My
rabbit Angel is very funny, she sometimes gets too excited while she runs
around the garden, we dont have grass for her to eat but she probably
wouldnt eat it because she either lies down-she is very lazy or she just
runs about hiding behind the bikes and under the garden table. My funny
story is this- my sister wanted to do Angels hutch so I let her, my sister
turned around and saw Angel at the other end of the garden hiding behind
the bikes because we were playing hide-and-seek with her, she turned back
around and Angel jumped from the bottom of the hutch to the middle and
scared my sister so much she nearly fell over!!!!!!! Angel seemed quite
pleased with herself-untilshe had to get back in the hutch! Blisajane@aol.com
I
should like to take a few minutes to tell you about one of our rabbits
Mr, Socks who, very sadly, is no longer with us. We already had 3 bunnies,
a buck and a doe (both neutered) and a spayed female who lived alone as
our other doe wouldn't accept her. We decided to find her a friend and
bought Mr Socks from a local pet shop. He was a 7 month old Dutch x Lionhead
and very timid.
After the initial introductory scuffles, he settled to life with Candyfloss very well and they made a lovely couple and I was so happy. Mr Socks always did remain very nervous with us, but as long as he was happy with his wife, and she loved him too, we didn't mind that. He had lovely big ears that went into a V shape and was the colour of a wild rabbit with just little white front socks, hence his name.
Unfortunately, we only had him for 5 months and almost to the day of his first birthday, I found him sitting hunched up and unwell in his run one Sunday evening in late September. I brought him indoors overnight but he was dead the following morning. We are not quite sure what killed him, but we had heard him sneezing a couple of times when we brought him in and his nose sounded a bit bubbly to me when I held him.
I can't tell you how heartbroken I was to find him laying there. I wanted to give him such a good life and it was such a terrible shock. He is buried in our garden beneath a paving slab and my 10 year old son writes almost every day on his grave with a chalk stone, that we will always love him and still miss him. It gets washed away by the rain almost daily, but he never gives up, bless him! We will never forget him. I wrote this after reading the sad story of Speckles as I know how Speckles' owner felt. I don't feel I made the most of Mr Socks or tried to get to know him well enough and that will always haunt me! So you aren't alone! mel.ra@ntlworld.com

A
sad story. I have had a rabbit, it was only a little bunny and I named
it Mopsy, it was my first ever bunny and it was so small. I could never
hold Peter (My sister's rabbit) so Mopsy was the first ever rabbit I could
hold. I only had her for about a week and i got such a shock when I saw
her in her hutch dead. I cried my eyes out and am still said about it
today. I need some advise: If rabbits are only little bunnies is it alright
to keep the hutch outside or should you have it in? My advise 2 people
with bunnies: Don't feed them lettuce (I found that out the hard way).

I
have an adorable hamster, named 'Fudge'. It is a golden colour, I would
of named it 'Honey' but my next door neighbour has that name. I have only
had it about 2 weeks. The cage is very big for Fudge (so at least it can
run around), this is a funny story so it is worth reading: My hamster
knows how to do the monkey bars because when you get him out, he is at
the top of the cage, upsidedown on all fours. You can also open it at
the side where there are little steps to climb out of. The thing that
is funny is that when Fudge wakesn he does the same thing, he goes for
food then a drink then waits still near the side where it opens. When
I go 'hello' it jumps all excited because when I say that I always open
the cage. I love my hamster, it is the best pet I have ever had. SugarLip706@aol.com
This
is the very sad story of speckles, a lovely white and black Rabbit, I
loved him dearly and I remember the summer we had so much fun, he would
run around the garden, doing the things that made me laugh. He would kick
his hind legs as he done his "Bunny" hops, he enjoyed the lush green summer
grass of our small garden, he would run around making our dog wonder where
he would go next. Officially he belonged to my daughter Nikita, but I
loved him so much, Ifeel so bad, because I did not pay him the attention
I should have, now, sadly he is gone forever, I do not know what killed
him or if he suffered any, it is now 11:30pm and I have just laid him
to rest in the garden. He must have died last night, I guess, I am feeling
so sad. My daughter does not know yet as she was in bed when I found him
lying in his cage asleep, I pray he never suffered I guess maybe it was
the cold, although I know he had plenty of warm bedding, I even built
him a custom made hutch, with two levels, it was his mansion, it even
has his name across the door SPECKLES, I painted it white, to reflect
the light and make everyone see the lovely home I had built for our rabbit.
I will miss him so much and I really do not want to tell our daughter,
she is going to be heart broken. Please, if there is a god then take care
of Speckles and give him a pleasant place to spend his days with you in
eternity. I am so sorry speckles, I will miss you and so will the rest
of the family. GOODBYE SPECKLES, WE LOVE YOU AND ALWAYS WILL abbamad001@netscapeonline.co.uk
This
is the story of my cat Jordan and his blood brother Goani. Jordan was
born in May 1991 and took over my life in July that year. After having
all his injections against all sorts of diseases, he had to be "done".
This happened in January 1992, and I must admit he did not speak to me
for several days. After about a week, I received a telephone call from
my Vet. He cheekily asked me if Jordan was okay and told me that Jordan
was a very healthy and young strong cat who had all his necessary injections
to stay healthy. I knew he was fishing for something and I asked him what
he wanted. He then told me that he had a cat in his surgery who was dying
of feline leukaemia and the only chance he had was a blood transfusion
from a similar healthy and strong cat. Within half an hour I was in the
surgery with Jordan and they took blood from him and gave it to this dying
cat. I was actually quite upset and I hoped that this cat would make it.
The next day I received a telephone call from the owner, who thanked me
over and over again. It appeared that Jordan got there just in time and
that Goani (the ill cat) had started to improve. Goani's leukaemia was
in remission and he lived for another 7 years, Goani's Human and I became
firm friends and those two cats had something together (although they
never met). Even now after Goani has passed on (he had cancer) we still
have a very strong friendship and Tessa and I still talk about Jordan
saving Goani's life. To me Jordan is an extra special cat. m.brazier@ukgateway.net
I
would like to tell you about "Merlin" a 9month old Yorkshire Terrier who
thinks he is a rottweiller. I rescued him from a car boot for £50. It
was the best £50 I have ever spent. I also have a 10 year old poodle "Misty"
who was not interested in him at all. So we had to buy a small dog to
play with"Merlin" we got a puppy LakelandxJack Russell having more Lakeland
on his side. Merlin and "Harry" who is now 6 months old are inseperable.
Merlin is a toy version Yorkie very tiny, and very silver, he looks like
an old man hence the name. Harry & Merlin play tag all over the garden
crashing down my gladioli, dahlias, etc; but if they ever have a fight
(which they do) they seem to apologise to each other. I am never going
to re-home Merlin, he is no longer a rescue dog, he is part of the family
and we love him very much. Sharon, Happytails Animal Rescue. dizzy.emmet@ic24.net
Duke our Greyhound is a rescue dog. He has not raced and he was found
abandoned in an empty house. He now plays a major part in working with
us to help other Greyhounds find homes. We call him the "Ambassador for
Greyhounds". We raise funds for Greyhound charities, particularly Greyhounds
in Need (Anne Finch's charity). Duke is always there to show people what
lovely pets Greyhounds can make. http://members.aol.com/dukiebaby.duke.htm
