YOU KNOW YOU’RE OWNED BY A RABBIT WHEN….

Posted by Admin On July - 28 - 2010

  • Their grocery bill is higher than yours and every cardboard box you encounter is analyzed for it’s ‘bunny appropriateness’
  • You don’t think twice when things end up with chew holes
  • When people think of rabbits you immediately come to mind
  • You know what your rabbit is thinking by the tilt of their head, their ears, etc. even when others think they’re just sitting there
  • Every flower and every twig is considered for other uses as you walk in the forest
  • You go on and on about how beautiful the Romaine lettuce was at the grocery store You thump when you’re angry
  • You become obsessed with poop
  • You go to the produce store and buy absolutely nothing for yourself, only for the rabbits
  • You have hay EVERYWHERE
  • You own at least 2 vacuum cleaners for the sole purpose of sucking-up hay and poops Your rabbit looks at you, wanting to be fed, and you actually hear a voice coming from him in your head saying, ” Get off your lazy rear end and FEED ME NOW!” …and he sounds like a NYC cabbie
  • You make a special trip to the store just to get bananas
  • You wear your nibbled clothing like a badge of honor
  • The smell of fresh hay makes you think of home and your sweet-faced little angels (who toss it all over the house)
  • The person at the desk at the vets freaks out over their 500 dollar vet bill, and you just snicker ’cause you know that’s just small change
  • All your sheets have nibbles in them The TV reception goes out because the antenna cable was chewed off
  • You talk about your bunny memories as often or more than you talk about other family memories
  • It dawns on you that they are actually training you, instead of you training them
  • You have to buy computer mice in six-packs because “something” keeps happening to the cords
  • Your drink has a piece of parsley in the bottom of it
  • You have a piece of leftover carrot in your purse
  • You forgo the ownership of the $500 Dyson for the $50 shop vac ’cause the shop vac just sucks that hay up better
  • You buy adult “pee” pads (and don’t blush while doing it) so your bunny can snuggle in bed with you
  • You find you self saying “Don’t talk to me like that young man” to a rabbit..and thump back at them if they thump
  • You call your vet’s office and just say “Hi” to whoever answers the phone -and they know who it is
  • Everyone at the grocery store thinks you eat so healthy because half your order is greens
  • When you meet another bunny person it’s like a gift

The Hollow Just Got Cooler!

Posted by Admin On July - 13 - 2010

Thanks to our amazing group of rabbit lovers the Hop A Long Hollow now has a permanent heating and cooling system!! Check out all the pictures below!

No more worrying about fires with the portable heaters and unclogging rabbit fur from portable A/C units. This system will be vastly more energy efficient and effectively cool and heat the shelter all the way to the back room! The rabbits say thank you to everyone who helped to support this, and our
volunteers who clean the shelter daily also say a big thank you!

Lots o' Buns!

Got Hay?

Posted by Admin On July - 2 - 2010

Every bunny loves hay (well, they should unless they’ve been eating fatty pellets full of treats), but have you ever noticed that as soon as you put hay in the litterbox for them to eat they pee in it and refuse to eat where they’ve peed? It wastes a lot of hay and can be a little frustrating. Doreen from Wabbit Works (www.wabbitworks.net) has a suggestion. She has put together the Screwy Rabbit Hay Buffet which provides buns with plenty of hay without the pee! During July there is a 10% off sale, check out their website linked above for more info!
