Here is a photo of former Four Corners Bunnies/House Rabbit Society rescuer Debby Widolf and Sophie the bunny. Sophie is Peaches' identical twin. For years Debby worked tirelessly, caring for all the rabbits from the county shelter at her own expense. I set up the Cafepress Four Corners Bunnies shop and published Stranded Color Knitting to help her efforts. (Now the money goes to the Colorado House Rabbit Society in Denver which maintains a shelter and many foster homes.)
In October Debby landed her dream job as the Bunny House Manager at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah. We miss her terribly but it is wonderful that someone so deserving got this opportunity. She has a staff and several hundred rabbits to care for. Debby and the rabbit staff were highlighted in an article, "Wascally Wabbit: The Fine Art of Bunny Love", in the current Jan/Feb issue of Best Friends Magazine.
Anyway, in the first photo you can how large Peaches is. She is tiny though in comparison to this UK house rabbit, Dory, who recently saved her owner's life.
