You were afraid when you first came to the main foster home and would bite and box.  You became more trusting and I took you home in October 2006. I miss how you would run to the refrigerator and wait for your lettuce. I miss you sitting in the living room in the evenings. You are forever in my heart. Susan H.

Chuck  2008 

Chuck was the best bunny ever. Joy and Nancy took very good care of him his last days. Nancy had to care for him because he needed  special care that I could not give him. Joy and Nancy are such special people.  Chuck was found under a truck almost 9 years ago and he has been with us for that long until he went to bunny heaven. I have 3 foster bunnies, and they miss him too (the girls used to like to bug him) I miss him more than anything but am thankful we could give him lots of love over the years.

Skittles  Oct 2005 to Dec 2007 

We lost Skittles, our black and white Mini Lop, on Christmas morning in 2007.  He was only 2 years old. Skittles was a very special bunny and member of our critter family. He was intelligent, active, friendlly, and loving. Skittles and his wife, Cadbury, both love to go to the rabbit meetings and to meet other rabbits. In the two short years that we had him, he brought us a lot of joy and we we will never forget him. Skittles and Cadbury loved each other so much and they bonded very quickly so we knew it was love at first sight.  We miss him so much but he is at peace now with our other 2 cats, Spankster and Misty. I guess they needed him in Heaven to help care for all the other pets we have lost. We will see them all some day again.

Dear Friends,

In April 2009, the rabbit community as well as the animal community lost one of its greatest advocates, Amy Espie.

As many of our members know, Amy has been with House Rabbit Society since before we were even founded. She was featured in the first edition of the House Rabbit Handbook, and was one of the seven people who initially formed the House Rabbit Society along with Marinell and Bob Harriman back in 1988. Since that time, she's been a fosterer, an educator, our first Education Director, a board member, a sanctuary fosterer, and a House Rabbit Journal writer and editor.

Her work to save rabbits, and all animals, will continue to have an impact on the world for years to come.  To read a memorial to Amy, and to see a beautiful video about her impact, compiled by Marinell Harriman and using photos and videos of Amy's, please go to: http://www.rabbit.org/amy
