As we roll rapidly into the gift-giving season, allow me to share with you a vintage story from December 2016 titled “Gifts.” I love giving gifts. I guess that’s my “love language,” if you subscribe to that philosophy (remember, vintage “RHOC” with Vicki talking love languages…). It’s not a materialistic thing; it’s a symbolic gesture. … Continue reading Throwback: Gifts

Mother’s Day Tribute
Hoppy Mother’s Day! Enjoy this classic Mother’s Day story from the Believe In Bunnies archives… My mother never let me have pets other than betta fish. My betta Bonus lived 5 or 6 years and traveled back and forth from Connecticut to home on every college break. I was never much of an animal person… Continue reading Mother’s Day Tribute
My Chosen Godmother
I call her my godmother but she didn’t hold me as a baby while a priest blessed me. There’s just no better term that I’m familiar with to explain who she is to me. So, almost 10 years ago, I asked Kathy to be my godmother (with all due respect to the one my parents… Continue reading My Chosen Godmother
Friends? Friends.
It wasn’t that long ago when I had no friends. I can remember the first time I said it out loud. It felt… shameful. It felt embarrassing, even though I was saying it to the Bunny Daddy, a man I can say anything to, without judgment. Yeah, there were people around… but I felt alone.… Continue reading Friends? Friends.
Celebrating 41 Years
You would think that the little girl from the picture-perfect family would want to be a grown-up married woman. Marriage has never been a dream of mine, in the official sense. Yes, loyal readers, you know there’s a Bunny-Daddy and it’s a solid union… we just aren’t the paperwork type. That said, I attribute much… Continue reading Celebrating 41 Years
Going Back In
In four days, I’m going back. I’ll sit in a blue and teal chair on an hour long trip to the greatest city in the world (arguably, of course, but that’s what we’ve told to call it). I’ll walk several blocks, check in to my hotel, and head to the SVA Theater. There, I’ll sit… Continue reading Going Back In
Cameron
On the last Monday in March, I paid a special visit to a special little boy. Quick backstory: Cameron was rescued with four other rabbits right before Halloween. He was adopted shortly after the New Year and returned right before Valentine’s Day. We don’t get many returns (thankfully). Cameron had fallen ill and his adopters… Continue reading Cameron
Before
Before having two rabbits of my own, I did not consider myself an “animal person.” You may have heard clippings from this yarn before. Here’s some of my companion animal history… When I was born, my parents had a rescue dog Bonzo, named after John Bonham. I don’t remember her but I hear she was… Continue reading Before
Vows
They say it’s hard to make friends in your 30s. I say they’re not looking in the right places. Yesterday afternoon, I sat on a remarkably comfortable blue couch and an incredible friend that I made in my 30s sat on the matching loveseat to my right. She’s getting married in July. If you know… Continue reading Vows
Amira
“They” say the energy goes where it needs to go—distance and time are not limitations, unless you treat them that way. I’ve done my share of Distance Reiki sessions and I often “channel” furbabies from afar, but last weekend was my first official leap around the world: a Reiki session with a doggy in Australia!… Continue reading Amira
