She taught me about my insight into animals and the deep connection I feel with them. I am continuing the connection through helping other bunnies now. <div><br /></div><div>I have joined up with Save A Bunny, a rabbit rescue organization. When I found out about this group, I was thrilled that such a great group existed, then when I got involved I was thrilled to be helping too. Save A Bunny is amazing, they have a sanctuary for rabbits to live, instead of being inhumanely treated or euthanized. Then there is a large fostering community, and the end goal is to have these animals adopted. Talk about second chances? It's worth more than words can express. Go to Saveabunny.org, and support humanity!</div>Kristine and Jessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13227574627456564253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975473497616150832.post-77299097951102472162009-06-14T22:00:00.000-07:002009-06-14T22:00:07.575-07:00AshesPeaches was cremated and her ashes are returned to us.

A few celebrations of Peaches life:<br />- One day we were walking and a Tri-Met bus stopped and asked us if Peaches was a rabbit and then asked if we would want to ride the bus for awhile!<br />- She went through a chewing phase - it stopped, but only because all of the wires had been chewed and there may have been a slight jolt at one point.<br />- She liked to sit in the windowsill and watch the kitty across the way.<br />- Eventually I did not put her harness on when we went for walks or to the park because Peaches stayed right by my side and would run in circles around me, but would jump into my lap also.<br />- One day I was totally upset and was crying on the floor, and she came out of her "bedroom" and laid right next to me, her nose to my nose.<br /><br />Peaches was an angel in countless ways, and Jesse and I were blessed to have her for the last year, as she watched us throughout our first year of marriage and she also helped us love each other more.Kristine and Jessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13227574627456564253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975473497616150832.post-83212292242440903282009-06-10T17:00:00.000-07:002009-06-13T19:00:22.107-07:00Goodbye from PeachesNature's first green is gold,<br />Her hardest hue to hold.<br />Her early leaf's a flower;<br />But only so an hour.<br />Then leaf subsides to leaf.<br />So Eden sank to grief,<br />So dawn goes down to day.<br />Nothing gold can stay.<br /><br />Tuesday, June 9th is Peaches Day, as she lives in our memories as a very special friend. She was laid to rest, relieving her of the pain she had been feeling over the last couple of months. She now roams in clover fields, even fuller than the ones her and I laid in during her last few hours on Spaceship Earth.Kristine and Jessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13227574627456564253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975473497616150832.post-79701277861175927522009-03-14T18:52:00.000-07:002009-03-14T18:55:40.858-07:00Pilates and meSo whenever Kristine gets out her Yoga mat and that Pilates Magic Circle, I go crazy for it! I love to jump around when she is doing her hundreds and full rollups. There is something about the movement and that great magic circle that I just love. Once she sets the magic circle down, I jump inside of it, and then outside of it, and lay inside of it, and lay outside of it, it's so much fun!<br /><br />Gotta go work on my abs now!<br />Peaches, the Pilates Sneaches.Kristine and Jessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13227574627456564253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975473497616150832.post-90298876885573164742009-02-26T09:44:00.000-08:002009-02-26T09:46:43.605-08:00DandelionsYesterday Kristine and I went for a walk. Do you know, that the dandelions are already blossoming! I could not believe my nose! I ate so many and got so full and plumped up. Then I hopped around and Kristine had me do some calisthenics hopping up and down the flight of stairs outside our apartment building. <br /><br />Spring will be here soon!<br /><br />Sending smiles your way,<br />PeachesKristine and Jessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13227574627456564253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975473497616150832.post-55232105192612914232009-02-14T11:05:00.000-08:002009-02-14T11:11:22.887-08:00X-Rays and Caged DaysTuesday morning I did not quite give into the "going for a walk" tidbit with being swaddled up and everything. I was keen to the vibe. My favorite blue blanket was packed along with some of my favorite foods: carrot, banana, cauliflower, romaine, and radish tops. I couldn't believe the gourmet meals that awaited me, but I did not know that I would enjoy those while surround by other caged animals - dogs and cats, mostly. <br /><br />So, I went under for 10 minutes, had x-rays, a nail trim and some light pampering. Then the results to my bulging right jaw line: a tooth abscess! <br /><br />Surgery may come, but for now I am receiving a delicious dose of pina colada antibiotic in the morning and at night. I have also heard them talking about my age: I think they realize I am not 2 years old like they thought, but more like 5 or 6! Us rabbits can be a little tricky in disguising this due to our natural beauty and grace!