Lost in Cyberspace & Associated Content

Well I have surrendered to cyberspace. I am now officially a slave to the CyberVerse. As such, at least I get to work at home and be with the animals all day as opposed to driving a long way to somewhere and sitting at a desk and getting sneezed on in a cubicle. And I can put up any kind of posters I want over my desk.

Of course, the poster that's up there is called "The Many Faces of Expression" which I picked up at a paper show many years ago. It's a beautiful print with a dozen of animals painted by an illustrationist named Beckett. In the center of the print is my beloved wolf brother, and below him, a hare. Also portrayed is a skunk, badger, squirrel - all the woodland creatures.

I don't have to look far in my house to see a bunch of woodland creatures. Several reside right in my bedroom including two rabbits and 2 birds and a house cat who stops in for snuggles in the evening.

And so being lost in cyberspace isn't all the bad.

Where have I been lost and trying to find my way? Associated Content.

Check out the first installment of my new series "Secrets to Bonding Rabbits: Matchmaking for Bunnies Part 1" I wrote this and the next two parts soon to follow to express my personal philosophy, as a veteran rabbit rescuer, about why you should bond your rabbit and what your concerns should be. This first installment goes over the motivations you should have and the precautions you should take prior to starting the search for your rabbit's bond mate.

Did you know rabbits mate for life in the wild? I bet you didn't. Well they do. And you can find out more about all that in this article! Check it out and leave me some comments too! Everyone's got an opinion. And that's a good thing. Everyone's experience is different and sharing your experience (as well as your opinion, but please differentiate between the two) is a valuable thing in the CyberVerse.

I also have eight other articles, all about - you guessed it! - rabbits also on Associated Content. The one getting the most views, which is important to me, is called "The Easter Bunny: Silly Parents; Rabbits Aren't for Kids" and is about the oh so important issue of parents who make the poor decision of getting their small children a rabbit for Easter. Read this article, please, and pass it on to as many people as you can, especially those who you think might be leaning toward this decision. It will help them with the reality of the situation which hopefully they will consider before subjecting a little life (both the child and the bunny) to the many dangers of improper handling.

And maybe once they read that, their curiosity will be piqued about this whole house rabbit business. How did it start? When and why did people start bringing them into the house from out in the hutch? "The Evolution of the House Rabbit" explains this and more.

I've also written "How to Extend the Life of Your Pet Rabbit" and "The Importance of Spaying or Neutering Your Rabbit" whose titles are self-explanatory.

But I'm really proud of "Selecting a Qualified House Rabbit Veterinarian" which is something I have trouble convincing some people about taking very seriously. I will be sending that link to many future adopters hence.

Oh and don't let me forget one of the most touching stories you'll read in a while, "Caring for a Disabled Rabbit." This is a stirring story of triumph on the part of a little stray, hobo rabbit named Rebecca who continues to inspire all who know her.

Phew! That's a lot of rabbit articles! Well you get the idea that's why I'm passionate about; bright eyes, bushy tails and twitching noses. That's right! I love them all. But I don't just love my little rabbit friends. I love all animals and I will be writing a lot about all animals. Especially my wolf brothers (that's a juxtaposition for you eh?)

Stay tuned!
