Merry Christmas!

Well it might still be two more sleeps before Santa Paws comes but Binky and I got to open some presents early. Yes that's right! Our Secret Santa presents from Bunspace!

I got lots of really cool stuff in my present - a jingle straw ball, a stocking with my name on it, a nice christmas ornament, a chewy baseball and tons of treats! Thanks go to my Secret Santas Sunki-Tiponi and Velvet! Binky's Secret Santa was Molly from Niagara Falls. Binks got a carrot-shaped mineral stone, bunny rattle and Veggie Puffs! I hope she shares those with me....

It's been snowing a lot lately making everything nice and white just in time for Christmas! Mom says she will take us out one day but it has also been dreadfully cold so she wants to wait until it's a little less arctic out there. We put peanuts out for Nutters and Butters and they have a jolly good time pouncing around in the snow, digging holes and burying their stash. Sometimes they get excited and scuffle a bit with each other, especially when they both want inside the squirrel feeder. That's when I holler through the patio door glass, "Nutters and Butters! Behave yourselves! Don't you know Santa Paws is watching you?!" That usually gets their attention and then they behave themselves. I wonder what Santa Paws brings for squirrels?

Mom and Dad are all ready for Christmas. There are all kinds of presents under the tree and I KNOW there is a huge one for Binks and I! I can't wait to see what is inside! And I was sniffing my stocking today and it smelled SO GOOD! Mom said, "Fluffy McFluffersons! Get your nose out of your stocking! It's not Christmas yet!"

So in two days Christmas will be here. In all honesty, there isn't much I really want. I have a wonderful home with humans who love me, all the food I could ever want and the companionship of my sweet, darling Miss Binks. So as she and I cuddle by the fireplace exchanging ear licks and snorgles, I contemplate Santa Paws coming down the chimney...."Hello Fluffy McFluffersons! And what would you like this year for Christmas? " he asks in his jolly voice. "A few presents, I suppose?"

"Actually Santa Paws, I'm good, thanks. I've got everthing I could ever want right here..."

Merry Christmas Everyone.

The Bunns said...: What kind of a weird rabbit are you McFlufferson??? Aren't you supposed to be disapproving???

On the other hand, we think you just might be on to something there, especially right now ....; December 25, 2008 at 6:49 PM

Rabbit Rescue Poem

I used to be a lonely rabbit,
Just looking for a home.
I simply had no place to go,
No one to call my own.

I wandered through the streets and fields,
in rain in heat and snow.
I ate what ever I could find,
I was always on the go.

My skin would itch, my feet were sore,
My body ached with pain.
And no one stopped to give a pat
Or gently say my name.

I never saw a loving glance,
I was always on the run.
For people thought that hurting me
was really lots of fun.

And then one day I heard a voice
So gentle, kind and sweet,
And arms so soft reached down to me
And took me off my feet.

"No one again will hurt you"
Was whispered in my ear.
"You’ll have a home to call your own
where you will know no fear.

You will be dry, you will be warm,
you’ll have enough to eat
And rest assured that when you sleep,
your dreams will all be sweet."

I was afraid I must admit,
I’ve lived so long in fear.
I can’t remember when I let
A human come so near.

And as she tended to my wounds
And cleaned and brushed my fur
She told me ‘bout the rescue group
And what it meant to her.

She said, "We are a circle,
A line that never ends.
And in the center there is you
protected by new friends.

And all around you are the ones
Who'll keep you safe and sound,
Who will share their loving home with you
Until a forever one can be found.

We will do all we can
by searching near and far,
To find the perfect home for you,
where you can be a star."

She said, "There is a family,
that’s waiting patiently,
and pretty soon we’ll find them,
just you wait and see.

And then they’ll join our circle,
they’ll help to make it grow,
so there’ll be room for more like you,
who have no place to go."

I waited very patiently,
The days, they came and went.
Today’s the day, I would hope,
my family will be sent.

Then just when I began to think
It wasn’t meant to be,
there were people standing there
just gazing down at me.

I knew them in a heartbeat
I could tell they felt it too.
They said "We have been searching for
A special bunn like you."

Now every night I say a prayer
to all the Gods that be.
Thank you for the life I live
and all you’ve given me.

But most of all protect the bunnies
in the pound and on the street.
And send a Rabbit Rescue Person
to lift them off their feet.
