Bunny Therapy

Bunny Therapy. That's what Mom says she needs sometimes - hugs and kisses and snorgles.

Sometimes life can be stressful. At least that's what Mom says. And when it does, she comes to us bunnies for a little lovin'. "McFluffersons, when the day has been long and tiring, there is nothing better than coming home to my bunnies and hugging and kissing them. You have no idea how much better it can make me feel."

"But you know how I feel about kisses Mom. I'm not the snorgly type."

"I know, but you are easy to scoop up and light enough to carry with one hand. And I can usually get about 30 seconds of snorgles in before you really begin to flip out."

Yes, Mom likes to torture me like this. Sneak in the room, pick me up and cuddle me. She will bury her face in my fur, give me all kinds of kisses and all that nonsense, and she always keeps my feet facing forward so I can't use them to springboard myself away from her loving. Sometimes when I am on the couch keeping the Stupid Blankets in line, she will start rubbing my head - I'm such a sucker for that. So I will sit still and let her pet me, kiss me and scritch me. Sometimes all she wants to do is rest her forehead against mine. And sometimes I can actually feel her relax. I can feel the warmth, the smile on her face and the peace in her heart. That's when I know I've done my job.

Then it's treat time. Because no therapist provides services for free, no sir! "That'll be two Veggie Puffs and a raisin please!"

*sigh* "Here you go. See you next week....." *wink*

The Fab Furs said...: Since you are not an avid snorglee, McFluffersons, make sure you charge her extra for the bun therapy you provide, and, since it is such a specialized treatment area, bill by the second, not the hour.; October 22, 2011 at 9:53 AM

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.
