Animals

Just make everything better, don't they? Or maybe it's just me! I have two adorable little bunnies called Rosie and Oliver and no matter how shit I feel they always cheer me up so much.... Way more than people do!

Maybe this is just me being anti-social, but I do believe that animals bring happiness into ones life. :)

Yep, Rosie is on the left, Oliver on the right ^_^ They are very sweet, and bring my mood up loads when I'm feeling really down!

They're lovely Alex and I agree completely... Those who don't really 'get' or connect with animals are truly missing out on a wonderful gift in this life...x

I just got a new copy of the novel about heroic rabbits, Watership Down by Richard Adams. There was a movie, too. Great for us animal lovers.

I love animals. I was the one who brought them all home. Mostly a doggie person but bunnies! They are so cute. Are they hard to clean up after? I have always wanted one but afraid they might go everywhere, lol.

They do bring a calmness, just knowing my dog is here makes me feel less alone. Wonderful companions.
