I confess I did always enjoy going through the rabbit building, marveling at the variety: lop eared, Angora, etc. etc. because i'd only ever seen them in the field.

The two don't mix very well.<br />Good luck!dshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616750784052488695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-60582209909109913922011-07-24T13:43:38.737-04:002011-07-24T13:43:38.737-04:00I predict that there is going to be a rabbit in yo...I predict that there is going to be a rabbit in your future, as when kids start with the pet pleading, parents are usually bowled over. Also, it's been crazy hot here, and I have been shunning the outside, like I mentioned to you. I can imagine that it must have been pretty hot for you to have to cancel plans like that. I am glad that you got the chance to hang out with Melissa as well. It does sound like you guys had an amazing time together and have a lot in common.

They did have that in Auburn, but it wasn't very popular.<br /><br />Melissa is adorable - I'm going to check out her blog now.

I don't think you can make very much money from a single rabbit, but you might end up with two or three very nice sweaters.<br /><br />They are excellent pets, much better than you'd think they would be, if you can't have a dog or a cat for some reason. They do need an area where they can be let out of their cage so they will be more work than a guinea pig. <br /><br />The rescue where we got our, does insist adopters attend a brief care class, and I think there are extra classes for adopters under a certain age. The rescues want to make sure children who adopt know the six to nine year commitment they are making to care for their rabbit.<br /><br />Anyway. You should come to California. It's been very pleasant out here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-43229854134003835502011-07-24T10:01:35.580-04:002011-07-24T10:01:35.580-04:00I can't believe hat it is so hot and everywher...I can't believe hat it is so hot and everywhere!
