How my life has changed....

Life used to be interesting enough at our house. We have a dog (Lady), and three cats (Alexander the Great, Ditzy Mitzi, and Sam). But then...we got rabbits...and how our life has changed.

Now I get asked, "Does your grandbaby really like banana baby food this much?" when I go through the grocery line with the baby food I keep on hand I ALWAYS have to have bananas on hand - and I'm always eating at least 1/2 banana per day so it doesn't go to waist...uh..I mean waste!

Before - "poops" were to be tossed....now they are to be measured and celebrated!

I never had to count the baby carrots in the bag before to make sure I had enough to pass around (ok..so that is because I'm a breeder)...

I didn't have to vaccum and sweep every day...

My vet bill was much lower...

I never really worried about whether or not I had unflavored pedialyte on hand (and I never had to answer questions of "What's wrong with your grandbaby...see first statement above).

I'd never heard of craisins - let alone bought enough to feed an army!

And yet....now that we have rabbits...

I get a chance to feed a carrot or part of banana and watch a rabbit comehopping at the smell or sound of the bag rustling.

I have the "privilege" of being pounced on during the night by a rabbit as it starts its "Binky 500" run through the bedroom (my free-roaming rabbits only)...

I have the joy of watching them grow - and play - and learn...

....and unfortunately...the heartache of watching them go - whether it is to new homes (breeder) or to the Rainbow Bridge.

Art says since we've had rabbits - I laugh more...and I'm more loving.

Me? I just think the whole world changed....the day a rabbit entered my life.

I agree. :nod

They are such a joy to have!!

That's so sweet. ^_^ Skippy has changed my life a lot aswell. I'm 18 years old, andI spent 12 1/2 years of my life in Virginia. My husband and myself met online back in middle school. I recently moved (Sept. 05) up to Wisconsin to marry him. We've been married since November 19th. I've had a rough time finding a job, and making friends up here. Being that I'm a southerner, not many employers or people up here are fond of that. So, My husband begged if I could get a pet, he didn't want us getting a dog or a cat, so Nate asked about a Rabbit..so,that's how we ended up with Skippy. Now, Skippy gives me something to do, clean up after, and play with. He's really helped brighten my days and given me something to smile about. So, I know how you feel. :wiggle:bunny24

:mrsthumper:That's so sweet and so true. Bunnies add so much to our lives. I don't know what I'd do without my two girls.
