Rescued

It wasn’t fair. I was thrown out of the house of the two-legged creatures because I defended myself. Everything was fine when I was a baby, but when I started to grow and left my poops around, I got yelled at. Where was I supposed to leave them? I looked for hay or grass, and never found any. All I had in my little cage was some rough brown stuff and some pieces of sweet things with many colors that tasted good, but made my belly ache and my bottom all mushy. So I ran around when I was able to get out of the cage, and left my poops in corners, which they always found. Then they would get angry and make screechy noises which were hurtful to my ears and scared me.

Then the two smaller two-legged beasts made my life miserable. Why didn’t they leave me with the other furry four-legged creatures and the big furry creature who would let me suck sweet liquid from her, several times a day? Why did I have to stay with the two-legged animals, which were so much bigger than I was, and didn’t play like I did? The two-legged creatures that were smaller, sometimes played nice. But then they started pulling my ears and playing with my tail. I don’t like anyone touching my backside, and one day I couldn’t take it anymore. I turned and nipped the two-legger on his hand, with my teeth. I didn’t press down too hard, just hard enough to let him know I was annoyed, and to stop him from doing it again. But the result wasn’t what I expected. When I bit down, I heard a loud “Yow! Mommeeeee” and the big two-legger they called “Mommy” was taking the little monster in her arms and making soft loving sounds to him.

I don’t know how much time passed before I found myself on hard ground, surrounded by lots of two-legged creatures. So I found a little spot where I felt safe and wondered where I would get food, or find a place to sleep, away from the big creatures. Suddenly, I heard a sweet sound, “Awwww” from one of the big monsters. I looked up and saw two big creatures looking down at me. One looked like “Mommy” of the house I used to live in, and the other creature looked like the one they called “Daddy”. The mommy-creature bent down and put her hands on my head, and the daddy-creature went away. “Daddy” came back with some delicious orange food with green food coming out of the top. The “mommy” had a little thing next to her ear, and was making sounds. She kept going “aaaawww” and petting me. It was getting darker outside, but the “mommy” and “daddy” stayed with me, until another “mommy” came and put me in a soft, comfortable little room and I went into a bigger case which moved. I watched as the first “mommy” and “Daddy” slipped away, and looked over to see my new “mommy” sitting next to me. Every few minutes she made that soft cooing sound to me, and I dropped off to sleep. When I woke, I was in a nice warm place, on a nice soft ground, much like the one in my first family of two-legged creatures. I was put into a metal cage with a box full of hay and lots of green things that were delicious. I had a big bowl of water, and brown pellets that didn’t make my belly hurt. And surrounding me were cages full of other creatures like me. They all looked calm and happy.

I didn’t stay with the “mommy” very long, whom they called “Cindy”. i am living with my “mommy” whom they call “Valerie”, but to me she is “mommy”. There are no four-legged creatures that look like me, and nobody calls Valerie “mommy”, which means there are no little two-legged monsters to torture me. There is no real “daddy” in this house, but there have been a few different “daddies”, although nobody calls them “daddy”. Everybody is really nice to me. Two times a day, I get green stuff, pellets and water. I poop in my hay box, which gets cleaned every day.

My “mommy” leaves every day in the morning, but she always comes back when it gets darker. A light goes on when it gets darker. You see, rabbits like to stay low to the ground, and she respects that. She sits on the soft ground next to me, and runs her hand from head to toe to pet me and never hurts me. Respect for living things and for everybody’s differences is what we all need and that is what I have.
