Happy Birthday Patrick O'Douley!

In October 1999, an abandoned little bunny was found wandering the streets in the Bay Area. The kind person who found him named him Cornelius and took him to Rabbit Row so that he could find a good home. At the time, Rabbit Row was filled to capacity with shelter rabbits, and being volunteers and fosterers, Josh and I took Cornelius in for a little while until space opened up again. Even though Cornelius stayed with us for only a week, we had grown attached to him. It wasn’t the right time to adopt another rabbit since we already had 4 in our tiny apartment. Five months later, as little Cornelius was still waiting to be adopted, luck was on our side. We were able to move to a bigger place and have room for a bunny addition!

No one really knows how old he is, so we just celebrate his birthday around the time we adopted him, on March 17 - St. Patrick's Day. We also changed his name and added a last name too! Patrick O'Douley became bonded friends with two of our other bunnies, Pepper and Oreo.
