We wanted to give you an update on Malibu – or “Boo Boo” as she is now affectionately called by us.  Boo Boo has totally captured the hearts of our entire family.  It has been so neat to see her change from a pure white bunny with all the really cool black and gray markings.  She brings us incredible amount of joy and entertainment, whether she is hopping and sliding across our hardware floors, or standing on her hind legs by the refrigerator to beg for a bit more cilantro or parsley.  She loves to be petted, craves snuggles and freely give kisses.  If you let her, she will even lick your entire face!

We are so grateful to GRR for allowing us to adopt our Boo Boo.

Just wanted to up date you on how Cinny is doing. She fits into this family perfectly! She has become relaxed around us (even falls fully asleep!) and does amazing binkys and bunny 500s all around the living room. She loves it when I wake up and feed her yummy breakfast of a spinach and cilantro. She is even learning to come when I call her and has made under the Christmas tree, behind grandpa’s rocking chair and under my bed her special hang out places. It took some time to teach her that carpet and mats are not bunny food, but after some training and cardboard substitutes she seems to have figured it out. She and I have had some really nice bonding time; I lay next to her and rub her head and listen to her purr, and when I stop she wiggles her head back under my hand which makes me so happy. She is an absolute joy, she brings smiles to all of the family and has become a special member of this family. Thank you so much for your help and for bringing her into our lives.

Sincerely,
The Dyer Family

Willis & Binker are great. Jewel is now Binker. They are still a bit shy, but I am hand feeding them, so that helps. There’s a bunny vet close to my house.  He said they are healthy and well. Peace and thanks for my wonderful pair.

Keeper has been such a blessing to us.  We still find it amazing that someone could have dumped her at the local pound.  She is a smart, big, beautiful bunny with so much love to give.  She loves showing off her tricks and cuteness to the customers that come into our store and we can’t help but brag about all her endearing qualities.  She brings joy to us and to all of our customers. Thank you so much for taking her into GRR and for allowing us to adopt her.

Hi! Just wanted you to know that Ranger aka Remy is doing very well. He loves to come out in the den with us in the evenings and is just great with his litter box. He is eating a good variety of foods, including Timothy hay, and enjoys his fruit bit treat in the morning. Really a sweet bun and he’s got his own special personality.

If you are ever in Jax for a Petsmart event , let me know if you’d like some help.

Baby Bear was found and rescued from a retention pond by State Prisoners out mowing. He was taken to the nearest house as they thought he belonged there. While this was not his family, it still was his lucky day as the woman who lived there worked with one of GRR’s foster moms and volunteers. She just brought him to the elementary school where they worked. The little ones in first grade named him Baby Bear and were very happy to share their morning Cheerios with him. Baby Bear (Bear) is now adopted into a great home and is still the sweetest bear we know!

Holland and Java are doing GREAT! They have settled in really nicely and are super comfortable with us now. They also get along with the other pets. Holland even likes to torment the cat! He hops all around the apartment when we are home. He will follow us into the bathroom or the kitchen. I’ll turn around and he’ll be right there behind me. Java is a little more reserved. She goes under the couch a lot but she does come out to play quite often, it just takes her longer to get warmed up. She is such a sweetheart though! It’s funny too, for some reason she really doesn’t like hopping on the linoleum so she sticks to the carpet while Holland inspects every inch of our apartment 🙂 We love our bunnies so much! I hope the two of you are doing well!

Dear Leslie, I just wanted to update you on how we are doing. I renamed Lightning Bug, her name is now Penny because I thought the name really suit her and I have always liked it. Penny is such a joy to have around and my mom, brother, and I love her so much. She has been welcoming me home after work and school and she runs around in my room until she wears herself out. At first she was very nervous and scared but it didn’t take her long to warm up to her new home. Whenever she is out of her pen she loves to thump and binky around or lay down being my mirror, she is so adorable. You probably already know, but whenever I take a treat bag out she loves to jump and sniff all over me until she gets a treat, it always makes me laugh.

I am eternally grateful to the rescue and especially you for letting me have her, she is just what I was missing and I am so happy to have her. I attached some pictures to this email for you to take a look at as well. I hope you enjoy and you will be hearing from us again soon.

Thank you so much again.

I just wanted to drop you a line and say hi from me an’ tha buns. That Leroy has absolutely stolen our hearts! He’s such a sweet boy. And he and Miss Willis are such a loving couple…..nary a spat between ’em! I planted a garden for us in a baby pool that was being thrown out…..so I’m sharing fresh cilantro, parsley, kale and lettuces with them. I’ll attach a photo for you.

One of Leroy’s favorite games is “come chase me out of the garage”, where I “accidentally” leave the door open, he runs in and heads for some back corner under a shelf and I come in and flush him out of his hiding spot and chase him back out to his area. I think he would do it all day long if I indulged him! Even my husband has been won over to the bunnies… and he was originally a hard sell on them. And even though it makes him crazy sometimes, he is fairly tolerant of the bits of hay and layer of fur that decorates much of the house.

Thanks again, Kathy, for what you’re doing for the rabbits and for making it possible for us to have sweet Mr. Leroy in our family!

Butterscotch was rescued by the Gainesville Rabbit Rescue when her ‘time was up’ at another shelter.  My husband and I were looking for a bunny and saw Butterscotch at an adoption day.  As soon as I held her, I knew she would be ours.

There wasn’t much known about her past, but I vowed to make her future a bright one.  She has done the same for us.  Butterscotch is a happy and playful bunny.  She has a roomy condo and play area where she loves to run around.  I can’t begin to tell you how much she has enriched our lives with her charming and sweet personality.  In the morning, she greets me and waits for her fresh greens.  If I am not fast enough for her liking, she boxes me to let me know her disapproval.  She is also great company for me when my husband travels.

We adopted Butterscotch a year ago today and can’t imagine our lives without her. Her real birthday is unknown, so we picked today since it’s the anniversary of her adoption.

Happy Birthday, Butterscotch.  We love you!
