<span class="ecxnoteintro" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Back in 1940</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;"> on this date Bugs Bunny made his debut in an animated film called <em>A Wild Hare</em>. The plot was the same as most of the cartoons involving Bugs Bunny - Elmer Fudd hunting rabbits, only to have Bugs escape every time. The first thing Bugs Bunny said to Elmer Fudd was this - "What's up, doc?" That phrase became Bug's catchphrase.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;"></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;">Bugs Bunny starred in more than 160 classic Warner Brothers cartoons. He could dance, he could sing and he was "hare"larious. His carrot chewing persona probably didn't do much to dispel the myth about rabbits eating carrots. However, he became the second cartoon character, after Mickey Mouse, to receive his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5px;">We can't emphasize enough the importance of getting your pets, </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-style: italic; line-height: 19.5px;">and especially rabbits</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5px;">, spayed and neutered. Not only does it cut down on overpopulation, it also helps to cut the risks of some cancers, and can certainly help with those pesky behavioral issues.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5px;">Add to that the fact that many foster and rescue groups are pushed to the brink of their capabilities all at a time when belt tightening and budget cuts have made it such that many community animal shelters no longer even accept rabbits, and you have a situation where even a few extra bunnies is a big deal with no place to go.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5px;">There are currently thousands of loving, adoptable, often spayed and neutered, pet bunnies out there at shelters and rescue organizations just waiting for a good home. Let's not add to that situation when the solution is just so simple.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19.5px;">An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5px;">.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 19.5px;">Just like Halloween...Christmas and all its glitter and sparkle can be hazardous to your buns health...</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px;">More cords.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px;">The good news is that <i>NATURAL</i> Christmas trees are safe -- But be sure to ask before you buy a tree; a "natural" looking tree may still have been treated with pesticides, fire retardent, even paint! (Yes, some lots will spray their trees with a paint! So much for natural... )</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px;">Natural pinecones are safe as well; again, many sources of pinecones, however, will not be natural, if if they look it! </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px;">Pinecones purchased at craft stores will usually be coated with a scent, some type of sealant, or other chemical process which makes them unsafe for bunny consumption.</span><br />

<div>
Thats how many people live in the United States.</div>
<div>
Can you guess how many pets live here?</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Approx. -</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">360,000,000</span></div>
<div>
Isn't that’s astonishing?!<br />
Not only that, but spending on pets has surpassed the candy industry and the toy industry. Its a good thing ...dont ya think...that we spend more on our furry friends and we do on Snickers Bars?!<br />
We sure do love our pets!
<br />
<br />
More than half of us buy a holiday gift for our pets. And depending on who you believe, 8-50% of us buy our pets something special for their birthdays.<br />
<br />
Why do you think this is?<br />
There are all sorts of theories.<br />
Pets could be becoming America's new kids. Women are waiting longer to have children, and many more than in the past are choosing not to have kids at all.<br />
But still there is a need to nurture and care for and watch over a little something.<br />
We like the company.<br />
<br />
So it looks like the young and the old, the single and the married, and the empty nesters alike...are all lavishing their attentions on their pets. <br />
Thats ok though..for we have a lot to give.<br />
And its good for the lucky pets who are on the receiving end of all this generosity!! </div>

I learned something new today!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Did you know that on the first day of every month there is a commonly practiced superstition, especially in England, of repeating the words rabbit, rabbit, rabbit before even getting out of bed!!!??? Doing so is believed to ensure good luck for the person who does so.<br />
<br /></div>
The exact origin of the superstition is unknown, though it was recorded as being said by children in 1909.<br />
<br />
It appeared in a work of fiction in 1922:
"Why," the man in the brown hat laughed at him, "I thought everybody knew 'Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit.' If you say 'Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit'—three times, just like that—first thing in the morning on the first of the month, even before you say your prayers, you'll get a present before the end of the month."<br />
Today it has spread to many English-speaking countries and in the United States the tradition is common in New England, in particular in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, although, like all folklore, determining its exact area of distribution is difficult.<br />
The superstition may be related to the broader belief in the rabbit or hare being a "lucky" animal, as exhibited in the practice of carrying a rabbit's foot for luck.<br />
Rabbits have not always been thought of as lucky, however. In the 19th century, for example, fishermen would not say the word while at sea, and in South Devon to see a white rabbit in one's village when a person was very ill was regarded as a sure sign that the person would die.<br />

