Ginger was my first bunny, touched my heart. Here is her story.
October, 2008, I woke up and came downstairs to work....back then I was working from my kitchen table at home. I always opened the bay window blinds so I could watch the birds at the feeders while I worked. Low and behold, this day, there sat the beautiful orange and white bunny under the bird feeders eating the bird food. Immediately shocked, I took pictures of her with my phone. I knew, she was not a wild bunny. First thing I did was start questioning people in my neighborhood about her. From one neighbor I found out that another deadbeat loser in my neighborhood had turned two bunnies lose...one was Ginger. The other, I never saw nor met but,my neighbor's wife said her husband caught it and let lose in the park....argh. He said he could never catch Ginger....she was too smart!
Anyway, she kept showing up, every morning. I contacted a rabbit rescue lady, Karen, who said she couldn't take her in at the moment but, I probably should try to get her inside. Long story short, I began feeding her daily. The highlight of my mornings back then was waking up, coming downstairs to see her laying under my pear tree waiting for me to come out and feed her.
I got to the point where I could hand feed her and touch her gently but she would hop away if I tried to approach her too quickly. Finally, my boyfriend and I decided to turn one of our bedrooms into a bunny room and catch her. One Saturday morning, armed with a plan, we caught her. Immediately brought her upstairs to the bedroom which eventually became her home. After finally getting her spayed, we went through several weeks of bunny dating and bonding of her with her little buddy Kanga.
On Valentine's Day, 2008, they spent their first night together! :inlove: What a day to spend their first night together. The rest is history as they fell in love....and became the best of companions. And, we, my boyfriend and I loved her (and him of course) SO much. I gave her everything she would ever want and need, including love. I have such fond memories of her already. Like, when I'd go in the room to give them treats and say, 'oh boy', she would come running over. There are very many loving fond memories of her.
I'll never forget her or the way she has touched my heart.....in a way that no other pet in my family has.....she found the right house to go to, that is for sure. And, I'm very glad she found me....my life has been filled with such fun and happiness having her a part of it.
Rest in peace Ginger....we LOVE You and MISS you! Be free in bunny heaven with all your new bunny friends.
