I try to say “Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit” on this blog first thing each month for good luck…
Often I am someplace on the 1st (in church, at a meeting, involved in a fender bender on the corner of Schrock and Cleveland ) before it dawns on me I did not say “Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit” via blog post for the first of the month.
On February 2, 2009 I got the Capital Area Humane Society Newsletter, which said: …
February is Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month!
Just like cats and dogs, it’s important for rabbits to be spayed or neutered. Rabbit sterilization prevents reproduction, improves behavior, and reduces the risks of certain cancers. Pet rabbits are a different species from their wild cousins and cannot survive in the wild. Rabbits can live for more than 10 years. There are more than 50 breeds of rabbit ranging from two pounds to more than 20 pounds. Rabbits can be trained to do tricks or even run obstacle courses. Domesticated rabbits are safer and happier living indoors as a part of the family. Keeping rabbits outdoors in a hutch can be dangerous. Rabbits are extremely social animals who are far happier in pairs or groups than when kept alone. source: the Humane Society of the United States
While it is officially too late to take part in Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month… it is never to late to rescue an animal from Capital Area Humane Society, a dog or a cat or a rabbit… or March is “Adopt a Rescued Guinea Pig Month”
“Guinea Pig, Guinea Pig Guinea Pig” does not have the same ring to it.
