Easter will be here soon and a gentle reminder….Live rabbits are a ten-year commitment, or so, and are not disposable, they are cute, lovable animals. Please do not purchase a live rabbit for your child unless you are willing to make a commitment. Buy a chocolate or stuffed plush bunny instead. 

Enjoy the Spring weather! The grass is starting to turn green and the trees are beginning to bud. Love the peepers at night too!