You smart rabbit owners have probably already thought about all these things...<br />
But a good reminder never hurts...right?<br />
<br />
For a frightened furry friend is no fun.<br />
<br />
Tip #1-Think about the noises created by the celebration of Halloween. Doorbells and squeals, hooting and hollering. There are all sorts of crazy sound effects, both inside and outside your home. Those furry ears will pick up all of it. Keep your bun away from the door and in a quiet room. You know he'll thank you for it later.<br />
<br />
Tip #2- Did you know that your bun recognizes your shape before anything else. Your shape and your smell. Costumes are going to wig him out! If your costume changes your shape..like a boxy robot...and you talk with a new accent, your bun wont know who you are. Which we can all imagine would be a scary experience for Floppy. Try putting your costume on in front of him. That'll eliminate the surprises... Or at least lessen the uncertainty.Or better yet...put on your costume after he's gone to bed!!!<br />
<br />
Tip#3-Candy. We know its not good for us. We are certain its even worse for rabbits. Be strong and say NO!!<br />
<br />
Tip #4-Decorations. That cottoncandy looking spiderweb from Walmart may look appetizing...but its no good for the buns. Not on any level. Serious tummy problems are guaranteed if this stuff is ingested. Keep it out of reach!!<br />
<br />
Tip #5-Candles. The same rules that apply to kids apply to bunnies and fire. That yummy smelling jack-0-lantern with a candle inside will be to hard to resist!! Curiosity will kill the bun and possibly set the house on fire!! Out of reach is best!<br />
<br />
Tip#6-Pet Costumes. Sticks in the mud dont recommend them for rabbits. But its almost impossiable to resist the tempation to use those ears and cute round body and cover them in adornments. If you do, please remember to not use rubber bands and elastics. They will be too tight! Watch them like a hawk..for they will probably try to get it off...for they will feel silly, right!? Dont let them get entangled. And resist the temptation if you think this custom of dressing up will stress your little bun out or that'll heat them up too much either, Have Peter the Rabbit dress as fast as a runway model, and then snap a few pics and then disrobe as fast as a model as well!!<br />
<br />
Have fun Halloween fans!!<br />

<br />
July 28,- Today is the Beatrix Potter’s birthday – Many admire Beatrix Potter because even though she was the creator of wonderfully illustrated children’s stories, she was talented in many other ways. Despite growing up as a daughter in a Victorian era family she was an artist and writer, and known as a gifted natural scientist and botanical illustrator. In her later years she bought farmlands and became a sheep expert. She was also a conservationist and left her lands in a national trust.<br />
But most of all Beatrix loved animals and the 'real' Peter Rabbit who was a Belgian buck rabbit she called Peter Piper. She said of Peter that he was 'bought at a very tender age, in the Uxbridge Road, Shepherd's Bush, for the exorbitant sum of 4/6'. This little rabbit she called her 'affectionate companion' gave his first name to one of the world's best-loved fictional characters. <br />

If they get overheated it can quickly become fatal. Imagine if <em>you </em>were wearing a fur coat in hot weather!<br /><br />Please protect your bunny from becoming overheated by keeping them indoors and making sure the temperature does not exceed 78 degrees. Any time the air temperature gets to 80 or above, it quickly becomes dangerous, not to mention very uncomfortable. Another way to help keep your bunny cool is to provide a couple 12" x 12" squares of marble, granite or even just ceramic tile for them to stretch out on. These can be purchased for a couple to a few dollars each from a home improvement store. You can also fill a plastic water or soda bottle with water and freeze it, then put it on a mat or towel in their living area for them to stretch out next to if they are feeling too warm. Fans are good for circulating the air, but don't set them so they are blowing directly on your bunnies.</span></span></span><span class="df" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">And of course, <u>never</u> leave your bunny unattended in a vehicle even if you think you might be 'just a minute or two' with a quick stop at a store. It only takes a couple minutes for the inside air temperature of a vehicle to soar well beyond what bunnies can tolerate. </span></span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">A Rabbit Parable </span></u></b><br />
<br />
<br />
In Wildwood, a socially eminent Rabbit,<br />
Of dignity, substance and girth,<br />
Had chosen a suitable hole to inhabit–<br />
An excellent burrow of earth.<br />
<br />
When up came a Woodchuck, a genuine Groundhog,<br />
Who wanted the place for his lair;<br />
The Rabbit, impressed by a seventeen-pound Hog,<br />
Abruptly departed from there.<br />
<br />
But shortly thereafter a virtuous Badger<br />
Slid down from the neighbouring shelf;<br />
The Woodchuck he slew as a robber and a cadger,<br />
Bequeathing the hole to himself.<br />
<br />
A Fox who believed in the law of requital<br />
Appeared through the bordering fern;<br />
He questioned the Badger’s Manorial title<br />
Demanding the burrow in turn.<br />
<br />
A battle ensued in a terrible smother,<br />
Affrighting the hardiest soul;<br />
The Fox and the Badger abolished each other,<br />
The Rabbit returned to his hole.<br />
<br />
So here is appended the mildest of morals, <br />
Accept it for what it is worth:<br />
“When all the Haughty are killed in their quarrels<br />
The Meek shall inherit the earth.”<br />
<br />
<br />

