Bailey and Katy came to us as rescues. We lost Bailey in June of 2016 and Katy in November of 2022. We were blessed to have Annie join us in August of 2016. They have brought great love and joy to our immediate family and to extended family and friends. This blog will share their stories and issues related to Shelties. Some told from their perspective and others told from those that share this journey with them. Notice: This blog does have Amazon product links and Google Adsense

Visiting the Easter Bunny
We have been going to see Santa since I first came to the house and I was able to reassure Katy that everything would be fine. Dad found out the Easter Bunny is coming to a local dog fair event, Mom and Dad both want us to go and get our picture taken. We’ve never met the Easter Bunny and we are having a bit of a panic.
Santa is a jolly old fellow and while he may have magical powers, he smells like a human and he's no giant. Katy and I have been herding tiny bunnies out of Mama's veggie gardens and the thought of meeting a human sized bunny is a bit intimidating. This strange bunny has been leaving Easter presents for us, for years without us ever meeting and we were Ok with that. After all, how will this bunny feel about dogs that chase away its smaller relatives? Does he understand that veggie gardens are to be protected? Will it change how he thinks about our Easter toys? What if we have the urge to chase it?
We are looking for advice before Saturday. Have any of you ever visited the Easter Bunny?

That Easter bunny may scare us

Ernie and I LOVE to chase the bunnies in our yard... butt they are NOT the EASTER Bunny.... He is WAY different. Cant wait to see pics of you with HIM.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...Human sized bunny does sound rather off-putting. I say CHASE first ask questions later!
ReplyDeleteEaster Bunny??? We thought it was the Easter Sheltie>
ReplyDeleteNope I haven't...but I gotta tell ya....I think he is one scary looking dude. Barks and licks and love, Dakota
ReplyDeleteI SO WISH we had an Easter Bunny event near here! I think you adorable sweet Shelties will have a lot of fun with the giant bunny. Wish the greyhounds could join you for the fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! If you're dogs are already used to people wearing a costume, they might not have any trouble with someone in a bunny costume. Perhaps the bunny head might be a bit intimidating as compared to a beard, not sure.
ReplyDeleteWell, everybunny is different and I would suspect that since he's been leaving presents for you for years he ALREADY likes you. The Easter bunny is all knowing, just like Santa is so I'm sure he understands why you must protect the garden, etc. Please post pics of you two w/the Easter bunny, okay?
ReplyDeleteI agree, chase the bunny!!
ReplyDeleteI've never met the easter bunny before. Was it fun? You two looked so nervous on the stairs, but I bet it was all good!
ReplyDeleteHave a super easter!
Pippa :)
