Honey Bunny

// December 17th, 2010 // 3 Comments » // I Love LA.

So, I’m in love with a rabbit.  His name is Nakamura.  Stan and I picked him up from the Los Angeles animal shelter we volunteer at.  The moment I saw him I felt he was going to be my bunny.  But I didn’t want to make a rash decision since getting a rabbit can be a decade-long commitment (or more), and rabbits are high maintenance pets that need room to roam and lots to chew on.  So I instituted a self imposed waiting period in my mind of over a month.  It wasn’t at all easy and it hurt me each time I left the shelter without him but now he’s home with Stan and I, and he’s had a positive influence on us, encouraging us to eat more greens. 

P.S.  HAPPY PAWLIDAYS is TOMORROW (Saturday) all over Los Angeles if you’d like to adopt your own furry friend.

Bunny rabbits* make my heart patter. They’re cute and fluffy yet have complex minds as illustrated by their strict social structure, subtle communication, and strong emotional bonds. I feel like before living in Los Angeles I didn’t quite appreciate that about animals. Maybe Los Angeles has helped me grow up. Volunteering at the LA rabbit shelter with Lisa who’s in her 70’s yet quick as a whip and full of energy, answering any question I have in the most comprehensive way possible, has helped too. She treats every animal as if it’s a being that deserves to feel good. I feel good myself by petting bunnies fluffy white, brown, black, or grey softness, watching them hop around with their big ears flopping up and down.
 
  “Happy Pawlidays” is a pet adoption event taking place Saturday December 18 at tons of locations throughout Los Angeles where you can adopt a pet of your own. You’ll be helping yourself in addition to a divine animal. 25 years of research has shown that pets help lower blood pressure, lessen anxiety and boost our immunity. Don’t forget they provide cuddling and  more cuddling.
 
 *Rabbits are high maintenance animals so please do your research before adopting (as with any animal).
