Easter bunnies face sad fate after holiday ends
DEAR ABBY: Easter is coming. Many
families still purchase live rabbits
as pets for their children. Parents
often think rabbits are good
"starter" pets and don't understand
what they are getting themselves
into.
As a result, too many of these
poor creatures end up in animal
shelters, and children learn that
pets are disposable.
Before getting rabbits, people
r* mz> 11 11 1 , » /"v m,■•zv . > •
should consider:
(1) Are they willing to make a7- to 10-
year commitment? That is the average
lifespan of a rabbit.
(2) What will happen if their child gets
bored with the bunny after six months?
(3) Is there a place in their house for a
rabbit cage?
(4) Are they willing to pay to get it
spayed/neutered and provide vet care?
(5) Do they know that most rabbits hate
to be held? Will their child accept that?
(6) Are they willing to ensure that chil
dren under 7 won't pick up the rabbit with
out supervision? Rabbits are fragile; their
legs or spine will break if accidentally
dropped.
(7) Can they provide three hours of
exercise every day in an escape-proof area
outside its cage?
(8) Do the adults want the rabbit, too? A
rabbit should be a family pet.
If people have questions about rabbits
and their care, please ask them to contact
my organization. We are happy to answer
questions. Our Web site is www.rabbitnet
work.org and our phone number is (781)
431-1211.
Finally, if a rabbit is right for you and

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(April 4). Your childlike
curiosity leads you in the
most interesting directions
and lucky you. right into the
middle of a fabulous situation
this month. You'll realize
where you can make more
money and who can help
likely a Taurus or Capricorn.
Keep your politics in line
with these two! In love, next
month is magical. Scorpio
and Cancer are passionate.
Your lucky numbers are: 5. 3,
25.9 and 40.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). When the neighbors are
yelling and the traffic is bad,
you're still as calm as a
cucumber. Your usual fire is
internalized, making you a
force to contend with indeed.
Exercise tonight to keep stress
levels low and energy high.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Working on your external
world makes your inner world
sing. Jazz up your environ
ment with a mix of vintage
and modem and that ingenu
ity that you (who are ruled by
Venus, the planet of beauty)
are so famous for.

that recurs every year. I hear from people
who work in animal shelters deploring the
fact that the helpless little creatures are
later dumped when they cease to be novel
ties. I hope readers will take to heart what
you have written, particularly the sugges
tion that if a rabbit is going to be adopted,
a shelter or rescue group can be an excel
lent resource.
DEzXR ABBY: “Paul" and I have been dat
ing for about 10 months.
He is wonderful. He is going through a
divorce because throughout his 20-year
marriage, he was unfaithful to his wife.
Paul swears he will never cheat on me
because I am exactly what he has been
looking for.
Paul’s friends are cheaters, too, and
frankly. I’m worried he will eventually
stray, no matter what he says now.
Recently Paul asked me to move in with
him. 1 am 32 and he's 46. Do you think
because he’s older now' he will really be
able to change?
LOVING AN EX-CHEATER
DEAR LOVING: No. I do not. And birds
of a feather flock together. Listen to your
intuition. Instead of moving in. move on.
Under the stars' gaze
GEMINI (May 21-June
21) Avoid falling into the
idealistic fantasy that life
magically delivers your
wishes without any effort on
your behalf. Do, however,
keep relatives informed of
where you are they have
ways of helping.
CANCER (June 22-Juiy
22) There's encouragement
all around you and these
people are right. Your talent
needs its time in the spot
light. The brighter the spot
light. the more success you'll
have. Get away from moody
people. They spoil your
momentum.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Finance expert Suze Orman
says, “Abundance is about
being rich, with or without
money.” Today, you'll prove
that you are wealthy beyond
belief! Take plenty of private
moments to soak in the real
ization that you are so loved!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Your analytical nature is spot
lighted. People need to hear
what you've got to say, but
your tone will be key. Join
with friends and family for a
little intellectual game play
ing tonight. New furnishings
are a good investment.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
A winning combination: play,
exercise and love. The bal
ance makes your heart full,
and improving your health
benefits every other area of
your life. Regarding a social
mishap: Tell the truth first
it will come out later anyhow.
ter or rescue group. You enrich
your family with a new member
and also teach your kids the
value of saving a life. Thank
you.
SUZANNE TRAYHAN,
PRESIDENT, HOUSE RAB
BIT NETWORK
DEAR SUZANNE: The topic
of bunnies, baby chicks and
ducklings as Easter gifts is one
SCORPIO (Oct, 24-Nov.
21). Money occupies your
thoughts. Get into action.
Domesticity is one way—
use time around the house to
help you sort through your
current dilemma. The perfect
solutions come while vacu
uming or doing the dishes.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Dispel fears by get
ting sensible advice, reading
instruction manuals and talk
ing things over with knowl
edgeable people you can trust
to be candid. Tonight, you
need your freedom, perhaps
more than you need romance!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) Playing it low key, you'll
still get much accomplished
in the way of building bonds
and solidifying relationships.
Communication streams are
vulnerable to confusion
tonight. Specificity is your
saving grace.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Your work ethic is
admirable, but it may be diffi
cult to get loved ones to chip
in and help. Maybe what
Sigmund Freud said was real
ly true: There are no jokes.
Clear the air. Repressing your
feelings gives you slow bum.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20) Don't expect wonders,
but that difficult loved one is
definitely improving! Seize a
morning opportunity you
won't get the same chance
again. Love tip: A companion
on your intellectual wave
length isn’t too much to ask
for.
