Sage Advice

Right before we moved to the mountains, back in September 2007, we made the decision to find a new home for our 1 1/2 yr old bunny, Sage. She had been given to us from someone who didn't want a female bunny, after Sage had mated with her male, and she gave birth to kits.
She was supposed to be a small bunny, but grew very large quickly. And she also started going through that teenage cranky-bunny phase, where bunnies growl and lunge when in that mood.
We were still very fond of her, but we already had another bunny and we knew an older couple whose bunny had recently died, and they were looking for a new one to love.

Unfortunately, they were really wanting a tiny bunny, and a super loving bunny, which unfortunately, Sage is neither. Well, at least, on the latter, not for now. I know she will grow out of the crankiness with time and love.
Anyway, this couple had her for almost 5 months, but after another bite from Sage, they decided it wasn't going to work out. And since I had made them promise to contact me, if things didn't work out, they did...and now Sage is back home with our family again.

Which happens to be quite ironic, because as some might remember, our sweet, dear Liberty was killed back in October by a stray dog that knocked over her hutch in the barn. Ta that time, my heart was aching and I was wishing I could call up that older couple and ask if we could have Sage back.

Funny how things work out, isn't it?

Sage Advice? Listen to your heart. It won't often lead you astray.

So far Sage has been very gentle and loving, and hasn't growled or lunged at any of us. And we've been hugging, holding, petting and loving on her quite a bit.
