“The Best of Buddies”
February 18, 2008 |
The following is an excerpt from the Leith Petwerks BunFun newsletter. Petwerks is a wonderful online supplier for all things rabbity, and their newsletter is almost always a worthwhile read. This month’s included a story from Sr. Beatrice Valot about the two rabbits that shared life with the sisters in their spiritual community:
I miss both of ‘my boys’ tremendously as they were truly God’s precious little creatures, signs of His unconditional love for us. What joy, peace, and tranquility they both brought into not only our lives but into the lives of the many people who came to our house, young and old alike.
For the past 12 years, rabbits have been part of ‘our religious family’ and especially dear to me. In due time, I am hoping and praying to again have the joy of having 2 rabbits or at least another rabbit, as part of my life and that of others who also love them…to be signs of God’s love and faithfulness, His compassion and understanding, His gentleness and patience…in a word, a tangible source of spirituality.
Animals can truly be a blessing, and I hope that you and your pets are all doing well this week.

p.s. I am also pleased to share that 1) Rex’s fungal culture came back clean, and 2) his fur is all grown back and looking as beautiful as ever.

With their unconditional love and unpretentious innocence, animal companions are truly a blessing.
They enrich our lives in so many ways, and ask for nothing.
I don’t know where I’d be without my feline best friend Arianwen. :-}
That is great news about Rex. Yay!
Such good news on Rex! Petunia is doing well, thank God! Nose rubs for Rex!
