Rabbit Nutri-Drop Testimonials

I guess it is time to share the testimonials I have received thus far for this wonderful product called Rabbit Nutri-Drops.

Julie wrote:

My bunny was tired from a long travel and was not eating well and no poo and pee from her. Her tummy was getting a bit bloated. I gave her nutri-drops and within half an hour, her appetite was back and started to poo and pee. It is a miracle drops for bunnies when they are ill. Every bunny owner should have one in case of emergency

Maggie wrote:

my rabbit was sick as he could not eat! his molar teeth was overgrown. thanks to nutri-drops my rabbit pull thru a week with minimal food and water! i saw the difference after 2 times of feeding! he was tired and did not move much. after 2 feedings, at that night…he was running around chasing me! he was fine after a visit to the vet and got his teeth filed down. now i keep it close to him with a syringe! its in the ‘rabbit first aid box’ -2% cause i gotta force feed…it was almost IMPOSSIBLE! for my rabbit. but if ur rabbit is fine with force feed, then its a 100%!

A Love Letter Once In A While

Once in a long while, I will receive a “love” email from a breeder I once imported from. Today was one of those days that I received such an email. The email was pretty nasty and is of harassment material in nature. It was filled with intimidation and threats.

I guess with all the recognitions and publicity shining so ever brightly on me, there must be a few jealous fellas (oh, that rhymed didn’t it?).  As I have wrote about giving one the recognition of a reputable breeder, recognitions are to be given by others. And with so many articles featuring Tru-Luv Rabbitry, speaks for itself.

In the email, I have been accused of deceiving my readers through my weblog. I just cannot agree. This blog at the e nd of the day, is my personal “journal” where I write about my experience and expresses my excitement, joy and everything else. It is still up to the discretion of my readers to take it seriously, less seriously or they may even think of it as crap. I just can’t control what people say, think or feel.

Let’s take a step back and find out what is the real definition of a web log:

1. WordNet: web log – a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies; “postings on a blog are usually in chronological order”

2. it-station.co.uk – web log – A web page used as a diary or journal. Web logs are updated regularly and may contain any information that the author wishes to share with the world. Also known as a “blog”.

I believe the above information is rather ELEMENTARY and simple enough for the simple and not so simple minded.

In moments like these, I always go back to how grateful I am to have known Scott Rodriguez, Kay Miller, Teri Reymann and the rest of my bunny families in USA. They showed me what good breeders are – generous, classy, understanding and helpful to name a few good traits. We bunny people tend to treat people like our bunnies sometimes. What do we do with bad traits? We breed them out of the herd through selling as pets (the term cull is used). This person is definitely of cull (pet) quality just like the rabbits I got from her. I don’t think she’ll make a good pet either – bites and scratches all the time – LOL!

If it wasn’t for Scott, Kay and Teri, my herd would have never come this far. Yes by that, I mean that all my rabbits before Ivy Crescent’s Thunder, Miller’s Clark, Sonshine’s Brown Sugar, Wark & Miller’s Carmel and Ivy Crescent’s Haley are of brood/pet quality but have been sold to me as cream of the crop (top dollar, expensive junk). All the bad traits were improved (faster) with the help of these 3 people and my careful selective breeding knowledge acquired through a collective group of people I love to call FRIENDS. Knowledge I have never learned from this so called breeder. I also learned that the major part of this hobby is to turn crap into gold.

For those of you in the rabbit world long enough, you will know who I am referring to. I am never ever going to mention or give credit to this person because  no one should patronize such a nasty person who not only cheats but harasses at her whim and fancy.

Oh, by the way, it is technically impossible for a BOSB to end up a BRIS. Thought it would be nice to share…

If I can turn back the hands of time, I wouldn’t change anything. Having to deal with a person like this really made me a stronger, smarter and better person. I made so many good friends in the hobby just because of this person.  I won’t thank her for that either because the number of friends and recognitions speak for themselves (my guess is, I am LOVABLE!). She can say whatever she wants but truth will always prevail. I hope you do not have to deal with such a person. Lastly, if you have heard anything that didn’t come from me, those are what we call rumors and 100% of the time is not true. One thing I learn in this hobby, always go directly to the source.

And I find no coincidence that each time this person is spoken of, it will always be concluded with….

GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH!

Bon Voyage Toble!

I bid farewell to Toble with a happy heart knowing that he is going to a home that will love him. I am extremely sure about this because his owners, a nice family of 4 came all the way up from the state of Malacca just to bring him home. It does not get any better than that, does it? I always enjoy seeing the smiles on faces of new rabbit owners – just priceless!

I had a lengthy explanation session with his new owner and I hope that I did not “upload” too much information or else there will be an “overload”.

