Hoppy Endings for Daisy

Daisy

We had the most wonderful 12 pound floppy eared rabbit named Peanut Bunny. Peanut Bunny was very special.  She bonded with my son, who was 12 at the time we brought her home. Every night Peanut Bunny would sit beside Aaron and groom him. After 3 1/2 years she became sick and was sick on and off for about 9mos. While she was sick, I did a lot of Internet searches on rabbits to see what I could do to help her. In those Internet searches I came across the Gainesville Rabbit Rescue site. I thought what a nice idea to rescue rabbits.  I vowed to make sure the next bunny I bring into my home would be a bunny that did not have a “forever” home. In February of 2010 we lost our Peanut Bunny at the age of 4yrs old. In March of 2010 we adopted Daisy, a black and white bunny with helicopter ears. Daisy was scheduled to be euthanized due to aggressive behavior before the Gainesville Rabbit Rescue took her in.

Her foster moms took very good and loving care of her, showing her not to be afraid, and thus stopping the aggression. I have to say they did a wonderful job. Daisy is the sweetest bunny ever! She wants to be loved on all the time. Daisy has become a central part of our family. Every morning she rushes to me to be pet and fed greens- okay to be fed greens and then be pet. Every evening she comes over to us and lays down beside us as if to say, “it is time to pet me!” She will want you to pet her for hours on end, yawning and stretching every so often and then settling down to be pet again. What a great addition to our family. After some consideration we decided to open our home to help other rabbits. Currently we have 3 forever bunnies and 4 foster bunnies. Our home is filled to the brim with bunny love!
