Notes from a rescuer...

Friday, April 13, 2007

ahhh the easter blush is gone from the rabbit

it seems that people think that pets are a good gift.

THEY ARE NOT. one never knows how a person you know and love will bond with an animal. never ever give an animal as a gift without the recipient having met the animal and being "on board" with the gift.

I have rescued dogs, cats, birds, mice, gerbles, pigs - and now rabbits.

if you are looking for some good clean family entertainment, put 10 older adults out in a yard and have them catch a rabbit.

very entertaining.

tonight, after working all day at my real job of real estate sales and animal rescue, I headed home looking forward to taking care of my menagerie at home and then curling up with a cup of hot cocoa and the computer.

welllll. that ain't it kid.

got a call. a client of mine had some smart soul drop a rabbit in his front yard. full grown beautiful black rabbit.

he told me the rabbit was tame.

he told me you could walk right up to the rabbit and touch him.

he told me it would be a piece of cake.

he lied to me.

but it was fun nontheless.

we caught the rabbit. said rabbit is in a cat carrier on my nieces back porch with a bowl of water, a bunch of celery and several carrots. tomorrow we will search for a kind person with knowledge and experience in the care of rabbits (this is one time i don't want the rabbit to die - if you are of a certain age you will get the joke) and hopefully find a home for the rabbit.

You are an angel -- and congratulations on catching the bunny.

Pippa, a good place to go to for how to care for house rabbits is http://www.rabbit.org/. I've been a member of this organization in the past and can vouch for their knowledge and expertise when it comes to caring for house rabbits.
