Bringing home the bunny: Important information for rabbit owners
They are cute and cuddly and can be fun to watch as they play and hop for hours. Rabbits are gentle, social creatures with big personalities and even bigger popularity with pet parents. These little cuties are commonly thought of as part of the rodent family but they are in fact lagomorphs.

I ASK FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN SOCIAL MEDIA BULLYING & FEAR MONGERING TO PLEASE READ & COMMENT BELOW!
There is an animal control officer in Canada who is spending his hard earned dollars in court to defend himself against a Facebook group of- well to be quite frank- bullies. Some people have signed a petition in regards to an alleged situation that they DID NOT witness. I have tried to keep quiet but I cannot- people use social media as a means to start a witch hunt. They know nothing about this m...an and how many animals he has helped. Its ignorance and I say that with no disrespect- there's nothing wrong with being ignorant, its simply a lack of knowledge. They have not witnessed anything that could provide them with a valued opinion about the ability he has to do his job. Nor has he been convicted or found guilty. Yet still some people have listened to gossip and chose to spread it further- turning it into a hatred that they don't even recognize. They are to far gone. And so they slaughter a man on Facebook and defame his name and breed more hate from the gossip. Its starting to make me sick because it happens everywhere, everyday people are using #Facebook to hurt one another. Read the news- its spilling over into real life. Do you want this man to lose his life? Someone to go 'postal' on him- or as I like to say 'go all Facebook.' I am not going to offer hatred- therefore I'm not going to name names or sell anyone out. What I will offer is insight and I hope those relying on a strangers 'word' or local gossip will take it into consideration before more victims of Facebook #bullying lose their lives.
This March take a break to celebrate these pet themed holidays

Holidays in March seem endless with Easter
celebrations coming on the heels of a Saint Patrick’s Day party weekend. While
us ‘two-leggeds’ celebrate our furry family members are also honored with these
holidays and awareness weeks.
On March 1st skip the bacon and
celebrate National Pig Day! Pigs as pets are growing in popularity and this day
asks us to respect the meat and pass on the pork!

February has nothing but love for pets: celebrate these animal-themed holidays
Photo by Angela Scappatura Photography Foter CC BY |
February is here and it’s time to take inventory of our
lives, celebrate love and warm the frost away in time for spring. February
is always a busy time so it’s fitting that the month would be overflowing with
pet-themed holidays and awareness weeks.
The month of February is dedicated to many furry friends.
Not only is it National Pet Dental
Health Month but it is also Responsible
Pet Owners Month, Responsible Animal
Guardian Month and National Prevent
a Litter Month. If that’s not enough love for the animal kingdom then wait-
there’s more! February is also the ASPCA’s Adopt
a Rescued Rabbit Month and the Humane Society of the United States Spay/Neuter Awareness Month.
This holiday season celebrates animals of all kinds with these pet themed holidays
This holiday season is going to the dogs, monkeys and the horses! December ushers in the cold of the snow and the warmth of the holidays- but did you know that there are pet holidays and awareness weeks in December? Add to the celebration by spoiling your furry family members a little more this Christmas.
December 2nd is National Mutt Day and is a day worth celebrating. Mixed breeds are often healthier and are wonderful pets. This pet holiday was initiated by the Animal Miracle Foundation as an effort to help place 10, 000 shelter dogs.
