Memorial Day
 |
Hi, there. Bunya here.
Here are some holiday rules and cautions:
Don't drink and drive.
Don't text and drive.Don't drink and text (you can get in a lot of trouble). When boating, wear a big orange life vest (you humans look so funny in those). Play with your bunnies and give them lots of treats! |

| "Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces." [Link: Wikipedia] |
Have a safe & wonderful holiday weekend!

Bunny care: If fireworks are used to celebrate in your area
Bunnies don't like fireworks.
It stresses them just like other sudden and/or loud noises.
If your bunny's neighborhood is firecracker noisy, keep the buns cool and quiet.
Close the windows and doors. Close the blinds to avoid flashing lights.
Play music - peaceful, easy listening (not loud). Think elevator music.
(No hair bands or hare bands. Stay away from 1812 Overture.)
Your TV service might even have a suitable channel in its lineup - you just never tune to those channels.
If you do not already have boxes for them to play on and in, get some plain cardboard boxes (not slick or a lot of ink/color, no staples, labels or tape); cut at least two openings in each box big enough for your bunny to get in and out. They can hide in them, to further mute the noise and feel a little safer.
An air filter in their room may provide a white noise to help muffle the fireworks' sounds.
Keep them company and reassure them that everything's okay. Pet them if they are the petting kind of bunnies. Have a couple of healthy treats handy (Bunya told me to say that).
