Nicholas
This is the story about a rabbit. His name is Nicholas. Nicholas always was rude. Never said please or thank you. Always pushed people out of the way. But what he didn’t realize was there was a good fairy watching over him. This fairy saw all his evil deeds. She knew he must change or his future would be spent committing crimes. She told him in a dream to change his ways but he didn’t listen. She told him day after day but he ignored her. The day came when he turned thirteen. Nicholas wasn’t grateful for his presents. He complained and complained. Well, the good fairy was getting tired of his rudeness. So for each bad deed he had done throughout his life she took away one family member. Soon he was all alone. He looked around confused. The good fairy sat in a chair in front of him. She told him to earn back his family he must start doing good deeds. His stubbornness got the best of him. He refused. She continued to sit there and watch him. He finally went out and helped his neighbor mow the lawn. She brought back his aunt. Next he went to the grocery store and worked all day helping people carry groceries. She brought back his cousins. Soon he had all his family back but three people. His mother, father, and his baby sister. He tried everything he knew but no good deed was worth the bad deeds he had done. Finally he sat down and wrote sorry letters to everyone he had ever wronged. He wrote and wrote and wrote. For three weeks he wrote letters and sent them. He then started writing thank you notes to everyone that had stood by him. He wrote one to the mail man who always would scold him because he pulled pranks on him every day. His teacher who didn’t put up with his bad behavior. Every family member that he took for granted. And all his friends who stood by him even though he was mean and often made himself look better because of them. He then looked around and saw his mom and dad and his sister. He started crying and hugging them. He told them everything. He said sorry many times and took them out to dinner using his birthday money. He told everyone he knew of his lesson. And every time he saw a little bunny misbehaving he would correct them and tell them to behave or else the fairy would take their family. He told his story far and wide to anyone who would listen. And when he got really old and couldn’t walk the schools brought children to him to hear his story. He never stopped telling his story. He always wanted people to know what would happen if they misbehaved. He then started writing a book detailing all that he had gone through. Every letter. Every good deed. Every family member that he got back and how he got them back. And he continuously would correct children. And he also would tell parents that they needed to teach their children right from wrong and that they wouldn’t never outgrow it. He was very old. Nicholas knew his time was near. He was dying. He took a deep breath and looked at his grandbunnnies. He told them to always behave. And with one last breath he died. But on his headstone was wrote "Bad deeds take away your family but good deeds bring them closer." Never do bad deeds. And that is how Nicholas saved lots of bunnies from growing up into criminals.

Peanut: the First Chapter
My partner and I begun this journey of buns back in 2017, when we rescued two bonded female lionheads. We named them Angel and Luna, but they were very scared and timid. Luna slowly became aggressive in her new environment, while Angel eventually opened up and started to play. They never really showed much affection, but when they did it was phenomenal! I have always had animals, but my boyfriend has never had any before this. He was in love. Unfortunately, we became homeless and had go find them new homes :(

Ziggy Dew Equals Love: Part 2
After getting the chance to talk to my future love that one last time after bringing Ziggy home before the long three years of not talking at all, my little furry Ziggy bunny man was the being that brought me the most love and happiness. As you all know, when he first came home with me, he got to meet the throne and live in a giant box, but you will be happy to know I did order him a cage with all the fixings such as a fancy water bottle, which I still have to this day, a litter tray, shavings for bedding, and food and hay for snacking on. Oh, and I cannot forget his stuffed lion. That’s right, I bought him a stuffed lion so he wouldn't get lonely, and let me tell you, he licked that thing to pieces and snuggled with it often. He treated it like it was his own dang pet. It was hilarious.

Part 1: Ziggy Dew Equals Love
Some people believe in fate and others do not, but from personal experience, I believe it exists. The love of my life came into my life because of fate, or as some call it—destiny. We grew up in the same areas, but never crossed paths. Knew some of the same people, but we still never crossed paths. With that said, we are 11 years apart in age, but love is not defined by age. It took me 25 years to find him and him 37 years to find me, but we didn’t develop a deep meaningful relationship until I was 29 and he was 40. That’s only because we were with other partners. Through our current partners at the time is how we met each other.

All About Bunnies
Believe it or not, rabbits are the most common household pet. Okay, don't believe that, it's a lie. However, rabbits are becoming increasingly more popular as pets. There are currently just under 50 recognized breeds of rabbits weighting from pounds to usually about 10-15. The heaviest rabbit was recorded at a solid 55 pounds. Naturally, he was elected as the president of the bunnies and started a campaign against being hunted.

Guide to Owning Rabbits
Let me start by saying, rabbits are not the starter pets everyone thinks, and they definitely not for small children. Cages are too small for rabbits, and outdoor hutches are dangerous. Rabbits won't be happy living in a cage. The ones from pet stores are not even suitable for a rat. They are much too small. Your new rabbit will be much happier in an exercise pen when they can't be supervised and having free roam when you can watch them. It's even better if you can rabbit proof your entire house so that it's safe to give them total free roam of the house. Just one room in the house is also suitable. Keeping your rabbit outdoors has too many risks. When the rabbit is outside and out of sight, it is easy to forget about them, to forget to feed and water them, to not pay attention to them, and that makes for an unhappy and lonely rabbit. There is also risk of predators. Rabbits are prey animals. Even if the hutch is secure enough that nothing can get to the rabbit, they could die of fright just seeing the predator. There is also higher risk of fly-strike, and parasite infections for rabbits kept outdoors. They could also fall victim to extreme weather conditions come winter and summer.

Why Rabbits Make Fantastic Pets
First off, most people think rabbits are just outdoor pets, living in hutches and stroked maybe once or twice a day with playtime in runs when the weathers nice. This could not be further from the truth. Rabbits make fantastic pets, and they can live in the home and can be taught to use a litter box just like a kitten would be taught, although some bunny-proofing will need doing to avoid any much-loved items (or phone chargers) getting chewed to bits! They are intelligent and can grow to be very affectionate. They just need a little time to get to know their owner.

Can My Rabbit Communicate with Me?
Rabbit owners the world over ask themselves the same question: Can my rabbit communicate with me? There are certainly times where it feels like your connection with your pet is deeper than meets the eye. While cat and dog owners know how to interpret their animals' body language, it can be harder to learn the languages of small pets. But I have good news! Your rabbit can communicate with you, and probably is trying to communicate with you on a regular basis. Now, for the important question: What is your fuzzy friend saying to you?
