I couldn't pass up this linky party!
Sandy over at Soaring Through Second is having a "Furry Friends" linky party to link up your furry friends and share what you've learned from them.
I got three furry friends. This is Frankie. He's a 12 year old Holland Lop. He turned 12 last Wednesday which is quite a feat considering rabbits normally live 6-8 years. He's just a bundle of love. He's excited to see me no matter what I feel like or look like and he can always bring a smile to my face. I took this picture one day when my mo and I were in the backyard and she asked if Frankie and ever jumped up in the tree. I said "no." And sure as could be he was in that tree a minute later. Some people say animals don't understand what we say, but I'm not so sure....
We also have 2 kitties we adopted almost 2 years ago. I've posted about them before, so I apologize if I'm repeating myself. They are brother and sister and were found in a field when they were 4 weeks old. He is blind and partially deaf. When they were brought to the shelter, he was going to be euthanized. Did you just gasp? I know. But there was an amazing volunteer who saved his life and said she would keep him if she couldn't find a home for him. I've thought a lot about love and bravery having these two. Stevie can't see anything but is fearless. He will jump and climb even if he doesn't know where it will lead. A great reminder to not be afraid of taking chances. And we figure his sister must have stuck with him in that field because he would have just started wandering. She was very protective of him when we got them. If he cried out, she's come running. Now when we clip his toenails he cries and fusses and she's right there to see what's going on. They are so sweet!

Hi Chrissy,
ReplyDeleteI've fallen behind on my blogging and can't believed I missed your beautiful furry friends. I love the story about your cats! And your bunny is adorable. I've had two rabbits over the years and they're just the sweetest little pets.
Take care and enjoy your weekend.

You are so sweet! I've missed being here. I've been so busy getting things done for school and time has just flown by. I'm so happy to feel like I can get back to it! It's funny going through my blog list- it seems I'm right behind you everywhere I go. Are you also finding more incredible ideas than you could ever use? I fight the urge to do them all.
DeleteThanks again for the thoughtful comment.
