But What About Fargo?
.. spoke too soon when we said he was over it. Fargo will need more than we thought. His progress is marked, but not complete.

The photos were taken the day after Christmas. Notice how he now sits erect and turns his head to the left. Big Deal? .. Yes, if you've read the first story (see
Mid 2004).
The Grench Is Alive & Well!
Aster was another dropped bunny. Not much new in that, I'm sorry to say. However, Aster's previous guardian(s) did go to the trouble of bringing him by our shelter ... and leaving him in his FILTHY cage by the little used gate for someone to find. He's just lucky we happened by - it was about to be our coldest night this winter. No food, no water - just a scared little bunny running around in his own filth.

Pets
are not simply
THINGS to get rid of when you want a new possession! A pet that is a possession
is not a pet ! What are we teaching our children?
"Happy" New Year
We named her
Happy (see the Bunny List) since she was our first bunny of the new year. Interesting story ..
A woman called telling us of a bunny they "found". They found "her" in their yard, cornered by their dog.
They asked us who we used for a vet - we told her one in her neighborhood - and the next thing we know, that vet's office is calling saying a bunny had been dropped off.
So much for good Samaritans, eh? On the phone, it didn't seem like everything was "ringing true" about the story .. knowing the sex and all. But, at least they got the poor emaciated thing to someone that
would care.
For those that might want to know,
Q.T. was the last inbound for 2004. She came to us on the 30th of December - A "kid" neither parent wanted in a divorce.
We did have seven adoptions the last week of the year, though.
We've got even more plans for more improvement in the housing and care of "our kids" along with some website changes and some stronger education plans with even a little proposed social reform (we hope) -- Stay Tuned!
Media Taking Note
Bunnies are the third largest rescue population and a couple of TV stations have realized that the story is worth telling.
Fox 10 and
NewsChannel 3 have both been by to see for themselves that a problem exists.
The newspeople
were of the number didn't even know there was a problem. They have now changed their tune and homeless bunnies are no longer a myth or a joke.
We only hope that those that saw these reports were also awakened to the reality of homeless pets.
