Monsanto GMO Alfalfa
From Karalee:
This is so important not only for our health, but our rabbits. Please consider voicing
your concern. I did and it was easy to do. They provide a template.
Source: Organic Consumers Association newsletter
Wanted to pass along proposed GMO alfalfa introduction (Monsanto's RoundUp Ready Alfalfa) that may be cause for concern and action.

I Couldn't Resist Redux
This picture was originally posted on the sponsor page but the sponsored bunny got adopted before we all had a chance to enjoy it.
Our sincere thanks to Adrienne's Mr. Bunny for being way too cute!

United Cerebral Palsy Event
Courtesy of Heather and John:
CHRS members Heather and John Dean were invited to give a presentation at United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Central Ohio on Monday, January 11th. UCP of Central Ohio is an agency that provides programs and services for people with disabilities and aging conditions.
Heather works at UCP of Central Ohio and makes every effort to spread the word about the joys of living with rabbits. Daphne, a big black New Zealand bun, helped John and Heather show the group how much fun house rabbits can be. Before the presentation started, Daphne got some nose pets and then settled down with a dramatic bunny flop! During the presentation, she was happy to munch on some greens and hay to emphasize the proper diet for a rabbit.
The group was most interested in learning about bunny proofing methods to protect rabbits from chewing dangerous cords. Heather explained that bunny proofing items can easily be purchased at the local hardware store. Of course the highlight of the day was getting the opportunity to pet Daphne. She was definitely soaking up the attention.
CHRS would like to thank UCP of Central Ohio for inviting us to talk with the participants and staff about the responsibilities of having a house rabbit.

I Couldn't Resist
What can I say? The picture says it all.
In case you're wondering, this is Lucy Cook who has survived one health setback after another. Her reward? A brand new Christmas outfit! What a lucky bun!

2010 At Last
A belated Happy New Year to everyone! I hope that you and your families had a happy and safe holiday season.
I certainly did, in spite of the cold I came down with on Christmas day. But Laine was kind enough to loan me the first season of Dexter (a Showtime series), which I thoroughly enjoyed. So a few days spent lounging in bed turned out to be quite wonderful. Plus my family remains intact. My girls will be 13 sometime this year and are showing their age. But with the help of meds and a vigilant medical team, we all made it through another year and I am relieved that 2009 is now over.
As we face what looks to be a long, cold, snowy winter, I am soliciting content for this blog. In particular, I am looking for funny stories that exemplify life with rabbits. I have spent a lot of time with canines over the past few weeks and find them quite enjoyable but just not as charming as my beloved lagomorphs. So what is it about rabbits that makes them such delightful companions?
Please send stories and pictures. I need something to help me stay warm this winter!
