JACK	Jack is sensitive, affectionate, expressive bunny who loves his girl, Rucy! He's not a big explorer unless Rucy tries it out first. He's getting more brave in time though.  He likes to chew up and destroy things, but has mellowed with age but he still likes to play!   Background:  Jack had originally lived in a cage in a garage with his mate.  They were turned into an animal shelter, and separated.  (they don't do that now, unless the pair is fighting).  His bonded mate was adopted out, and he was left behind.  He was lonely and scared, and he'd huff, growl and lunge.  Because he was a big boy and could easily scare everyone off, he was at risk for being euthanized.  So SaveABunny.com took him in.  I fostered him and quickly fell in love and adopted him.  He was just a big bluffer and ended up being just a big loving teddy bear.  The sad part though was that he obviously missed his mate, who actually looked just like him.  When he saw himself in the large closet mirrors, he would honk with joy, and snuggle up to his reflection.  When I adopted him, he fell in love with Rucy right away and they quickly bonded. Rucy is now the love of his life.
RUCY	RUCY RIP 3/14/09: Rucy was estimated to be 9 years minimum.    She was eating and pooping the night of 3/13/09.  Her energy was a little low but that hasn't been abnormal.  She's been more mellow this year, and a week prior to her death she had surgery to remove 3 infected teeth, but she was doing really well.  Even did a binky!  However, the morning of 3/14/09 she was lethargic, and so we called our vet to let them know we were bringing Rucy in right then as an emergency.  Unfortunately, she died me arms before we could get there.   We miss her very very much. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Old Profile: Rucy's a tough independent smart and spunky girl with a soft side for Jack. She likes to be pet on her own terms. But that's okay, she's so much fun to watch!  She loves to explore, hide in dark spaces, get up on high places and throw things around that get in her way.  I observe her actually thinking about how to figure something out.  She's a real smarty pants. Background: I adopted her from the House Rabbit Society in Richmond.   They told me she was dropped off in the middle of the night in her carrier in the front of Animal Care and Control.  She had a large jaw abscess, so House Rabbit Society adopted her and together with Dr. Harvey, they gave her a second chance at a great life. Ultimately, a front incisor and a few back teeth needed to be removed.  She was a tough cookie and would box and bite.  (who wouldn't after what she had been through)  But with trust and socializing, she has come full circle. She now shows her displeasure with a light box, or a gentle push away, and will seek out affection when she's ready.