Baby Toble. What a little cutie

Turned out, Toble is meant to be a birthday gift for a young lady who was also born in the year of the RABBIT! Isn’t that amazing? It was her dad who contacted me and I believe it was a special inquiry from the start. Being a father myself, I can truly understand how much he wanted to make his daughter happy and I am glad to be of help. Come to think about it, in this hectic world, I seldom see such act of love anymore. True Love they say?

8 weeks old Toble. Still cute isn't he?

Happy Birthday to Ms. YYL! May you have a wonderful birthday!

Adventures of Un-4-tunate: Valentine’s Special

This is the Valentine’s Day message that I would like to share with fellow readers. This should be the 2nd serving of this comic series revolving around a Holland Lop I named Un-4-tunate. For the 1st helping, click here.

Also a long overdue tribute to Conkers (his comics here), the handsome little ND owned by one of the greatest artist I have the honor to know – Lauren Nicholas of LILBun Designs.  If you remember, I once used Lauren’s illustration as my blog header/banner. I really love her art very much.

Hope everyone enjoy my original free hand sketches:

Moral of the story: No matter what happens, please keep your Valentine’s bunny. Thank you…

It Really Is A Labor Of LOVE

I know the blog has been pretty boring these days. Nothing but publicity and advertising. I just can’t help it. Here’s another advertisement to bore you before I write my heart out.

I am really gonna write my heart out tonight because I have never done that in a long long time. There is so much that I want to write tonight that I find it hard to pour everything out all at the same time. It is getting late and my mind is about to shut down.

Admiration

I want to start with thanking all who have taken the time to write to me and letting me know that they appreciate my effort and how they like what I do for rabbits in general. At times, I know that I may appear to be a boastful and may cross one’s mind as a person who love to brag, arrogant and proud. If I really had to, I will choose not to be.

I sometimes get “I take my hats off you for being able to take good care of your rabbits amidst from having a day job, a family and etc, etc” and frankly, I truly appreciate all these compliments very much. And I thank all those who have used such generous words from the bottom of my heart. And I salute you because you have captured the essence of my effort and the cause I fight so hard for.

If you have really taken a step backward, you will notice I never once praise myself for anything at all BUT INSTEAD, praises are normally showered unto my rabbits. My love for them is so great because they, aside from my beautiful family are the ones that keep my heart happy. For simply being themselves.

Affirmation

If you have the time, just take a look at Tru-Luv In The Media page. This is truly an affirmation that I must be doing at least something right to be given the honor to appear on public media. Aren’t we all in this world seeking for affirmation? We yearn for respect, love and praise. It has been 4 hard and long years raising these rabbits. I sometimes ask myself, what am I really asking for? Why am I spending so much time blogging just that everyone will come to know about every little thing that I go through raising these rabbits? Why am I the generous fool attracting all the attention and recommending all the good stuff that I have tried (helping others boost their business indirectly)? Why? Why? And Why? What do I get out of it? What do I really get out of all these? Payment for Advertisements? NONE! WordPress does not allow any sort of funky HTML advertisement. So yes, I get nothing out of writing so much on this blog.

I seriously do not know why I am doing this but it brings joy to my heart. I went through a late night correspondence with one of the journalist while she was working on one of the articles and she asked me if I am up late doing bunny chores. I said YES and it was 3 a.m.

It all boils down to one word – PASSION.

I really do not ask for much for all that I do. All that I ask for are:

1. People treat their rabbits well

2. Putting a smile on someone else’ face when I hand a nice Holland Lop over to them

3. A sincere praise/compliment for my rabbits for being naturally beautiful

4. Knowing that someone has learned a lot about caring for their rabbits through this blog

5. Knowing that someone else is also breeding responsibly by not overpopulating the world with unhealthy animals

6. Knowing that the general public accepts and promote neutered pets

7. Knowing that good rabbit products are accepted and used by owners who love their rabbits

8. Knowing that someone saved his/her rabbit through experiences shared in this blog

9. Knowing that my recommendation has helped someone in distress

10. Knowing that a vet I recommended here did a good job treating rabbits sent to them

And the list goes on…

What do I really get? You really want to know?

A heart that smiles wide…

It is really a labor of LOVE…

BTW, grab a copy of Guang Ming Daily newspaper tomorrow (9th February 2011). Online version here.

P.S.: This is not a Valentine’s Day message…

Belgian Shepherd anyone?

Think Holland Lops, think Bulldogs. Indeed Bulldog is the closest term you can use to represent the ideal Holland Lop. They are bred to “look like” little bulldogs. In short, bulldog can be use as the synonym for Holland Lop.

A good example of how Holland Lop resembles a bulldog - Bulldog puppy pic taken from google images

Once in a while, at different stages of growth in a Holland Lop, you may find that a particular kit may resemble a different dog breed. For the past few weeks, I have been trying to figure out which dog breed Tru-Luv Trudle looks like. And I finally settled for the Belgian Shepherd – LOL!

I just hope that no one is breeding Chihuahua Bunny out there. Or else…..
