A Bunny Tale -- Why Some Rabbits Have Pink Eyes
Thought it was time to put this story out into the ether again. Hoppy New Year from all the bunnies (and volunteers) at Rabbit Match.
Why Some Rabbits Have Pink EyesA long, long time ago when the world was very new and all the animals were learning why they were created, the Maker of Animals spoke to the rabbits."You must ensure our world continues by helping to feed the eagles and the foxes, for without them and others of their kind, all life on our world will soon die out. In gratitude, I grant you the ability to run very fast so many of you will escape. I also grant you many other gifts which will allow your family to increase. Rabbits will always be!"One odd-looking little white rabbit with pink eyes spoke up, saying "But Maker, what about me? I look really different than my brothers and sisters and my eyes are so sensitive I can't bear to go outside during the daylight. I'm afraid my family will disappoint you and fail in your plans for us."The Maker gently took up the white rabbit and spoke thus, "Oh, sweet bunny, you have a very special gift! You are all white to show the rabbits' pure love, kindness, and gentleness to all the humans in this new world. You and many others of your kind, white or not, will be chosen to live with fortunate humans who need and appreciate the very special connection between
humans and many of my animals.""Maker," said the white bunny, "my family will gladly give love to those who seek it. But still I wonder why my eyes are pink - so different than all these other rabbits."The Maker stroked the fur of this oh-so-curious, smart little rabbit, now called Bunny. "Well, My Own, your kind in particular will be those most blessed of rabbits who will be able to see their beloved humans through rose-colored eyes!"

Ya know, people don't get any kinder than this...
Ya know, people don't get any kinder than this...Shoji brought toys, treats and veggies for our adoptable bunderkids. We love you, Shoji. Thanks. : )
Shoji sent you a message. --------------------
Subject: hey hey i forgot to tell lulu about certain things so here it is. (if you can pass it on to other volunteers, thatll be great)
so i brought some veggies but i realized they are a bit sandy and some have clumps of mud (especially the cilantros) so i advise you wash it well and maybe soak it in water so theyll freshen up!
also, i brought some cut strawberries that should be given soon. sooner the better because they go bad pretty fast. i asked lulu to put them in the fridge so thats where it "should" be! :) also, the grape vines are not completely dry so make sure you put it in a well ventilated area or maybe outside to let it dry more...
i think thats it... if i remember something, ill PM you again.

Have a merry, pet-safe holiday
via examiner.com
We all know how wonderful the holidays can be...the lights, decorations, family and friends, the smells of freshly baked goodies and a delicious holiday feast. We all love our bunnies, guinea pigs and other small furry companions; while they are a part of our family, the lights, sounds and smells of the season can make this a stressful time for them. Here are some tips to help keep them safe and healthy:..

update on rabbit pelts in Glendale coffee house!
From our rescue bud who called attention to this originally:
Altho I stopped buying coffee there and probably never will, I think they've taken down the rabbit fur hides and fur-lined had bags and replaced them with other work by the same designer - bc of our calls. Its still cowhide handbags and a skull of some sort (disturbing). I'm still disgusted that they would have allowed this in the first place and my next step is to contact the artist to STOP killing animals for profit. How barbaric. Will you and you animal living friends help me 'get thru' to this designer? Maybe we ca convince him/her that cruelty is OUT of fashion?
Thx and happy 2010

[visit animalacres.org]Why spay and neuter rabbits?
-
Altered
rabbits are healthier and live longer than unaltered rabbits.
The risk of reproductive cancers (ovarian, uterine, mammarian) for
an unspayed female rabbit stands at is virtually eliminated by
spaying your female rabbit. Your neutered male rabbit will live
longer as well, given that he won't be tempted to fight with other
animals (rabbits, cats, etc.) due to his sexual aggression.
-
Altered
rabbits make better companions. They are calmer, more loving,
and dependable once the undeniable urge to mate has been removed. In
addition, rabbits are less prone to destructive (chewing, digging)
and aggressive (biting, lunging, circling, growling) behavior after
surgery.
-
Avoidance
of obnoxious behavior. Unneutered male rabbits spray, and both
males and females are much easier to litter train, and much more
reliably trained, after they have been altered.
-
Altered
rabbits won't contribute to the problem of overpopulation of
rabbits. Over 15 million adorable dogs, cats, and rabbits are
killed in animal shelters in this country every year. In addition,
unwanted rabbits are often abandoned in fields, parks, or on city
streets to fend for themselves, where they suffer from starvation,
sickness, and are easy prey to other animals or traffic accidents.
Those rabbits who are sold to pet stores don't necessarily fare any
better, as pet stores sell pets to anyone with the money to
buy, and don't check on what kind of home they will go to. Many of
these rabbits will be sold as snake food, or as a pet for a small
child who will soon "outgrow" the rabbit.
-
Altered
rabbits can safely have a friend to play with. Rabbits are
social animals and enjoy the company of other rabbits. But unless
your rabbit is altered, he or she cannot have a friend, either of
the opposite sex, or the same sex, due to sexual and aggressive
behaviors triggered by hormones.
-
Spaying
and neutering for rabbits has become a safe procedure when
performed by experienced rabbit veterinarians. The House
Rabbit Society has had over 1000 rabbits spayed or neutered with
approximately .1% mortality due to anesthesia. A knowledgeable
rabbit veterinarian can spay or neuter your rabbit with very little
risk to a healthy rabbit. Don't allow a veterinarian with little or
no experience with rabbits to spay or neuter your rabbit.

