Hi Laurie @artist01. You did a wonderful thing to help the animals while you could. The animals do gives us better coping skills through their unconditional love. It is not easy for me but they do push me to get up to do things. I always keep all the animals clean and give them what they need. Besides, I have a variety of foods for the rabbits since I eat a lot of veggies and fruits plus I have my outdoor veggie garden I added this year. Besides herbs, I give them a few cherry tomatoes and weeds from the yard for treats. It has become routine for me to go outside everyday. I have an abundance of food from my yard the rabbits can feast on throughout the year. Why let it go to waste? I am recycling, lol. I use the contents of their litter box to fertilize my plants. All works well. I believe in helping animals, big or small. I rescued a puppy chihuahua mix and later rescued a full chihuahua female for him as a companion. All the animals get along well although the Flemish Giant is the biggest. My stepson calls him Bunzilla, lol. The wabbit is so mild mannered. Nothing at all like Godzilla and the violence associated with him.
Doesn’t your senior center have a community pet like a dog or cat? Maybe you can make a suggestion. I am sure other residents would like that too. I knew a few rehabilitation centers or nursing homes locally that had community pets. Does anyone bring in animals at your senior center on a regular basis to visit? Perhaps look into that. Remember it may be a more difficult time now with covid. Best wishes. Toni

@avmcbellar Hi Toni
I've just typed out a too-long text on my cell in response to your lovely text, and AARGGGH, I lost it in the ethers just before signing off.🙃 I tried every way I knew to recover it. Oh well. The gist of it was ... love the 3 photos of Bunzilla (love that nickname) and his ladies ... and, a good nudge for me to request at the least a visiting Care Dog here! When this building was new, pets were allowed, but it was found the seniors were unable to care for them properly (dog outings, cat litter boxes) so the plan was abandoned. We'll see...
I know it would be a tricky idea right now, with Covid. At my previous seniors' place we had a gentle golden lab Care Dog visiting weekly. It was wonderful.
