I know I am little late with this as the actual Chinese New Year was February 3rd, but I thought it would be a fun bit for this hump day. As I prepare for the Pooch Parade tonight, I need a little fun to inspire me.
So this is the year of the Rabbit! According to Petside.com "the year of the rabbit, along with the people born in it, tends to be lucky and peaceful. People born during this year are said to be sensitive, conservative, compassionate, intelligent, and enjoy being around family and friends however, they can also be moody, detached, and self-indulgent."
"Also considered serene and diplomatic, rabbits prefer to avoid conflict and stay far from aggressive and competitive situations. Rather shy and soft-spoken, rabbits are sometimes considered pushovers, but still, are good friends, gracious, and have lady luck on their side."
I always had rabbits as a child, they were one of my favorite animals on the farm! They were all very good friends, but not all were that shy. I had a couple of rather assertive rabbits and quite frankly a little dog like in their behavior. What fun they all were!
