I've been thinking a lot about other rabbits this winter while I snooze beside the fire. I wish they could all live like me or have comfortable garden homes like my friend Viola Rose. This is Viola Rose. She lives with her large family and every summer their lovely garden is open to raise money for less happy buns.
They each have a luxury pad and their own bonded partner for company as well as the garden to play in. This is how we bunnies should live. We need to be able to hop and run and binkie whenever we feel like it. We need company and someone to cuddle up to. We need everything other companion animals have. We need a life with someone to love us and care for us just like everyone else.
The bedroom in this picture is for two Netherland dwarf buns. The bigger members of the family have bigger master bedroom suites but they all have their very own playground just like this one.
Parsley is another member of Viola Rose's family. He is a house rabbit and sits on a chair beside Twigs while she writes her books. When the garden is open he and his partner have a play pen so they can share in the fun. If you read this page in my diary please tell as many people as you can that a hutch is not enough and please, please ask people to buy their human children a chocolate bunny this Easter instead of a real one. Unless you are sure they can live a life like Viola Rose.
Keep an eye on Dr. Twigs Way's website for open days if you would like to meet Viola Rose and her family. You can sit in their lovely garden and smell the roses. http://www.twigsway.com/

Hi Harvey,
I like the look of your friends and their garden.
I do have some favourite/special words. "What's this?" Thats a good one. "Where is it?" I like that one. "Get down Lennie." "Come up?" "Come out?" "Bedtime" & "No".. They used to use "Go Home" when I was in trouble. Then when I was staying over somewhere they said come on out we are going "home" and I got very stubborn and began growling. (I thought I was being told off) So they can't use the word "Home" They are trying to think of a way to re introduce it. I do respond to a little tapping scratchy noise accompanied with my name by running up to have my ears tickled.
I am having a quiet day today eating hay.
Happy whisperings Harvey
love Lennie
By the way Harve, that ear that you so admire can hear a banana being peeled at 400 yards! And it allows me to escape any thieving hands that are trying to pick me up unless they approach from the other side or catch me unawares zzzz on the sofa.
Love Len
