(btw-if the checkers always rip off thegreens off the carrots, why do they leave them on in the veggie dept.anyway??:?)
I know! I never could understand that. And you pay more for carrots with tops too! (At least in the store I shop at you do.)

People just don't understand that rabbits aren't stupid, lazy, child only, rodents.
Yep, I get that all the time too. Even my sister, who was exposed torabbits when we were kids because of me (heck, she even had her ownrabbit for a while), said to me just before I decided to have oneagain, "I'd never have a rabbit...they don't do anything".

LOL....then she met Raph...her opinion's changed somewhat now....:bunnydance:
 
I was told it's as weird as having a pony in your bedroom!

Er..yeah, ok. I'd be a bit freaked out if I woke up to pony nibbling my ears.

And litter trayduty would be a nightmare!
 
There are two kinds of people in the world:

People who are blessed to be Bunny People,

and

Those who are NOT.

That is all I have to say on this subject... :bunnydance::love:

LOL! We had a bit of a Christmas'issue' this year, with the family gathering at my brother's, andPippdefinitely wasn't invited.I thinkthey hadvisionsof a bunny hopping all over theplace pooping and peeing and hiding under the furniture and having tobe 'caught'.

Of course that was fine, but that meant I could only stay an hour orso, had to get back to my bunny.:hearts:I was definitely deemedinsane! They relented as long as she stayed in her carrier.

Needless to say, somebody eventually let her out, had their ear andnose licked, watched her poop in her box and come when she was called,and that was it. She was singled outfor the nextday's family gathering at my other brother's place (I think they calledto invite her, and it was okay if I came too), where she once againproved herself, snuggling on the couch with my nephew and not chewingany cords (whew!), so now they're talking about checking the sheltersto get one of their own. :)

Winning them over one by one!

My father in law keep saying that bunnies needto live in the forest. My grandmothers say thatI shouldgivehim to the zoo. I tried telling them that zoos don't keepbunnies or cows or chickens. Its funny sometimes.
 
Ok well here is something I don't tellpeople because they will think I am crazy. I have a heartshaped locket which i have put some fluff from my bunniesinside and I wear it to exams or when I am nervous about something togive me good luck.

interesting topic, i have to say responces i getare from one extreme to the other. i few years ago i wasbuying tile at homedepot to tile gabs and the girls floor, the guyasked about where we were putting the tile so to better helpus with the job, and while he seemed a bitsuprized, he was very helpful in what he thought would be thebest to do, like for example dark grout so if it stains itwont show up so easy. and small textured tiles so they hadmore traction.

but have also had the others as well who ask what time rabbitstew will be ready, and they all say it like they were the most cleaverto think of it "first" like i never heard it before.

never had the store try and remove the greens from my carrots though,and they never ask about te bunches of dandilion greens.. but on adifferent note, we buy meat baby foods for cats and dogs whoare sick and not eating well as well as a bunch of other things, andone day when it was my turn to pick up the baby food the girl ringingme up asked if all the meat baby foodwas for a cat. I saidsortof, it's for a vet clinic so it's for cats and dogs.

We also pick up fruit and veggie babyffod esp for buns whohave had to have teethpulled and it's when i'm buying alltypes of baby food that people ask me about how old my babyis... some times i explain and other times i just smile and give theman age..

A lot of our friends, especially guys told us jokes about eating our rabbit.

Yes, I've run across that too...and unfortunately, have had theexperience of some nasty things said to me when I had a sick rabbit, orhad just lost one. This actuallly happened to me again not long ago,when I lost Lucky over Christmas. The day after he died I had to go toa dinner party with friends from work. One of the people hadn't yetheard that Lucky had passed away, so when she heard others talkingabout it she laughed and said, "What...did his stomach explode?"(refering to the fact that Lucky's stomach had been bloated from a boutof diarrhea). When someone told her that was rude, she then beganlaughing again and said, "I'm sorry...it's just funny"; and then theother person joined in the laughter as well.

With comments like these I have learned that these people don'tactually mean to be so hurtful...it's simply that they cannot relate toloving a rabbit, or seeing one as anything more than a creature withoutfeelings. If I had lost a dog or a cat this would never have takenplace...instead, people would have been telling me how sorry they were.Unfortunately they don't realize the pain that these insensitivecomments provoke...and they don't realize that a rabbit, as with anyanimal, can be just as deeply loved, and missed.
