Meet Fritz. He’s our happy little Angora bunny who has a lot to be miserable about. But he doesn’t see it that way.
We just shaved off all his gorgeous fur, his pride and beauty. Even though the process wasn’t fun, he didn’t sit around and mope. As soon as given the opportunity he ran and jumped and kicked his heels. He didn’t see it as a loss of beauty but a gain of comfort in the heat.
He lives in a cage for his own safety. Though we can’t explain that to him, when we let him out for a romp, he doesn’t hold a grudge for the previous captivity. He snuggles his face into our neck when we hold him and is content to be held or to run.
In the picture above, he is eating a bug chewed piece of kale from our garden. He is thrilled! I had to be quick with the camera he was snarfing it down so fast. He didn’t see bugs, he saw fresh, gourmet food.
Fritz is definitely a glass half full bunny.
If he were human, I think he would be the frugal type. Contented people spend less and enjoy life more. Oh to be more like Fritz. 🙂
He looks really sweet and happy! 🙂
We have a rabbit too – a holland lop – and I feel the same way about her. She loves to run about the yard, dig in the dirt, eat our leftover veggies and snuggle with us. She lives in a cage in our garage because it’s safer – we live on a ravine and there are coyotes down there! She’s always happy to see us and she burrows happily in her little cage – I want to be like that, always lookin at life in a positive way 🙂
Animals show us so much. . .if we stop to ‘look’. . .thanks for a teachable moment 🙂
Love bunnies. We used to have one growing up. I just saw the cutest bunnies at the pet store. Lionshead bunnies! They were just adorable! Fritz sure is a cutie too!
