Meet Benny

He isn't Peter Cottontail and he doesn't deliver eggs or even a jelly bean. But he is the only rabbit we know and he is as cute as can be.

He is a little shy but after much persuasion we convinced him to stand in for the Easter Bunny for just a while.

Meet Benny Bunny!
Benny has a sad story with a happy ending. He was abandoned by his owner which is very sad, how anyone could part with such a sweet fellow we don't understand. After living at the animal shelter for awhile Benny found a very special forever home.

Benny is now the rabbit in residence at our Pioneer Park Aviary. He has a huge (safe and secure) grassy area to play in, his choice of shelters and good food. But the best part is he has many, many birds and squirrels to call friends. He also gets regular visits from the folks around our town, we all love Benny.

sweet boy bunny! i love it when folks use their heads to rescue an animal and put it in an environment that's wonderfully suited but maybe not what one would expect!

What a cute bunny!!! And, I am having a very hard time NOT opening that jar of jelly beans!!! Yum! Happy Easter to you and yours, Judy!

So that's where the Easter bunny has been hiding the rest of the year! At first, I thought that Benny was yours. He is so cute! Did you know that the real Easter bunny is actually a hare, and was changed to a rabbit when the custom came to this country. Rabbits are born with their eyes shut and hares are born with them open, so they are a symbol of the moon. Hey, I may do a post on this!! I hope you have a wonderful Easter, Judy!!!

I am always horrified that people can abandon pets. I'm glad Benny's story has such a happy ending.

I'm glad Benny has a happy ending.

That's exactly why I hate places that sell Easter Bunnies and Chicks. The new wears off too soon.
