Today I sent $504.43 to the Colorado House Rabbit Society from knitting booklet and pattern sales. I held some of the money back which I'm going to put in a savings account to use for a possible web site redesign, knitting software to help with pattern design, materials, etc. That is why it now says on the Lulu web site that a portion of the proceeds go to pet rabbit rescue instead of the 100% I was sending before.

Today I also heard some good news about a rabbit named "Baby" who has been listed for adoption on our Four Corners Bunnies web site. She is the black bunny in the photo below. She and her young partners in crime were found dumped in a field in a rural area and a nice woman rescued them. The two white babies were adopted much earlier but finally Baby has found a new wonderful home with some bunny people who don't mind if rabbits chew on their antique furniture. Apparently the adopters also renamed Baby after the woman who rescued her.











I just love good news like that. Here are my other favorite rabbit rescue stories.

Rusty (see below) was spotted at a feed store downtown. The rescuer had to go check him out because she'd never seen a spotted rabbit before. Turns out that Rusty was in a small cage with another unneutered male and he was covered with fight wounds. The rescuer yelled at the store owner and grabbed Rusty and took him straight to the vet. Fortunately Rusty recovered, gained back his good looks, and went to a really wonderful couple who had another rabbit who needed a companion.











Alphonso was found by a woman walking her dog through her neighborhood. She heard some sounds coming from a construction dumpster and found Alphonso who'd been dumped there. This kind woman learned all about rabbits and set up a special section of her home office for Alphonso while looking for a forever home for him. It took a few months of waiting but Alphonso also found a great forever home with some folks who love rabbits.






Tomorrow I'll have a review of the Anatolian knitting book for you.
