Our Japanese Friends

In all the major rabbit events such as the ARBA conventions and WCC, we always see Matsushima and Masako.   Sometimes it's hard to tell that they live an ocean away.   It's so good to see them again at WCC.   They are enjoying themselves and buying bunnies and supplies.  

Bunny Backpack

Carolyn got a new backpack!

Though it's not featuring Angora, it's still irresistible.     For a Belgian Hare owner, this backpack is a must-have.
