Happy Birthday, Simon!

Simon fit just inside the palm of our hands when we first got him. Now, he is just a big black furball with a silver belly. Josh found him being sold by a child who didn't want him anymore in front of Safeway for $10. Josh couldn't bear to think of the baby bunny being bought by impulse and ending up in a terrible home or sold to a lab or sold for fur. So after getting groceries, Josh took him home. We're so happy we have him; he is the sweetest little guy and always happy to give kisses. Happy 6th birthday, baby boy!

Before getting a rabbit as a pet, please do your research to make sure that a rabbit is the pet for you. They are very fragile, sensitive and complex animals and it's important to educate yourself before getting one, as with any animal. It's also very important to take your rabbit to a rabbit-savvy veterinarian to get proper care. Log on to the House Rabbit Society for helpful information.

Happy Easter

...from my very own Easter Bunnies - Simon, Oreo, Sydney and Patrick. May you have plenty of Easter eggs in your basket today!

Adopt A Rabbit Month!

I recently got an email from the House Rabbit Society announcing that February is "Adopt A Rabbit" month. When we used to live in San Francisco, Josh and I volunteered at the House Rabbit Society headquarters and volunteered regularly at Rabbit Row at the Alameda Animal Shelter. As a result, our family grew from two in a household to 10. Here are our furry kids (8 total) adopted from various animal shelters (some of which are also featured on the Rabbit Row website). They've given us so much joy over the years. Sadly, Chester, Max, Walnut and Pepper have gone on to Rainbow Bridge. We miss them very much.
