. Reese has done exceptionally well and I do believe that I might have three bunnies very soon :) Darcy and Reese have accepted each other; it is clear by his behavior that Darcy believes he is the Alpha Bun and Reese should do what he says. They sniff and circle each other until Darcy gets bored and he jumps off. Reese isn't allowed control over the situation, so she can't follow. The only agression we've seen is from Darcy and it takes the form of a lunge towards Reese.

Charlotte is a completely different issue. She moves fast and has no desire to get close to the doggie. Of course, because of her quick movements, Reese wants to play with her even more. Needless to say, they've had no interactions in our bonding sessions.

Right now the buns are napping under the blue chair and Reese is laying down looking at the chair, begging them to come out and play. It's pretty darn cute!
