Katrin Acou-Bouaziz, journalist for parents, tells us with humor and tenderness how a rabbit burst into the life of his family ... story.
Mother of three children (12, 7 and 2 years old), our journalist Katrin Acou-Bouaziz shares her colorful daily.Today, the adoption of the rabbit on the right corner.
Said like that, I can't believe it myself.However, she, she, since it is a rabbit, has just nibbled on my new pair of pumps placed in the living room.A story of a crack that I do not regret (or little).
At the start, there is a urge, pressing, insistent elders to have an animal, "Steupit Mom !!"Then a promise formulated during the pregnancy of the third, as if to console the greats of the situation that delights them as much as she worries them:" Ok ok, we will buy an animal after the birth of the little one ".Cheers.
Then there is a choice ... The cat is quickly eliminated due to allergy.The dog would lack space.The turtle seems cold and distant to us.The hens could disturb the neighbors.At this point, children get carried away for a guinea pig.Yes, it's cute a guinea pig but it lacks madness, we would like a creature that runs in the garden and puts the atmosphere.Even if with three kids, it is not the noise and the disorder that are lacking.

I do not know how much the idea ends up germinating in my teased brain confused by fatigue, but I suddenly think of a rabbit.The experience told by a neighbor probably conquered.The prospect of a pet that lives "in the garden" I also admit.Except that after a few calls in pet stores, I become an expert.And they can't stand the cold, unless you invest in a 15 kg farm rabbit.No relation to that of Princess Sofia ...
My lover, pugnacious, then looks for a dwarf or maous model.Garden centers are nothing like it.In short, we decide to do as for furniture and seek on the right corner.Bingo.A list of rabbits is displayed near us.After validation of each family member, Caramel is the subject of a tract by email, then by telephone.We almost have a job interview before the saleswoman gives us her address.We are finally tried worthy of the animal, serious, informed, kind.

A week later, the children and their father will seek caramel. A colleague gives us a cage.We buy food and straw.Caramel must live indoors at the start.That is.He will make his droppings in his litter very quickly if we put them back in the first days.That is.Caramel is crossed angora ram.His hairs are therefore ruffled like those of a grandmother upon waking up.That is.Children jump with happiness by imitating their boyfriend.The animal even calms the atmosphere because it is necessary to "be careful", "take care", "observe" but do not dream, I see you, no animal, even the most owl prevents anger and whims.
Very quickly we leave the cage open ... we even end up removing it.The rabbit wanders.Only the kitchen and the office are prohibited.She listens to us.She eats our peelings.She leaps on the carpet while you do yoga.She climbs on the sofa to hugs during the film.We head it, we caress it, we take it out.His hutch, made by Papi for sunny days, awaits him.But I doubt that she spends the night there as we got used to her presence, folded ears and so sweet gaze.

Sometimes it’s rewarf.There are pee accidents, droppings near the litter.You have to buy your food, find a loved one to keep it during the holidays.The little one pulls his ears or tail in sadistic mode.You can't let flow breaded beads or pieces of chicken on the tiles.Our magazines are nibbles, our charger sons must remain hidden, the vacuum cleaner is filled with straw ...
To believe that we like to add constraints.Unless it is tenderness, pretty, heat that emerges from its coat?And offers us a little piece of nature to contemplate and cherish all together ... And that is the side effect of the pet: you become as gaga as with a newborn baby.
