Well Thanksgiving is over. DH, bunnies, Jake and I had a very quiet, relaxing day. Turkey came out fine. Stuffing was a hit. Had a chance to get all the bunnies outside in their run. Had fun taking pics of Willard.

I don't know if you can see it in this picture, but he's having a ball digging in the garden.

Kreacher had a ball out there too. Binkies galore. Dobby, my "Couch Potato" bunny explored a little but spent most of his time in the carrier sorting out the towels I have in there. He's not big on different changes. Would be happy just being in his crate. But I bring him out for the fresh air anyway.

Black Friday. Glad I'm working where there is no Christmas sales. To those working today, hope the people aren't as crazy as I've heard in past years. I have never gone shopping on this day. Bad enough it's crazy out there shopping up to Christmas, but this day just never caught on for me. Believe me, I'm all for getting sales but not that way. Wishing those going out shopping (since Midnight) on this day, that you find what you need and that it's truly uneventful.

I take my prairie dog outside to dig on occasion, she loves it.

Makes me feel a little less guilty for keeping her caged. Glad your boys enjoyed it.

I don't think it's guilt. More compassion than guilt. Reading how you take care of your animals, I see nothing guilty there. You save them from a wild life, they are fed, nurtured, loved and housed. That's all they need. No guilt involved. You feel, I feel too. Understand. Not many of us left. Respect for all is what is needed. Old school respect. Not this new fangled politically correct stuff.

I have to say when we first got the rabbits, DH stated he would just be my backup. The rabbits were all mine and my responsibility. Well, since we rescued Willard, and I pulled a "Roll" Move (You wanted him, he's your responsibility) DH has really stepped up to the plate. He's finding out the emotional advantage of having these sweet creatures in our home. He has been the one cleaning their crates every day for the last few days and have found the advantage of this with our rabbits. Our rabbits are very affectionate to those who care for them. DH was saying how sweet Kreacher was when he was in cleaning his crate. Wouldn't let DH do anything until lots of pets from DH were given. Dobby was doing the same thing as well as Willard, but DH is used to Willard's affection. I swear animals that are rescued KNOW that and are so grateful for this that it really shows to the one that they felt rescued them. Willard has completely bonded to DH. I on the other hand MUST work for that respect. Just like DH worked for the respect from Dobby and Kreacher.

I am so pleased at this change. I'm glad he made the suggestion. I'm glad I decided to take on the responsibility. It was tough after losing Henry. Getting emotionally attached to anything was a challenge. But it did happen. And it did happen for DH.

We are now both looking forward to what the future holds. I know it's not what we thought our future would be like, but when the rug is pulled out from under you, you try to find your way back. And it seems animals are the key for us.

Nice pictures.

Animals are indeed good therapy. I began expanding my farm after my dad passed and it helped to ease the pain.
