This is the last page in my diary and nobody has given me a new one for 2008. Looking back it has been a busy year and I've taught my family a lot about looking after a house rabbit. On the whole they have been quick to learn and very keen to follow my advice. For humans, that is. Janet and I are both Virgoans so the stars might have made it easier. We seem to like the same things in life, she likes gardening, I like scrabbling and sitting in the holes I dig. She likes growing herbs in pots, I like eating herbs in pots. I like turning pages in books, she likes reading them. We both like a place for everything and everything in its place. She likes bananas, I could smell one out at a hundred paces in the dark, with paws tied behind my back. We both love a nap in the afternoon. On the whole we work well together although I do more around the house, especially supervision.
I've made a lot of friends, both animal and human. Willow my dog and Summer my blue cat shared my first home with me while George and Smudge have kept in touch during my blogging. Celia Haddon had faith in my ability to write my diary and it was another family friend, Patrick, who named me "The Cog" because he spotted both feline and canine traits although there's much more to me. A rabbit is a rabbit but this new name opened up the pathways to closer observations of my activities around the house which I have shared with you. Pauline-the-Postie cares for me when the family is away and knows all my little ways and needs. My Joanne who bought me from a pet shop started me on this life of comfort and love which I still enjoy. My secondary care giver is my personal photographer and has kept a record of my life so far, catching me often in very embarrassing situations. My friend Celia says "Where love is given it will be returned." It works in our house.
Everyone should have a bit of heaven in their lives and you are ours, Harve. Shall we keep your diary open in case you find another?

Dear Harv
I've learnt a lot about house rabbits from you, I may even think twice about eating one, one day in your honour. Sounds like Janet takes good care of you, everyone knows that humans are rubbish at supervision, I find they either get too easily distracted or interfere too much if concentrating! I'd keep your diary open just in case, as it would be good to hear about your exploits in the future.

I really loved your diary, Harve. Please keep your diary open. Love Virtual George
Thank You Harvey,
That was going to be my name but it was changed at the last minute.
I must tell you You have inspired me. I had to join to make a post to you. So I now have my own Blog! I am so excited!
(I promise not to copy yours!)
I was labeled a "Giant Finnish Female". But I had to tell the truth that I am a Dwarf Lop Ear male so that the crazy human carrying the long bright pink bunny around her neck would offer me a home.
She fooled me - I haven't seen the pink bunny since but I have seen two bright pink bunnylike things that seem to move about together sometimes. I am not sure if they are fellow bunnies or not but I run around them sometimes to show them I like them. When they are about they keep very close to the human not letting her out of their sight.
It is so good to read your blog because it is strangely reassuring to me and to my new human. She is my first (I hope the last!) I am only 9 months and she tells me I am her first housebunny though she did keep one when she was a child but she wont talk about it. So I don't ask.
I must go for my nap now I wish she would keep quiet.
Love Lennie
p.s. I am really glad you seem to be a lot better.
