My Big Break!
Hey, Los Angeles!!! Time to say farewell!!! It's me, Goliath, the giant unicorn bun!!! Yes, you were looking at my happy, happy face for only a few weeks on the RabbitMatch website and today I went off to my forever home already!! I tell you, I'm one lucky bun. You shouldn't have seen the mess I was when I came to the volunteers. Now I'm sparkling. The mats around my tail have been clipped and my nails trimmed.
My new, forever family just can't get over my ears, one straight up, the antenna ear and the other, a lop. And I may have been a golden retriever in a former life because I L-O-V-E people large and small. I bring tons of happiness with my bunny kisses and at the moment, um, also those bunny behaviors Polaris explained to you. So farewell, farewell, my RabbitMatch comrades, the volunteers and website visitors!! And by the way, Baryshnikov is quite the personable bun too. A good dude-bun for you!! Toodles!! Goliath.

Zanzibar's and Skye's aloha..
Skye
Hello Los Angeles! The twins, Skye and Zanzibar, checking in to bid a fond farewell to our fans!!! Yes, our appeal for a second wave of adopters was successful and we're both in our respective new forever homes!!! However, it was close once again!! Zanzi's family lost her carrier. Fortunately she was not in it. Skye's mom locked her keys in the trunk, had no time to shop for her list of essentials and almost missed RabbitMatch hours!!
So as we throw out a thousand bunny kisses to all we'd like to add: pullleeezzze, Los Angeles, be careful out there!! Obey all traffic laws!! Remember, most accidents happen at home. Don't leave a puddle on the floor as you wash the greens!!! Though we're sure we were the creme de la creme (!!!!), more fabulous buns are longing to rendezvous with you at RabbitMatch. Please don't overlook our pink eyed lapins. Some of the most fun loving personalities hide behind those pigment free peepers!! Love, Skye and Zanzibar

Spencer's "I'm Going Home!" Speech
Greetings fans and well-wishers around the world!! Spencer here!! Bet you were wondering why I disappeared from the RabbitMatch website. It is time to say farewell to my comrades and the volunteers. I have found my perfect home!!
My new forever family is planning to move so I can have my own room instead of home base in the bathroom!! Mom has already signed up with the "organic veggies in season" home delivery service so I can be the nutrition counselor and good example for the family. Part time job at that. I'm also in training to be Mom's personal assistant at the art gallery she owns. Naturally I will need to supervise everything. Can't you just see me with a little designer backpack to hold my note pad and a pencil tucked under my silky ear??
Mom also has plans to incorporate my ever so photogenic image in some of her artwork. Now I ask you, was this home worth waiting for or what?? So my dear far away friends and well wishers, one last blast of love and bunny kisses to you all!!! Spencer.
We can get no cuter than this! : )

Bunderful News – January 2008
Bunderful Humor!
We thought this sign from Animal Match Rescue Team’s website was Perfect for the New Year coming up! How about we all make a resolution to spay and neuter all our weird friends and relatives? What a difference it could make! : )
Bunderful Legend!
Why Some Rabbits Have Pink Eyes
A long, long time ago when the world was very new and all the animals were learning why they were created, the Maker of Animals spoke to the rabbits.
"You must ensure our world continues by helping to feed the eagles and the foxes, for without them and others of their kind, all life on our world will soon die out. In gratitude, I grant you the ability to run very fast so many of you will escape. I also grant you many other gifts which will allow your family to increase. Rabbits will always be!"
One odd-looking little white rabbit with pink eyes spoke up, saying "But Maker, what about me? I look really different than my brothers and sisters and my eyes are so sensitive I can't bear to go outside during the daylight. I'm afraid my family will disappoint you and fail in your plans for us."
The Maker gently took up the white rabbit and spoke thus, "Oh, sweet bunny, you have a very special gift! You are all white to show the rabbits' pure love, kindness, and gentleness to all the humans in this new world. You and many others of your kind, white or not, will be chosen to live with fortunate humans who need and appreciate the very special connection between
humans and many of my animals."
"Maker," said the white bunny, "my family will gladly give love to those who seek it. But still I wonder why my eyes are pink - so different than all these other rabbits."
The Maker stroked the fur of this oh-so-curious, smart little rabbit, now called Bunny. "Well, My Own, your kind in particular will be those most blessed of rabbits who will be able to see their beloved humans through rose-colored eyes!"~the author wishes to remain anonymous

Our Bunderful Bun of the Month!
Confucius
I am the most handsome bunny boy on Planet Earth. My coat is the color of an Alaskan snow wolf. They call it “lilac” but all the bunny girls think it’s very macho. I flatten out for pets and close my eyes. I call it “Pet Zen”. I’m a 9 lb bundle of love who needs to have more room to play than a 2 x 3 ft c-c-c-c-cage. Please come get me.
Love, Confucius

In Memoriam -- December 5, 2007
Every moment of life has its risks. Certainly surgery and anesthesia sharply elevate the baseline. Thus we have lost our wonderful, precious Luciana bunny while doing our best to ensure a happy life for her. She was with us for three months never getting to the front of the S/N list until now because dwarf bunnies kept crowding in and and our beautiful Luci was a medium sized girl. She made herself at home in her enclosure on the third level. She was our diva and social butterfly. Luciana was right there making eye contact with every visitor. Her delicate lacy , patterned "eye makeup" so enhanced her beautiful dark eyes. Her ears had the same lacy pattern. She bounced around the x-pen. It was such a joy and pleasure to hold her and carry her to and fro. Even though Luci was the farthest bun from the refrigerator, she demanded her greens first by furiously boxing her enclosure door when greens came out. She chowed down with gusto, compliments to the greengrocer. There she was with her cute little face and tender pink lips, enjoying her cilantro to the last stem.
Unlike Luciana's original family, we didn't abandon her. Her body will be cremated just like that of any cherished, owned pet and her ashes scattered in our Bunny Garden. ~Lisa E.
