Cottontail Cottage

The Cottontail Cottage originally belonged to Trouble, who regularly played in it and occasionally used it as a comfy spot for a nap. We introduced it to Brayden after we'd had him for a few months. He didn't play with it as often as Trouble did, but he enjoyed climbing to the top and surveying his territory. About a month ago, I brought the Cottontail Cottage into Tulip and Brayden's shared territory. Brayden remembered it and went racing to the top while Tulip watched him carefully. She checked it out cautiously and soon was enjoying all the levels... as well as jumping in and out of the second story windows. It's adorable. 

Unfortunately, about a week after introducing the Cottontail Cottage, the buns had a fight. We think the Cottage might have played a role in that. Our best guess is that Brayden was relaxing on the second floor when Tulip jumped in through a window and startled him, leading to him snapping, and her reacting, and both of them trapped in a small place not knowing what was going on. 

Fortunately, the bunnies' bond was not broken and there have been no further problems. But now they only use the Cottage with close supervision.

The inspiration for this layout design is from a National Scrapbook Day challenge called 'Old Glory.' We had two choices: 1) Make a layout that is entirely red, white, and blue but does not have stars or stripes; or 2): Make a layout with stars and stripes, but do not use any red, white, or blue. Obviously, I chose the second option. It was a fun challenge and I really like how the page turned out.
