'Easter' Bunnies

Hello Darlings,

Spring has sprung in California (not that we ever get winter!) and with it comes bunny season. Bunny cards, bunny candies, bunny plushies, bunny everything! Of course, bunny season is our absolute favorite season!

However, there is a dark side to this fabulous time: Easter. We don't object to Easter itself...We are all for religious tolerance and ham! We heartily object to the misuse of rabbits that has escalates during the Easter season. As a crazy bunny lady and a rescue bunny, we feel it is our job to act as ambassadors for rabbit-kind. We must educate the wider population about these wonderful creatures and protect rabbits from harmful misinformation. 

Harmful? I don't think I like the sound of that! 

One of the biggest sources of misinformation about rabbits involves the idea of Easter bunnies. Not the big furry one who brings candy, but a small delicate living animal being given as a gift. Let's make this very clear: Bunnies are not gifts or toys! They are living, breathing commitments that require extensive care and lots of understanding. They may not like children or want to be touched. They require healthcare and interaction. They are year-round bunnies, not just 'Easter' bunnies! Sadly, many of these rabbits end up homeless or in shelters once their 'owners' discover that real rabbits have needs. 

As ambassadors to the lagomorph, Scarlett and I came up with a few simple ideas to prevent rabbit tragedies this Easter:

1. Don't Give Live Animals as Gifts! This should be self-explanatory. Bringing someone an extra mouth to feed and another source of dirt is not a gift. Try chocolate or other bunny-themed items!
2. Keep Chocolate Up High! Many a bun has been known to investigate and eat dangerous human treats. Chocolate can be fatal to rabbits so best keep the goodies out of reach.
3. You Can Never Have Too Many Craisins! They make excellent gifts for every occasion. Big baskets full of craisins!
4. Adopt, Don't Buy! There are plenty of bunnies waiting for good homes. Give one a chance!

Have a wonderful Easter!  

XOXO Meaghan and Scarlett

Humans with bright lights

Hello My Lovely Friends,

Scarlett O'Hare here to report the happenings around the 'office'. My weekend was fairly relaxing until Mommy decided she needed a new camera. She claims her old one wasn't working but I suspect she just wanted a new way to torture me. Now, I can't get away from her and her flashing lights! Everywhere I go, Mommy follows shoving her camera in my face WITH the flash on. Doesn't she know my eyes are delicate?! 

Seriously, woman! Watch the flash!

I better get use to all the attention. After all, I am adorable and a minor celebrity. I guess heavy is the head that wears the cuteness....

Its not easy being this cute! 

I would be more cooperative if Mommy didn't take pictures from unflattering angles. But no, she makes me look chubby! Everyone knows white is the hardest color to pull off especially when the camera adds 10 pounds.

Does this blankie make me look fat?

Well, I am nothing if not resourceful. I will find a way to avoid Mommy and her unflattering photos. Maybe she won't see me if I stay in my cardboard house.....

XOXO Scarlett

Scarlett's a Star!

Hiya folks,

Today Scarlett finally realized her potential as starlet. That's right; she's the Disapproving Bun over at Speedy's! I'm so proud... I always knew she was meant for stardom!

Paparazzi already?! 

Scarlett was definitely meant to have an adoring public. In fact, I think she has been practicing when I'm not around. I've caught her preening a few times. 

Enjoy your limelight, Miss. O'Hare! I will try not to become a stage mom....

XOXO Meaghan

Taking a Break

Hello Loyal Followers,

I've always struggled with how much to share on here. It's important to me that you feel involved in our lives here at The Wigglesworth Connection. You are our friends! But I don't want  my business or my private life compromised by what I say publicly. It's a fine line... As such, I'm going to air on the side of caution. Please understand it is not because we don't love you or trust you! 

Anyways, this week we experienced a devastating family tragedy. Scarlett and I are both fine but deeply saddened by our loss. We're just going to take some time away from the internet to be with family and recuperate. We will be back bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in a few days! 

Thank you for all your friendship and support! You guys have been wonderful to us and we love you for it!

XOXO Meaghan and Scarlett

We Are Live!

Hello my lovelies,

It's Scarlett O'Hare here. Mommy is buried under paperwork and books right now so it's fallen to me to update you. Today, I helped pushed the giant red "Publish" button on our website. Mommy and I did it together! I was a little sleepy since she interrupted my nap. The good news is our official website is now online. You can go see us here! I promise you will enjoy it! I did... But I was celebrating with Craisins! :)

Whew, being an executive rabbit is exhausting! All that button-pushing and cranberry snacking has tired me out. It's time for my 'executive' nap!

See ya later!

XOXO Scarlett 

We're back with excellent news!

Hello, Internet Chums!
We've been dealing with some technical issues over here at Casa Wigglesworth. Our internet stopped working. Since neither Scarlett nor I are very well-versed in technology, its taken several weeks to get the problem fixed. Luckily, our IT department was able to assist. By IT department I mean my brother and uncle and by assist I mean do all the work while stand off to the side. Regardless of the specifics, we are back on the net! Thank you to everyone who helped!

"ummm... we've been hard at work... clearly!"

So what have we been up to these last few weeks? As you can see we've been working very hard.... at napping. But we did mix it up with some lunching and lots of reading! Very little actually productivity took place at Casa Wigglesworth during our internet blackout. HOWEVER, with our internet finally stable and our workforce rested, we are excited to announce our official website for Wigglesworth Pet Artwork will be going live this week! It's been a serious labor of love to craft and we couldn't be happier to share it with everyone!

Now for our truly excellent news! This past week The Wigglesworth Connection received an award from Speedy the Cheeky House Bunny. Speedy and his mom have absolutely wonderful to us. They've welcomed us into the fold and we are grateful to call them friends! Thank you, Speedy and Rachel!
Since we are so new, we don't have 10 people to pass the award on to but we will work on making more friends. Next time we will be ready!
We can give you a list of 10 things you didn't know about Meaghan and Scarlett, though!

1. Scarlett O'Hare is addicted to dried cranberries. She will do a little bunny dance of joy whenever she hears the bag crunch.
2. Meaghan is equally addicted to Chex Mix. Loved ones have to watch her intake very closely.
3. Scarlett has a stuffed bunny friend named Mr. Bunny or Mr. Bunz. He is the only other bunny she tolerates. 
4. Meaghan has a stuffed bunny friend named MacFluffers. He was a Christmas present and resides in her office chair.
5. Scarlett loves to hatch escape plots. She rarely leaves her room but likes everyone to know she could if she wanted to.
6. Meaghan knits in her spare time. Of course, she has only mastered the scarf.
7. Scarlett hates the vet. She gives everyone who passes her room a look of pure betrayal for at least 48 hours following vet trips.
8. Meaghan dislikes when strangers exclaim over how tall she is. For the record, she is 5 feet 10 inches.
9. Scarlett is approximately 2 years old and about 6 lbs. 
10. Meaghan refuses to admit any age or weight. She is timeless!

Well, there you have it! As always, thank you for reading and have a wonderful day.
XOXO Meaghan and Scarlett

Happy Valentines Day!

Hello my lovelies!
Sorry our post is late. I've been busy celebrating Valentines Day. I had an amazing lunch with friends followed by a divine nap. Then it was Netflix on the big screen, a rare treat since I share TV privileges with a houseful. Of course, I had some extra special time with my Valentine!

"Valentine, you say? Does this come with extra treats?"

 Hope you all had a wonderful day filled with love!
XOXO Meaghan (and Scarlett, who did get extra Valentines Day treats!)
