kids + zoo = pet

Kire has been asking for a pet for awhile, so we took the boys to the zoo this week to expose them to some animals, so we wouldn't have to buy one.

They had a great time at the zoo, but Kire still wanted a pet of his own.
2 years ago we got Kire a bunny, Bink. Unfortunatly he was exposed to a little too much sun and died. Then last year our dog, Kuma, ran out into the road and killed himself. We've also had some fish and frogs that haven't lasted very long.
We've been telling him that we will get another pet when Jack gets older. I wouldn't mind getting another dog, but I'd like to wait until we're done having kids because I don't like them around babies.
I started looking on ksl, classified ads, and showed a few different animals to Kire. He wanted another bunny, and since we already had a cage & food, I decided why not? (he said when the bunny dies he wants a goat, and when the goat dies he wants a dog)

He wanted to name her fluffy, I talked him into FUz instead, it sounds a little cooler.
She's a baby lionhead, and the boys adore it. Kire even follows it around and picks up the poo.

Darling Bunny call me when you get home so we can come and visit. Eric told me I better check on him every couple of days while you are gone to make sure they are still alive!!

That is a CUTE rabbit, not as cute as the kid holding it though. Let's hang out sometime this summer. Meet up in SLC for some fun with the kids?

Our next pet will be another ferret or maybe a prarie dog. We are fine with our cat and chickens for now.

Oh boy, I can't believe I haven't heard Kaitlyn complaining yet that you guys have yet another pet and we still have nothing. I'm just grateful that my neighbor's have pets for my kids to play with! :)
