Good morning all,
Nice to have another Monday off work, isn't it? Never sure why we get this one off, except that it is half term at the schools. I think it's memorial day in the sSates but not here. Wasn't it Oakapple day or something?
Hope everyone who was unwell is feeling better, test results benign, broken bones mending well and anyone feeling low recognises that this too will pass.
Anyway was thinking yesterday what a lot of animal lovers we have on this thread. Even those who don't have any, are suckers for a cute piccie. I am technologically challenged otherwise you would have seen the ginger ones curled up loving each other and looking incredibly cute. I am a dreadful commitment phobe and it is a family joke that I never would have got Suggs if I knew rabbits lived that long. The joke started when he got to be 5 so I certainly would have been terrified of committing to the 11.5 years he eventually lived. But getting up each day and making sure they were fed, watered and well, kept me going through some black times.
And it is not just my own animals who help. When things are bad I am a magnet for the neighbourhood cats. When the ginger ones went back to the rescue for rebonding I was feeling pretty low and curled up on the sofa under a blanket, accidentally leaving the back door open. Woke up sometime later with one of the neighbours cats curled up on my chest and another on my feet. The night my mother died a different one came in for the first time and slept across my chest. Leaving the back door open is a really bad habit of mine even now I am not drinking. I am very lucky that the only visitors I have ever had are furry ones.
Looks like rain here which is a pity but it was so lovely yesterday I don't mind.
Take care everyone.

I'm glad nothing bad ever happens with leaving your door open....that said, what a great story about the neighborhood kitties coming around to comfort you! I'm so glad that the rebonding thing worked out with your bunnies. I would love to see pictures of them.
ray:
anyway...
