Two Hunnyz Rabbitry

On June 28, 2009, Greer joined our homestead family. She was born to Tanner and Haylie in Lynnwood, WA, at Glimmercroft Farm. Although she was a gleam in our eyes, her arrival came quite unexpectedly.

We thought Spring of 2010 would be the right time for a puppy. With our move to NE Washington planned for around then, we knew we'd need another dog (an ES was a must) to form a team with Eoin for predator control and such, but we were going to wait until our house actually sold. What we didn't quite think through is the fact that getting a new puppy in the midst of packing, moving, and building our new house,would be a really, really bad idea. Not to mention the fact that a small pup wouldn't even be able to help Eoin. We just didn't realize these things until this sweet little puppy came available right near home. Which was another bonus... no cost or stress of shipping. Everything definitely came together to get this little girl.

Her owner, Laura Workman, did have a buyer for her. However, when it came time to arrange payment and pick-up, the people were no where to be found. So she listed the puppy for sale on a homesteading forum I frequent. I saw the ad and actually replied 'oh how adorable, wish we could take her, not ready', blah, blah. Then, with the encouragement of a friend,    I began to think about it seriously and with Tom's approval, inquired after her. Come to find out, she has the exact bloodlines we wanted. In the future, we hope to breed Eoin and Greer so bloodlines is a very important consideration. These lines are old ones in need of continual preservation due to working ability. In fact, Ruth, the breeder we got Eoin from, recommended trying to find a pup from a breeding to a dog named Cash, who we now know is Greer's Uncle, and would have loved to have a pup herself from Greer's lineage, if she only needed another dog. That spoke volumes to us, Ruth is our ES mentor! We jumped at the chance and here she is at my feet, our little Greer Girl.

Greer is a Tri-color, meaning she has markings comprised of black, tan, and white. I just love the markings of this little girl, she is the prettiest Tri I've ever seen! And, yes, she does have us wrapped around her little paws, with a face like that what else would you, could you, expect! Greer is sweet as pie, submissive, biddable. When playing she's a real spit-fire, Eoin has his paws full with her! She jumps on his head and back, biting with those sharp puppy teeth, growling, yipping, barking. It's the cutest when she crouches down in the play stance, chin on the ground and verbally tries to entice Eoin to play! I will get a video of it. (I finally learned to operate all features on the digital camera we got when Eoin first came here). Here she is ~ ~ ~
