Bunny Friends
This evening, one of the clubs I belong to is having a Christmas party. I am very much looking forward to spending an enjoyable evening without the pressure of putting rabbits on the table or listening for my breed to be called. Fellowship, friendship, and fun - with food added in - will be the order of the evening.
Andrew is taking the opportunity to spend some rabbit-free time with me and my rabbit chums. Normally, he just gets to hear about what's going on or maybe visit briefly with my friends when they come ot the house to do bunny stuff or spend the night before a show. It will be nice to spend time with him and my hobby at the same time. That's nearly heaven.
And we're leaving the kids at Grandma's (okay, I admit it, that might be the best part).
The party caused me to stop and think about all of the friends I have made over the last three years. It's amazing to count up how many people there are from all across the country that I've enjoyed meeting and getting to know better. There are so many people that I look forward to seeing at shows and club meetings - people that I miss when they are not there. And among the numbers of friendly aquaintances that I enjoy chatting with and have come to care about, I've made a few very good friends as well.
True, there has been a stinker or two to cross my path. You have that in every group of people, everywhere, in every time. And sometimes you find that personalities just don't mesh well with yours and it's best just to go your separate ways. But by and large, rabbit people have enriched my life greatly. And I really appreciate this wonderful dividend from my very special hobby.
Take a moment to think about all of the wonderful people in your life that you would not even know were it not for showing rabbits.
Amazing, isn't it?
