International Rabbit Day!

Who would ever know this, certainly not me! Rabbit lovers, all over the world, (I love all rabbits) are getting ready for a very special holiday, International Rabbit Day! I was surfing the web and there it was, posted on dozens of sites! International Rabbit Day is September 25, but some rabbit lovers celebrate it on the fourth Saturday of September. This is the day that rabbit lovers protect all rabbits, pets and the ones in the wild. People take time out to learn neat things about their pet, such as the rabbit diet, what to give your rabbit for toys, health of your rabbit and the list just keeps going on and on. All kinds of interesting things are found on rabbit sites. They are also asking you not to indulge yourself on rabbit meat! I have never done this, but I do want to share with you that my husband, who grew up in Northern Minnesota, his wonderful grandmother would catch the rabbit, then they would have them for dinner. This I\’m sure is something that you need not to know! I would never eat a rabbit nor have I ever eaten rabbit meat, which is my own personal preferences and thankfully, my mother\’s also!

If you like rabbits and you have done all the research you can on owning a rabbit as a pet, maybe now is the time to adopt a rabbit or two. Rabbits love company and they are happiest in pairs if you don\’t have enough time to play with them!

The Carrot Debate!

I did a little research today and I did find out that some rabbits do not like carrots, they prefer the green carrot top instead! Carrots are sweet and some rabbits do like them, but giving your rabbit more than one carrot a week could cause your rabbit to get very sick. So it turns out, my son was almost right! Some rabbits like them and some don\’t!

Did you have a chance to look at my new button over at Amazing Animal Blessings and Prayers.
Again, I have to thank Tamara at Cheapskate Designs! She actually went out of her way to change it a bit once we saw what it looked like on the actual site! I\’m sure you know what I\’m going to say next, if you need a custom button, Tamara would be more than happy to help you out!

Bud is trying out his new leash!

Bud is out for a walk on this beautiful day! Now we have him on a leash because he has learned he can take off extremely quick! Here\’s something interesting about Bud, he does not like carrots! I thought all rabbits like carrots, but according to my son, that is a myth made up by Bugs Bunny! Don\’t quote me on that, but that\’s what he told me! My daughter\’s fiance will give Bud a bath about every two weeks, he takes Bud for car rides and now for walks! I just don\’t let him get on any furniture because he is not quite bunny box trained yet and that could be a disaster, if you know what I mean!

Paws and Pray

Please don\’t forget to visit my Paws and Pray site to request any prayers you have for your pets or animals! It will only take a minute of your time. A guest just left a request for his dog Rosie, because Rosie has a leg problem, (poor little thing). So please visit this site and if you don\’t have any pets you would like to pray for, maybe you can just say a quick prayer for the ones who do! I hope you have an amazing day and please don\’t forget to hug your pet!

Lazy Pet Contest Update

This is so strange, I can\’t see who won the Lazy Pet contest over at Martha Stewart\’s Site! The contest ended on September 15 and nothing has been posted. So I have to assume we did not win! That\’s OK, though, they all winners in my book!! Everyone who entered the contest should get a coupon for a free bag of food! Maybe I should put that in Martha\’s suggestion box! That is probably why she doesn\’t have a suggestion box!! Ariel ended up with 85 views and Winston received a whopping 107 views out of 1,423 photo\’s that were submitted.

Here is a photo of Ariel with a Halloween mask on. I am going to make (what I really mean is buy) them costumes that fit more appropriately!
