My name is Terri and I am a semi-retired secretary/vet assistant; who is now gainfully employed full-timeas "fur-mom" to the newest member of our family, Miss Sidney Bunny (among others).
My husband and I have a house full of rescued and abandoned cats, and dogs, some of which found their way home from the vet with me when I worked there. The greatest of our rabbit experience has been with Dwarf Rabbits. We have loved several of them through the years, and sadly they have all crossed over the Rainbow Bridge having lived long, and plush lives as house rabbits.
Miss Sidney is our first after a two year hiatus; and I had not forgotten what I was missing by being owned by a sweet, loveable bun. She came into our home an innocent victim of a "Special Easter Sale" at a local retail store in our home town where I purchased our cats food. When I peered down into the metal cattle trough that she was living in, she stood tip-toe on her little back legs and peered up at me. She was the only femaleleft. When our eyes met my heart melted and I knew I couldn't leave her at the store. The store employees wanted me to believe she was a "Lop". Had I purchased her for that reason alone I would have been woefully disappointed. My little girl seems to not know, or care that her ears stand up high and proud. We're not sure of her breed, but that doesn't really matter.
Sidney had several "brothers and sisters" of the cat and dog variety that she had to get used to when she came to live here. Most of our cats, as well as the dogs were all ready used to having a bunny rabbit running around here. Sidney seems to have happily settled in amidst the confusion and has quickly come to consider herself one of the "cats"; being most enamored by a young tuxedo cat of ours named P.J.
P.J. grooms her, and shares her cabbage. Sidney has also taken to telling bedtime stories to the others. She's quite the mature girl for one still so young in years.
I look forward to meeting others on this rabbit forum, as well as their precious cotton tails and I hope you will find our lives and family interesting and enjoyable as well.