American Red Cross offers 12 holiday safety tips for you and your sleigh...
WASHINGTON, Monday, December 14, 2009 — With last-minute gifts to buy, social events to attend and family and friends to visit while the weather outside is frightful, the American Red Cross has 12 days of health and safety tips to make the holiday season safe, happy and bright.
- Prepare your vehicle for traveling to grandmother’s house. Make an emergency kit and include items such as blankets or sleeping bags, jumper cables, fire extinguisher (5 lb., A-B-C type), compass and road maps, shovel, tire repair kit and pump, extra clothing, flares, tow rope.
- Drive your sleigh and reindeer safely. Avoid driving in a storm, but if you must, keep your gas tank full for emergency use and to keep the fuel line from freezing. Let someone know your destination, route and when you expect to arrive.
- Help prevent the spread of the flu. Wash hands with soap and water as often as possible, or use hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol.Use sanitizing wipes to disinfect hard surfaces such as airplane tray tables, luggage handles, cell phones, door handles and seat armrests.
- Prevent hypothermia by following Santa’s lead. Dress in several layers of lightweight clothing, which will keep you warmer than a single heavy coat.Wear a hat, preferably one that covers your ears. Seek medical attention immediately if you have symptoms of hypothermia, including confusion, dizziness, exhaustion and severe shivering.
- Use a Red Cross-trained babysitter when attending holiday festivities. Red Cross-certified babysitters learn to administer basic first aid; properly hold and feed a child; take emergency action when needed; monitor safe play and actively engage your child; and some may be certified in Infant and Child CPR.
- Avoid danger while roasting chestnuts over an open fire. Stay in the kitchen while you are cooking and be alert. Keep anything flammable—such as potholders, towels or curtains—away from your stove top.Have a “kid-free zone” of at least 3 feet around the stove and areas where hot food or drinks are prepared or carried.
- Be a lifesaver during the holidays and always. The Red Cross recommends at least one person in every household should be trained and certified in first aid and CPR/AED. Your local Red Cross chapter has conveniently scheduled courses and can have you trained and certified in a few hours.
- Designate a driver or skip the holiday cheer. When you designate a driver who won’t be drinking, you help make sure a good party doesn’t turn into a tragedy. A good host ensures there are non-alcoholic beverages available for drivers. The designated driver should not drink any alcoholic beverages, not even one.
- When the weather outside is frightful, heat your home safely. Never use your stove or oven to heat your home. Never leave portable heaters or fireplaces unattended. Install smoke alarms on every floor of your home and outside all sleeping areas and test them once a month.
- Cut down on your heating bills without being a Grinch. Get your furnace cleaned by a professional; change the filters regularly. Make sure heat vents aren’t blocked by furniture. Close off any rooms you aren’t using and close heat vents or turn off radiators in those rooms. Use either insulating tape or caulking strips to surround your windows and door moldings. Put up storm windows or storm doors to keep the cold out.
- Don’t move a muscle, until they buckle. Each person in your vehicle should have their seatbelts securely fastened before driving off. Ensure children are buckled up and their car seats are installed appropriately based on their age and size. Children 12 and under should always sit in the back seat.
- Resolve to Be Red Cross Ready in the New Year. You can take one or more actions to prepare now, should you or your family face an emergency in 2010. Get a kit. Make a plan. Be informed.
Best wishes for a safe and happy holiday from the American Red Cross.

Garden Gnome Has Worldwide Adventure -- How Fun!!

If you’ve ever seen the French film Amelie, you can probably recall your own envy towards that garden gnome, whose round-the-world adventures caught on camera would certainly dwarf most people’s international travels. Well, another traveling lawn ornament has just followed in her footsteps...

Cute Overload -- It's true, now suffering from acute cute...
I’ve diligently prepared for this role.

Snowden becomes a Japanese film star!
Snowden is doing great! We renamed him Totoro after the character from the Japanese movie Totoro by Miyazaki. He really looks like him! Hmm, he's kind of settled in. I let him out a lot to run around my room. He's definitely becoming a real sweetheart! =] though he still doesn't like to be held. >< Wonder if that will change after he trusts me more. the internet has definitely taught me how to work with Totoro. I'm also learning about him a lot too. He definitely has personality and that works just fine with me.
Thank you again for helping me and hope to hear from you again soon!
Much love,
Pye

Do you use laptop? Look!
I must have missed this amazing piece of research that explains the different positions one can use a laptop in and the corresponding points of pain and stress each causes.
Researchers found that "a conventional small clamshell laptop is most comfortably used lying down in bed with the device on the thigh when the knees are kept up."
