The Happiest Place in Town
Who would think that an animal shelter is the happiest place in town? Well, we would! Happy volunteers see zooommies and binkies when bunnies go into the play yards. We hear the guinea piggies wheeking to the crinkle of plastic veggie bags and we are happy. Children laugh with delight as they feed cilantro to bunnies and piggies. That makes us all happy. We love to send a big bag of hay home or trim toe nails. We are happy to tell a grieving family forced to give up a beloved pet that we will find a new home. Our eyes fill with tears of joy as a favorite bunny or guinea goes to a new home.
When a bunny like Aja arrives who has been starved into skin and bone, we take her into our hearts and homes. As she recovers, and we weren’t sure that she would, our happiness grows with every ounce she gains. She loves those greens and is happy that food and water comes every day. Go Aja!
Then there was Peggy. She came to us with a floppy leg. Peggy would walk on three legged tip toe, just to keep her floppy leg from touching ground. The bone was crushed and it HURT! Happily we could have that painful leg removed. Peggy is happy too. No more tip toe, she hops on three leg just fine. She puts the happy into hoppy.
Rebecca noticed that her front teeth kept growing until it was hard to eat. Not to worry; BUNS had them removed. Now she gives us kisses which makes us so happy.
Hoppy Hour and Pignic make everyone happy. One can be a lonely number for piggies and bunnies. Like us, they are social! And, while their human families are lovely, they are not the same. So Hoppy Hour and Pignic give them a chance to see their own kind. And, we love to watch them.
So this Holiday Season as we put up out Wishing Tree, we are happy to share our dreams for a joyous new year. These are our dearest wishes. You can make them come true.
Volunteers - Please join us to make the new year joyful for all the bunnies and piggies needing a new home. Make a joyful new year for the families that find their new pets at BUNS