My Rabbit Habit<br />
<br />
<br />
I have a rabbit habit.<br />
I collect them constantly.<br />
I hardly dare go shopping<br />
in case there's one I see.<br />
I love all bunny statues<br />
made of pewter, wood or glass,<br />
and rabbit-patterned kitchenware<br />
with bunny demitasse...<br />
I like to cuddle bunny toys<br />
stuffed and fluffed with fur,<br />
and even rabbit lingerie<br />
holds quite a strong allure.<br />
I favor rabbit ornaments<br />
to hang around my home.<br />
I've wondered if there's<br />
such a thing as bunny<br />
shaving foam...<br />
If someone were to ask me<br />
to a genuine masked ball,<br />
I'd go as Br'er or Velveteen--<br />
no contest, none at all!<br />
OOOOOh, I have to have my bunnies.<br />
It's a rabid habit, see?<br />
You haven't heard the half of it.<br />
Help me -- rabbitly!<br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
It seemed that I was out of sync, </div>

and things just wouldn't jell. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
I looked outside my window </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
and, cute as he could be, </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
sat the sweetest little bunny, </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
who was looking back at me... </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
He cocked his furry head </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
and looked, as if about to say, </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
“I'm hear to cheer you up, </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
to help you have a happy day!” </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
I forgot my moody feelings </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
as I looked him in the eye </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
and said,“Hey, little rabbit -- </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
thanks so much for stopping by!” </div>

<br />
Rabbits love to play!!<br />
You know its true!!<br />
They run, they jump, they flip and play hide and seek. They even toss things in the air. <br />
And just like human kids, they love a good toy. A good toy helps them from getting bored. "MOM!!!...There's nothing to dooooooo...." (add a whining sound for realism)<br />
And now you have a choice. You can go out and buy toys for your bun...or...unlike most children, rabbits appreciate homemade toys too.<br />
Bunny toys should reflect their natural behaviors, such as digging and tossing, tunneling and chewing.<br />
Here are a few fun, easy suggestions for you to try-<br />
<br />
* Cardboard boxes or purchased cardboard castles made for rabbits with openings and ramps<br />
* Large cardboard tubes made for rabbits or find form tubes (used for concrete) at a building supply just make sure they aren’t treated with any chemicals before purchase.<br />
*Wood Bird toys – mobiles are okay especially the wood type and check at all materials in the construction of it.<br />
* Large rubber or plastic balls for pushing. Stay away from foam or styrofoam materials that can cause choking or blockages.<br />
*Baby rattles for throwing – be sure the plastic is strong enough to resist bunny teeth.<br />
*Big Plastic Slinky – I like them, too . . . what is it about a slinky, anyway?<br />
* Small stuffed animals with no removable chewable parts or hard eyes – more for snuggling than playing. If you have a single rabbit, they might enjoy a snuggle toy.<br />
*Baked and cleaned pinecones for tossing. Don't go for exotic "pinecones" that aren't your basic evergreen pinecone.<br />
* Small cotton rag rug for arranging and tunneling inside. Make sure bunny won't eat it.<br />
* Old phonebooks, although, these are becoming harder to find, rabbits love digging in them and chewing. *Core cardboard rolls from paper towels or toilet paper rolls – get the ones with the least amount of glue on the cardboard!<br />
* Untreated willow baskets – without paint or varnish or other chemicals.<br />
*Big plain paper bags from the grocery store for chewing and exploring<br />
<br />
Does your bunny have favorite toys?<br />
Please tell us about them!!<br />

A Happy Bunny Makes for a Happy Home!!<br />

I stumbled upon a fun artist-Lim Heng Swee. You can find him <a href="http://www.ilovedoodle.com/">here</a>. Lim says "I would describe my work as simple and fun, but with a strong idea or message behind it. Life should be fun and humorous when possible and I hope that my illustrations generate a sense of joy and happiness."<br />
Well done Lim Heng Swee.<br />
We're smiling!!Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06027567769858255527noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321008450512086153.post-35310686978419425572013-01-17T05:31:00.000-08:002013-01-17T05:31:00.649-08:00<br />
The Bunny<br />
<br />
<br />
Consider the bunny-<br />
God's cockeyed creation<br />
patently purposed<br />
for pure decoration!<br />
Fed up with all of that<br />
firmament stuff,<br />
He got“Sixth-Day Sillies”<br />
and whipped up this fluff...<br />
Majestical beasts?<br />
Pah! Enough of their pride,<br />
Creation was good --<br />
but, well, too dignified!<br />
So God took some whiskers<br />
and cut them too long,<br />
Set the eyes wide<br />
and aimed them all wrong,<br />
Stretched out the ears<br />
to amazing extent,<br />
Then put them on<br />
like no ears ever went,<br />
Stuck an itch-twitch<br />
at one end of the thing,<br />
and gave the other<br />
a comical spring!<br />
<br />
<br />
Gave it no sense of direction,<br />
and then,<br />
Just for fun, gave it<br />
the nerves of a wren!<br />
Looking for grace?<br />
Try the nimble giraffe...<br />
God made this creature<br />
to bring us a laugh!<br />
When it was done,<br />
God saw it was funny--<br />
And when Adam<br />
stopped chuckling,<br />
he called it a bunny!<br />
<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Rabbits Rock and ROLL in <u>The Hobbit</u>!!</span></b></div>
Though they only make a brief appearance in the newest Hollywood sensation known as THE HOBBIT...<br />
and even though they are solely the fictitious creation of Peter Jackson and not in the book...<br />
We are grateful to witness the wild ride of the "Rhosgobel" rabbits pulling their sled ahead of the disgusting Orcs!!<br />
Isnt Middle-earth Grand!?<br />
