Love from Five Feet Away
I live with a rabbit. I say I live with a rabbit, rather than I own a rabbit, because the former feels more accurate to her understanding. Her name is Jemima and we have lived together for over eight years. I bought her from a backyard breeder in Seaford Vic when she was just six weeks old. She wasn’t meant to leave her family so soon, but the breeder’s dogs got out one morning and killed not only Jemima’s mother and father, but all siblings barring her and one other.

Rainbow Rabbit
Where’s the hope? It’s difficult to say these days when life in America and elsewhere seems to get darker by the day. Political discord, rending this country in half, economic ruin, the pandemic with devastating illness and the deaths of loved ones—so many loved ones (including a member of our family)—dying sick and alone. But hope exists—inside each of us. All we can do is the best we can under these trying circumstances. We don’t control the outcome, but we can and should be doing all we can to protect and care for ourselves and those that we love. And we can hope. For a better tomorrow. For a society changed for the better—not a disintegration into chaos, but an elevation of justice, fairness, equity for all, even those who don’t agree with us.

Smooshy the Rabbit. Second Place in Pets Welcome Challenge.
Smooshy. We actually picked the name even before we were solid on the idea of getting a rabbit. I have been living with domestic rabbits since I was 5 years old, but my boy is another story. He was always a dog person, never even seen a rabbit in a close proximity before. So, it wasn't a surprise when I brought up a rabbit his first reaction was a sane confusion. Like 'what? those things that live in the bushes?' It took some time to explain the lifestyle, but after a year of living in LA without having a little furry friend, I couldn't wait any longer.

Things You Don't Know About Owning Rabbits
PETA reports that rabbits are the third-most abandoned animals in shelters. Owning rabbits is different than owning other domestic pets, such as a dog and cat. When adopting a rabbit, you need to take into consideration that rabbits require special shelter, extra attention, litter training, and more. A pet rabbit is not a commitment you should take lightly, however, they are a good pet for certain people who prefer a caged animal over a free one. As with any animal, there are many pros and cons of having a rabbit as a pet, so it's important to know all of the necessary information.
