Make Mine Chocolate

This year Dogs on Thursday is having a contest that encourages everyone to make a donation to a pet related charity. In the past I have donated various items and time to MOKAN BC rescue but since this contest is falling so close to Easter I decided to donate to the House Rabbit Society this time.

I wanted to do this to remember both Holly and Wiggles (Wiggles was adopted from the HRS) and to make people aware of the overwhelming problem of parents buying baby bunnies for Easter presents. Most people do not realize that rabbits are high maintenance pets who require lots of special care and exercise. Many of these poor rabbits are no longer wanted in a few months when they grow up, become destructive, and the kids find out that most rabbits don't like to be carried around and cuddled. Uneducated decisions like purchasing live Easter bunnies makes rabbits the third most common pet turned into rescues and shelters.

So this year be sure to make your bunny chocolate and spread the word to others!