<br /><br />Peace from Peaches.Kristine and Jessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13227574627456564253noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975473497616150832.post-29058468995276273232009-02-09T17:00:00.000-08:002009-02-14T11:05:21.193-08:00The VetSo Monday morning in the early morning I thought that Kristine was taking me for a walk. I was bundled up inside of her bunny sling and carried on the front of her chest. Then we got into the truck. Then we arrived at the dog and cat haven. "SHUDDER" So... Dr. Jerry saw me and moved my jaw around, feeling my lump on the right side and said that x-rays were necessary to find out the problem.<br /><br />I would be returning!Kristine and Jessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13227574627456564253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975473497616150832.post-48522026310951539632009-02-07T23:01:00.000-08:002009-02-14T11:15:01.246-08:00A LUMP!Today, during one of my usual facial massage that Kristine gives me, so found the lump that was under my right jaw bone. I am a small bunny (and bunnies have NO relation to rodents) and this lump is the size of a marble protruding from my face. <br /><br />One can imagine the worry that has escalated.<br /><br />I'm going to the vet soon, I'm sure.<br /><br />Peaces,<br />Peaches Madonna Anderson-LairdKristine and Jessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13227574627456564253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975473497616150832.post-54420453678227752902009-02-05T22:07:00.000-08:002009-02-05T22:09:35.385-08:00Hot days!So, I can not really complain because nothing beats the 105 degree weather this summer, but... it is hot in here! My ears a little twisted, I'm irritable, and I can not get comfortable because everywhere I am is hot! I guess the steam heater is broken and won't turn off for a couple of days. I guess it is kind of like taking a vacation to Florida though, just without the water and the sand.<br />Peace,<br />PeachesKristine and Jessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13227574627456564253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975473497616150832.post-55476085267588477292009-01-21T18:29:00.000-08:002009-01-21T18:32:15.097-08:00The sun on the sillThere is a young cat that lives across the way and we like to look at each other. <br /><br />I sit behind the sofa on the window sill and peer out of my right eye, then my left, then back to my right, while the young cat just bobbles it's head around like it may fall off. We went through that routine for about an hour this morning while the sun beat down on our silky furs. Although we've never talked, we're friends.<br /><br />Hello my friend, young cat<br />Hello my lover, Angelo<br />Hello world<br />Goodbye PeachesKristine and Jessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13227574627456564253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975473497616150832.post-30936638392260955052009-01-12T20:42:00.000-08:002009-01-12T20:45:04.105-08:00Slumber Party DissedSo last night was Tyler Laird, my brother-in-laws birthday. He was hanging out and him and Camella refused to stay the night! I am expecting a slumber party sooner than later, as I love to have friends over to sleep on the floor with and hop around the apartment with and eat carrots late at night with. Oh how fun, he and Camella really missed out! Next time guys! <br />Peaces Peaches SneatchesKristine and Jessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13227574627456564253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975473497616150832.post-33737829536220542952009-01-07T19:07:00.000-08:002009-01-07T19:09:37.161-08:00AngeloSo I have had some questions about who Angelo is. He is kind of a boyfriend. Angelo is a sweet guy, there is nothing wrong with him, but I don't know if we can really be steady. It seems after that week we spent together, we don't see one another much. But over Christmas we got together, kissed and made up one could say. <br /><br />P.Kristine and Jessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13227574627456564253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975473497616150832.post-91182725421807436782009-01-06T09:04:00.000-08:002009-01-06T09:07:09.233-08:00Tortillas and ThinkingSo I'm like chomping on some soft tortilla right now, just thought I'd check in. I think today I'll be running laps around the apartment, and doing some calisthenics. You see, I just got my nails done the other day so I have much more traction on the floor. Well, gotta crunch!<br />Peaces.<br /><br />P.S.

Jesse and Kristine live with me and we all get along pretty well. She's a great mom. He's cool too. Just a minute ago he gave me a Saltine and I just die for those! Mmm.. salt and crunch?
