I needed this post today. I never knew you could pet the bunnies like that eiher. Your son's comments are hysterical, but really you are doing them a great service. Imagine how much happier and healthier those bunnies are because they are getting love and affection!! I have never petted one before in a store because I thought it was not allowed. I absolutely adore bunnies. Right now I satisfy myself by loving on my son's chinchilla (as much as Mr. Chinchilla, i.e., Balashi, will let me ... usually when I have raisins in hand). The two bunnies shown here today are so very sweet.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I've already told you but I decorated my son's nursery in Peter Rabbit and I still have most of those items. I just reincorporated them elsewhere in the house. LOL<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Nance, the bunny whisperer. I bow to you for all the love and affection you give to those pet store bunnies.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236812564217726681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-36417380185772628602008-05-19T16:08:00.000-04:002008-05-19T16:08:00.000-04:00simplypink--i've never thought of my visits as "bu...simplypink--i've never thought of my visits as "bunny sampling." but i really, really like it! thanks!<BR/><BR/>princess of the universe--glad to help! enjoy your visits. you may even end up adopting. bunnies can be litterbox trained, you know.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-52727491064883586852008-05-19T16:07:00.000-04:002008-05-19T16:07:00.000-04:00ck--seriously, even though i care about my fish, t...ck--seriously, even though i care about my fish, they are not able to even BE petted. and i highly recommend bunny visiting. just don't take all the clowns at once. lol.<BR/><BR/>nina--i always feel sad for the dogs at Petsmart when they have the rescued dogs. they look so sad and you KNOW they already have sad stories! as you know, i am not a Dog Person, except for watching Dog Shows.<BR/><BR/>jenomena--i once had a finch named...ATTICUS! <BR/><BR/>nancy--you really had to reach for that, but it was just about worth it. good puns always are. and i am not at all averse to going to great lengths if it means i can continue to hold bunnies.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-46667456797273812852008-05-19T12:42:00.000-04:002008-05-19T12:42:00.000-04:00Oh, and fish are fish, not pets.Oh, and fish are fish, not pets.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015442439562633822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-83944114313995368662008-05-19T12:41:00.000-04:002008-05-19T12:41:00.000-04:00Ohhhh!!

However, I am most definitely not a bunny whisperer, they always run away from me as though they don't want to be bothered and my feelings are always hurt. It seems like the birds there don't like me either :( <BR/><BR/>I used to be a frequent visitor to the pet store at the mall so I could play with the the doped up puppies. Because I am a Dog Whisperer, they all love me and want to live with me. But those puppies are full of diseases (says my dog groomer friend who has seen lots of them die) so I don't dare hold them anymore in fear that I may pass something along to one of my precious pups or far worse, my baby boy!<BR/><BR/>The fish in the pond are NOT pets.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060839171999701331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-12940181542089430742008-05-19T10:30:00.000-04:002008-05-19T10:30:00.000-04:00There's a pet store near us that lets you hold pup...There's a pet store near us that lets you hold puppies! They have roughly 2 dozen puppies or more, and you can hold any one you want. I mean, it's obviously meant to help you decide which one you want, but my friend and I have gone just to play and cuddle them. They also have bunnies, but the bunnies are always skittish around me which makes them hard to hold. It makes me sad.<BR/><BR/>On several occasions, I've befriended birds. I can't remember what kind of bird, but more than once I've been holding one that just will not let go of my hand. I don't blame it--there are too many birds in those "cages".jenomenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125646154464097317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-73008992345708104572008-05-19T00:14:00.000-04:002008-05-19T00:14:00.000-04:00Nance,Pretty soon the owners of the bunny shop wil...Nance,<BR/><BR/>Pretty soon the owners of the bunny shop will be treating you in the same way the casino owners treat a card counter who tries to play blackjack in their casino.<BR/><BR/>They will BAR you from their store and you will have to resort to disguises.<BR/><BR/>I can see it now.
