Dog kisses bunny

Note: Dottie, the red heeler kissing the bunny in the video, went missing from our fenced yard on Sep. 23, 2011. Please check out http://bringdottiehome.com for more information and help me find my girl! She is almost 12 and is now blind.

Here is my precious Weber
(Feb. 10, 2002 - December 20, 2006) in healthier times.
He is playing with his terrier, Digit (the spastic one... I think he's part beagle and part Jack Russell) and DotCOM (she also answers to Dottie, she is a Red Heeler). All three animals were adopted. Digit showed up at my house in 1998. In 2000, I adopted Dottie from the pound and in 2002, I got Weber from the same pound, after Easter. He took to litter training in days and Dottie immediately fell in love with him. Digit learned to play with him instead of trying to hunt him. Digit and Dottie had docked tails when I adopted them. Don't ask me why anyone would dock the tail of a mixed breed dog, or why they would do so when it's not part of the breed standard (as is the case w/ a Boxer or Doberman). Even though I wouldn't have chosen to dock their tails, it was pretty adorable to see both dogs and the bunny laying down, lined up together, with similarly-shaped rear ends!

Weber died after surgery to treat a dental abscess on 12/20/2006. He was 4 and a half years old. Happy indoor rabbits that are fed a proper diet can live into their teens. Weber was the first rabbit I ever had - he was perfect. Rabbits can make great pets, but they are not dogs or cats and you should learn quite a bit about proper rabbit care before adopting one.

If you know anyone who got a bunny for Easter and just shoved it in a hutch, please forward this video to them. Having a happy house rabbit is so easy to do. Please go to http://bunnyfund.org for information about bunnies.

For those who love this video and have grown fond of my menagerie of pets - please pray for the safe return of Dottie (the Red Heeler in the video who kisses the bunny).

She has had visual difficulties since I adopted her from the pound in 2000. On Sep. 23, 2011, she vanished from our fenced yard. Her brother Digit (also in the video) has perfect vision and was in the yard at the same time.

@bunnyfund Any news on Dottie?

[bunnyfund]

@ginnyxwotsit No - my precious girl is still MIA. Digit had a very hard time with her disappearance, but is doing better. She's now been missing for 8 weeks. She has a microchip. I'm hoping that one day someone will bring her home. She disappeared from our fenced yard after being outside for about 20 minutes. She just vanished in broad daylight. There was no sign of her and we've searched everywhere - no fur, no hide, no collar - nothing to indicate she was attacked or hit. She just disappeared.

What a wonderful video. Even though it's sad to hear of Weber's passing, it's clear that he had a very happy life with you. His relationship with Dottie is adorable and digit is such a goof!

My favourite part is when Weber asks to be groomed by Dottie and she willingly obliges and Weber immediately flops beside her. Beautiful!

[bunnyfund]

@CozySocks Thank you. That's my favorite part, too. I've never adored an animal like adored that precious bunny. He's been gone nearly 5 years, and I still miss him every day.

[RandysWrestling]

Is that an ACD??? I have one :D

[bunnyfund]

@RandysWrestling Yes - she's a red heeler.

Amazing. Beautiful. They are all beautiful animals !

[petmomful]

This is a wonderful, and cute video. I am sorry aobut your dog missing and your Weber passing. I appreciate the link and info. because I am getting my bunny today. She is from the shelter and they spayed her a couple of days ago. I have learned so much from people like you on Youtube; I want to do things right and give her a GREAT life. Thanks.

How come our bunnies don't hop...

[Whoopdewhoo]

This video is a joy to watch. I am very sad to hear of Dotties disppearance and i sincerely hope she is found and returned to you. This time of year can be so hard when a member of the family is not there.

My dogs and bunny would never get along in a million years. I tried to make them friends but she almost ate her alive ! So never will i bring them near each other again !

@bunnyfund

If your city has any areas where panhandlers or hobos are common, I'd suggest making a few trips around areas like that on a few nice days. Homeless or destitute people frequently steal dogs in exactly the way Dottie disappeared. More than a few dogs have been returned after someone notified the police that a 'missing' dog was in the possession of a panhandler.

when my dog and bunny play my bunny starts chasing my dog when my dog justs wants to play

Dog: What's that white thing!? What's that white thing!? What's that white thing!?

[ginnyxwotsit]

@bunnyfund Maybe an old person who wanted companionship took her... I'm presuming she climbed over the fence first. Not knowing what happened must be torture. I'll keep you in my prayers.
