Smiley

This is one big boy with a *BIG toothy grin*....literally.

Smiley first came to us a few months ago from a local shelter. They knew to call us as they had a rabbit that had tooth problems. As it so happens, SARS has 8 bunnies that regularly need their teeth clipped so it was all familiar to us and we knew what his needs would be.

Jan, one of our volunteers kindly offered to pick up the rabbit from the local shelter and meet us at the vets office where he'd have his teeth clipped. When I first met this new bunny with the bad teeth I thought, "boy does he have to grow into those ears".....he was a NZ white, obviously not fully grown since he looked like his ears were gong to tip him over. Then I saw his BIG TOOTHY GRIN....and instantly he was named Smiley.

The way his bottom teeth stuck out caused his lip to droop so it appeared that he was smiling.

After having been with us now for a few months and being about 3kg heavier, we'd say the name is absolutely perfect for him, bad teeth or not. Smiley is SUCH a character. He binkies every time you come into the room and runs up to be pet. He likes a good cuddle and will sit forever if he's being stroked. Everyone falls in love with him and says, "if only....I could adopt him". He is such a lovely spirit and always so happy.

As of today Smiley is till looking for his forever home but because he is so special - he will only be adopted to someone equally as special.
