A very special rabbit has come to Loyalton to live. Mrs. Rabbit now calls Mrs. Nunes' class at Loyalton Junior High School her new home.

Sometimes we meet a few select people in life whose inner beauty is captivating and filled with kindness. Mrs. Rabbit is one of those people disguised in a rabbit coat. Her beauty is not exhibited in her loud, flashy colors. Mrs. Rabbit is light brown with a sparse splash of white. Her beauty is in her doe-like eyes.

Those of us who are animal lovers know firsthand that pets are entertaining, humorous, educational (they teach responsibility), and provide unconditional love. There is also medical research that connects improved health and blood pressure to owning a pet. In other words our physical and psychological contributions to caring for animals can result in special calming and healing paybacks.

Dr. Abdul, Principal, of Loyalton Junior High School expressed an interest in obtaining a school pet for the purpose of sharing all of the above-mentioned qualities with his students.

MCAH (Maternal, Child, Adolescent Health Advisory Board) Chairperson, Vickee Greer, was able to coordinate the donation of Mrs. Rabbit (previously a resident of Reno) to the school. The MCAH Board is involved with both young people and animals through its "Campaign Against Violence." This "dog and rabbit" show will be headed to Sierra County schools throughout the year.

Mrs. Rabbit arrived in Mrs. Nunes' class with a dowry befitting a rabbit princess (gourmet rabbit food, new feeder, fresh bag of shavings, nut bar, yogurt drops, chews, three bags of carrots, travel carrier with a sliding panel for a view, and more). She had been well loved in her home but it was felt she had an even more important career ahead of her as a rabbit teacher and friend to the students. By being responsible for her care, the students will learn and do a myriad of things…take Mrs. Rabbit on a walk wearing her harness and leash, realize the importance of providing a fresh drink of water and a bowl of food, recognize that someone relies on them for safety, and understand that sometimes having someone to talk to or give you a furry hug…just doesn't get any better.

Welcome to Loyalton, Mrs. Rabbit. We are glad you are here.
