Introducing Binx ~

Let me introduce to you our bundle of love

and the new addition to our home and family.

This is our handsome Binx ~

He is our fourth pet rabbit since way back

in 1995 when we first brought a rabbit into our home believing he was going

to be a 4-H project for our youngest daughter Stephanie, only to find out

that Snuffles would become our first pet rabbit who would pave the way

and brand our hearts forever of the joy and love that a rabbit can bring

when you choose to teach them and train them like any other house pet.

Each of our pet rabbits, Snuffles ~ Snoopy ~ Lakota ~ and now Binx 

have all been unique with their own individual personalities

and our hearts have been captured forever more.

☆☆☆☆

You will notice in the photos that Binx may look either a grey color or chocolate brown.
It may be due to the lighting or the fact that the tips
of his fur is chocolate brown and underneath he is grey in color.
One thing is for certain, he is GORGEOUS!

I knew the minute I laid my eyes on Binx he was the one,

in fact, out of 10 male bunnies he was the only one I held, I wasn't letting him go.

Normally it is my husband who does the choosing,

but for certain, Binx was the one.

Binx enjoyed being held and cuddled from the very beginning.

That hasn't always been the norm with our other three rabbits,

it took time for them to warm up to us.
Toby, our cat, has taken upon himself the place of a father figure
and looks over Binx with such care and concern.
This is Toby's third bunny.

Binx has been the only rabbit we have owned who loves,

and I mean loves, to stretch out with ease and comfort.

He allows us to pet him while he is stretched out, 
never hopping to his feet uncertain of his safety.

From the back view he resembles a beaver, quite cute I must say,

I think it's because his tail is fluffier than normal.

He has HUGE back feet along with his fluffy tail

making it appear to look like a beaver.

But that's okay, we love him just the way he is because we know that

 God created him to be exactly how He wanted him to be.

Binx loves the out doors and runs and plays in our back yard

(with my husband's supervision)

with great delight kicking up his heals doing binky after binky. 

They say a rabbit is a happy rabbit if he does binkys,

and so ~ Binx was given his name because of all the binkys he does.

My husband has taught Binx to come when called for his treats.

His command is "treat time".

Unlike any of our other rabbits, Binx gives great eye contact 

and seems to enjoy looking at you whenever you speak to him.

His eyes are so alive and aware of everything going on around him.

After having three other rabbits we believe that Binx

is more alert, attentive, loving and more playful

than all the others.

Oh, we have certainly loved each rabbit to the moon and back,

but this dear Binx has warmed our hearts in a special way.

He may very well be our last as we are not getting any younger

and they have each given us long lives, with the exception of Snuffles,

so just maybe, Binx will have all the wonderful qualities

that make for one fantastic bundle of enjoyment for a very long time.

Plus, the lady whom we have purchased all of our bunnies from

is planning to retire.

~ An update on mom ~
Mom has been in Rehab for 10 days now and is doing exceptionally well!
Through every stage of this heart attack mom has been my trooper.
The goodness of God has been ever present in these many days
and my heart is filled with much gratitude and praise.
Do you have days when your heart sings unto the Lord profusely?
There is uncontrollable joy within that cannot be contained.
Mom has crossed many bridges while we as her loved ones have stood by watching,
and I cannot help but sing a new song unto the Lord.
"And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:
many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord."
~ Psalm 40:3 ~
I will continue keeping my eyes upon Jesus,
knowing with confidence that my God is able to do exceeding abundantly 
above all that I ask or think according to the riches of his glory.
"Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God,
for unto thee will I pray.
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord;
in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee,
and will look up."
~ Psalm 5:1-3 ~
I love the last of that verse, "and will look up".
God is hearing and answering our prayers, dear friends,
and He has been faithful in accomplishing His will.
Keep looking up and waiting with great anticipation
of happier and heart healthy days ahead for mom.

"Saying Amen: Blessing and glory, and wisdom,
and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might,
be unto our God forever and ever."
Amen

Praising God!
