So, Sister-bunny is only gone a coupla weeks an' now our brudder, Phantom da Aussie, is gone, too. He had arthritis in his back fer a coupla years. But about a month ago, he got to where he could hardly get up. Mom's parents is sick so she wuz gone an' Dad took Phantom to da vet to see if dey could help.
Even serious pain meds didnt help. Mom an' da vet lady let him go to da Bridge on Thursday. That night, Mom lit a candle fer him -- we keeps a special candle fer Bridge creatures. She asked him to send her "the right dog" when it wuz time.
Well, Phantom must know our sister dog Roxy would be lonely, so he sent Mom to da ASPCA in Santa Barbara. She found a nice dog there; Roxy liked her, too, so Maggie comes to live here next week.
She'd better be good to bunnehs -- that's what we got ta sez!! Or we will ****THUMP*** her!!

We lost our adopted Sister-bunny almost 2 weeks ago. She wuz, best Mom knows, somewhere between 9 an' 10 -- not bad fer a bunny who wuz left ad da shelter an' later got uterine cancer!
Sister started life as "Mister" -- her elderly mom never knew "he" wuz a "she." Sister's mommy was, as unnderstand it, an elderly lady who loved her bunny but really had no idea how to properly care fer her. Affer 6 years wid her mommy, Sister lost her home cuz her mom hadta go into some kind of eldercare situation. And, no surprise: No one in da family would take Grandma's fat, poopy-bottom bunny, so she got dumped at da shelter.
Sister almos' died -- from grief, shock, change uv diet. She lived cuz uv smart, caring, observant volunteers --- and a great vet. Fer 5 weeks, Sister boarded at da vet cuz no one had room to foster her. Finally, one uv Mom an' Dad's foster buns found a ride to Arizona an' Sister got sprung to come live wid us!
Sister wuz SUCH a cool rabbit -- independent, self-possessed. Not one bit 'fraid uv all our brother an' sister dogs and cats. She loved our Dad! One night, Dad didn't notice her quick enuf when she wanted ta sit in his lap. Roxy, da Golden Retriever, wuz layin' between Sister an' Dad so Sister just put her front paws on Roxy's shoulder an' leeeeeeeeeeaned over her to get Dad's attention! (Roxy wuz shocked an' just sat still, waitin' fer someone to rescue her fwum da rabbit!!!)
Jus' over 2 years ago, when Sister finally got skinny enuf to be spayed safely, da vet found dat she had uterine cancer. Still, she lived -- another 2 1/2 years. She wuz nothing if not resilient.
Oddly, no one ever wanted to fight wid her. She jus' didn't provoke dat kinda reaction. She wuz part of Mom's "herd" fer a short time, but wuz happiest as half of a pair wid her furiend Harvey. When she died in Dad's arms, he made sure to let Harvey spend time wid her so he could say goodbye.
Sister's buried in Mom's "bunny garden" wid other 7 buns -- some owned, some fostered and some just befriended. Harvey an' us buns an' Mom an' Dad all miss her.

 Merry Christmas Comment Graphics..
Jus' a reminder: If any uv our furiends parents iz thinkin' about adopting -- a new or another bun (or dog or cat or even a horse or other farm critter) -- di Cwismas is a perfeck time. Di year has been 'speshully hard fer lotsa peeps an' so many animals is bein given up to shelters or dumped cuz der peeps jus' cannot cope. A hard year fer hoomins means a hard year fer their critters.
If u cannot adopt, consider donatin' a little money or time to a local shelter or rescue. Mom sez it'z a 'normously fulfilling experience. Most uv us Plan B Bunneez can second dat; widout u hoomins ta help, sum uv our lives wouldha been pretty awful. Thanks fer all u peeps do fer us all year!

So, we'z askin' all our fwends to check this out:
http://www. myspace. com/zoohcorner
Our mom volunteers fer Zooh Corner -- dey is "fwends of the shelter" at da animal shelter in San Gabriel, CA, an' take care uv all da rabbits there. Just over 3 years ago, the euthanization rate at this shelter was 85% !! For 3 years, it's been a big fat ZERO, cuz uv da volunteers.
The peeps are re-buildin' da bunny area to make it safe, clean, an' more comfortable fer da buns -- and attractive to potential 'dopters. 3 uv us here at Plan B is fosters fwum SG; so are Revlon & Webster, who are part of our resident family.
PLEEEEZZ, if you can spare a coupla bucks, pleeeeeeezzz donate a little toward da building effort. Our dad designed (an' did a whole bunch of da building work on) the 12 new 3-story condos. Da buns iz also gettin' a new roof an' a clean, level floor of concrete pavers. We need to raise more funds fer a better coolin' system, tho; it gets terrible hot an' a nice bunny named Pooka died fwum da heat 2 years ago (when it was 116 in some parts of LA).
So, help -- if you can. Any amount is welcome.
Thanks much, Da Buns

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKPWzLgvgW4Our mom is planning an outreach of sorts with a local rescue. The point? To connect with the next generation of bunny "parents" -- KIDS!
We know that most rescue efforts don't try to involve kids -- they might injure us or neglect us -- but who is going to teach them if you don't? Who will make homes for adoption bunnies in the future if kids don't learn to open their hearts and take responsibility? Listen, kids influence their parents and their peers. Let's give them the information they need to make compelling arguments on our behalf.
It takes just one voice to get things started. Won't you help to speak for us?

November of 2007, I became a Bridge Bunny. I wasn’t really ready to go -- I had lots of guard duty left to do. But I had a history of tummy problems; bein’ a dwarf bunny had some built-in hazards, like a not-very-efficient digestive tract.
Most bunnies with stomach upsets -- not eating (not even our favorite stuff), not pooping, not drinking -- have a condition called GI stasis. That’s when the gut (stomach & intestines) slow down and begin to shut down. Our temperature drops from the normal 101-102, we don’t want to move around because we HURT, and we can’t help ourselves. Many of us die from GI stasis --FOR NO GOOD REASON. Our peeps simply don’t know to act or wait too long!
Sometimes, it’s from bad diet. We need lots and lots of hay, only a few pellets, and a nice helping of greens everyday. We need clean water, all the time. It’s also possible for us to swallow too much hair when we groom, esp. during shedding season (heads up, that would be NOW). We swallow hair, don’t eat enough hay, don’t drink when we should, and next thing ya know -- GI slowdown or stasis.
Hoomins!! Listen up!! It’s your job, your responsibility to us to watch and act.
-- I-M-M-E-D-I-A-T-E-L-Y --.
When we don’t look right, don’t come outta our condo, don’t want that slice of banana (yeah, that DOES happen), you hoomins need to RUSH into action. A bunny can die or have to be PTS in as little as TWELVE HOURS if you don’t act. Would you rather pay a vet bill for an x-ray, fluids, and pain meds? Or pay for our tiny, pitiful little cremation? NEVER wait to take us to the vet for help -- we don’t have the time. When our mom sees peeps post dat bunny hasn’t pooped fer a couple uv days, she just goes NUTS. DO NOT WAIT!
Pleeze, pleeze!! Check your bunnies several times a day. If they are shedding, groom that dangerous hair off of them. Make sure they have poops in the litter box, and that those poops aren’t strung together like a little nasty necklace by all that hair. Keep their water clean and fresh. Feed wet veggies daily and LOTSA, LOTSA hay ta keep things moving.
These are simple things to keep your bunny with you for a LONG time.
