House Hunting

   

These pictures are some of the last, I have of Xander. He looks really cute and pretty - as always.
I like how the layout came togehter. Played around with some new paper and I think it came together really nice!
The journaling is not so much about Xander as it is about the fact that while we were house hunting, he passed away and never got to live in our new house...

Journaling:

• English version:
  In the fall of 2005 Peder and I was desperately trying to find a house. We also looked for houses where Xander could have a good life. I don't know exactly how many we looked at - not that many, 4 I think incl. the one we ended buying.
  Xander also helped choosing - or at least rip the sales papers and get some fun from it. Unfortunately was that all he got from the house-choosing. He never got to livein the house or just see it. Peder and I had talked about how to secure the staircase so he wouldn't fall through it but it didn't got necessary to bunny proof my first house.
  The question is if it ever gets necessary. I miss having small sweet bunnies in the house but I only want bunnies in a way that gives them the possibility to be free and happy and express their individual personalities - and I have a hard time seeing how that can work with a cair terrier in the house...

• Danish version:
  I efteråret 2005 ledte Peder og jeg desperat efter huse. Vi ledte også efter huse, hvor Xander kunne have et godt liv i. Jeg ved ikke helt, hvor mange vi så på – egentlig ikke så mange, vist kun 4 inkl. det på Silkehalevej, vi endte med at købe.
  Xander hjalp også med udvælgelsen – eller i hvert fald med at flå salgsopstillingerne fra husene og få noget sjov ud af det. Desværre var det alt det sjove, han fik ud af hus-udvælgelsen. Han nåede aldrig at bo i huset eller bare at se det. Peder og jeg havde ellers talt om, hvordan vi skulle sikre trappen, så han ikke faldt igennem tremmerne, men det blev ikke nødvendigt at kanin-sikre mit første hus.
  Og spørgsmålet er, om det nogensinde bliver nødvendigt. Jeg savner at have små blide kaniner i huset, men jeg vil kun have kaniner på en måde, der giver dem frihed og mulighed for at være glade og udtrykke deres individuelle personligheder – og jeg har svært ved at se, hvordan det kan forenes med en cairn terrier…
