Awesome Hallowe’en Idea — Zombie Bunny!!

Bwaiiiiins and Wettuce!!

There’s still time to bid on this fluffy little horror on ebay! C’mon, you know you want it

Enter: The Moose!!

Meet the newest member of the Menagerie: Moose! This extremely handsome young buck was surrendered due to owner’s allergies, and needs to find his forever home! He is cuddly, sweet, and unfazed by other rabbits, cats or dogs. He will gladly plop on your lap and snuggle all night! We believe him to be a purebred Harlequin, but we can’t be absolutely sure…

Dey calls me da Moose…

Can’t tawk…Mouff fuull

Moose in: The Burt Reynolds pose…

Oh, hello. I’m munching here, y’know.

“They’re Killer Rabbits, Man…”

Killer Rabbits!!

 

OK, you will have to read this one to believe it. Seems that these rabbits don’t like snakes very much, or enjoy the way they taste–one or the other!!

Love it…

New Additions to the Menagerie!!

Well, folks, it’s been a busy week here in Lutz. First, we found a little black kitty slinking around in our back yard and proceded to check her out. This poor girl was the skinniest, most malnourished animal we had ever seen, so, of course, we took her in and so far she is doing great–packing on some pounds and purring her little heart out, disease free. Nice. We call her Slinky.

Next, we met a couple of buns at PetCo–a fixed male and a female rescued from a horrible owner. Turns out this ‘fixed’ male had, uh, his goodies still intact, and the female appeared to be pregnant. So now we have these two buns at the menagerie, and may be heading toward the miracle of bunny birth, we’ll see!! The male we named Bowie because of his two different colored eyes, and we just call the female Baby Mama for now… Here they are!!

Thanks for saving me!!

I think I’m preggers, Daddy

Blue Eye Here…

Brown Eye Here…

Oh, Hai. I knocked you up…

I iz cozeeeeee…

Are you feeling groovy, Bowie??

And, for all you Flight of the Conchords fans out there, may we present: Bowie in Space!

Are you feeling groovy, Bowie??

Greatest New Dealie — The Squirrelizer!

I’m sure that you all have seen the awesome photo taken by a couple in Banff, Alberta with the photobombing squirrel popping his head up to foil the snap. If not, here it is. But now, some true genius has gone even further and set up this site – which will automatically add the squirrel to any of your photos. It is pretty awesome, have fun! Here’s what happens when he pays a visit to our old pal Alaska:

You just got bombed, kitteh!

Adopt Me!!! — Willa the Bun

I'm a helicopter!

Meet Willa, the newest addition to the Lutz menagerie! Willa is an awesome bun who loves to push her sweet nose into you for close snuggles. She loves to play, will run up to you when you join her in the pen, and is extremely gentle. She is a large bun–at about 7 pounds–but she is very active and loves to check out all that is going on around her. Won’t you please consider adopting this lovely little girl? She came all the way from Gainesville to find her forever home–don’t you want to be the luck ones to get her??

Goosenapper returns three geese to Crescent Lake

Did you miss us, Lenny?

 

Well, thanks to the great work of Officer Merritt, Mama’s back on Crescent Lake! This is a great end to the story, although it seems poor Squiggy will never return…You can read more about this here and here.

I Got Adopted!!!!! [By my foster mum and dad!]

Ha! You couldn’t resist me!

 

Well, we just couldn’t resist this darling little bun and had to add her to the ever-growing Menagerie! Pretty little Lola now joins fellow bunnies Tumbles, Emmylou and Molly Malone in the Bunny Complex. Sorry everybody, you missed out on an awesome little girl!! But stay tuned, we have lots of other sweet pets to adopt–just check out their pages and stories!!

Amn't I a cutie?

Petland closes and employee faces cruelty charges after photo of drowned rabbits appears on Facebook

Look at me, I'm a psychopath!

I honestly can’t believe this story. This stupid young woman drowns two rabbits in a Petland store—-photographed BY HER BOSS—–and smiles brightly and posts the picture on her Facebook page. Un–be–lievable. So, do we really need any more evidence that Petland is a horrible business that should be banned by anyone with a heart and a brain? Sure, they did close this store, but they just moved all their animals to another Petland location. The same Petland who is continually charged with supporting puppy mills etc. Arrrrgh! So, Liz Carlisle, how do you sleep at night??

Another goose-napping breaks neighbors’ hearts

Where's my Squiggy, you jerk?

This story from the St. Pete Times is a must read, folks.  Seems some punk from Palmetto County has been stealing geese and ducks from Crescent Lake and other communities, and selling them to Asian restaurants. Now, this raises a couple of questions for me:

1) Why was this little jerk acquitted in the first place? and

2) Why should we ever eat in Asian restaurants that serve duck, knowing that this type of practice is common?

So, next time you go into an Asian restaurant, ask to see the manager or the owner if duck is on the menu. Ask him or her what their policy is, and, if they are cagey at all–ban the place and tell all your friends and family. This type of stuff is simply unacceptable.

I hope this goose-napping clown gets what he deserves; because if he can do this to animals, it won’t be long until he does it to human beings. 

UPDATE!!  Turns out—-big shocker here—-that Austin Corely also has an arrest for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon. So, again I ask, why does this jerk keep getting acquitted? Anyone who lives near 27th Ct E. in Parrish Florida should ask him that…

C’mon, everyone, tell those Asian and other stores, markets and restaurants what you think of killing neighborhood animals for food. And if you see this idiot:

Not only tell him what you think of him, but also ask him why he needs to dress like a Romulan. Doofus. Oh, and this is an actual quote from Corely: “They’re nobody’s ducks,” he says. “It’s not goosenapping.”

Firefighters rescue Muscovy ducklings in Boca Raton

Yer all safe now, Momma!

Man, I love stories like this!! I wish I could paste some of the photos here for you to see, but you will have to visit the newspaper’s link to check out the pics. The best one is the momma duck looking down into the drain to check on her poor babies. But the one where she is yelling at the Firefighter who just saved her clutch as he is holding her baby is pretty hilarious too. Check it all out here…

I am also thrilled that such lengths were taken to rescue Muscovies. Too many people out there seem to see them as nuisance animals and would not lift a hand to help them. But kudos to the boca Raton Firefighters — Awesome Show, Great Job!!

A Chat With Big Jake

I'm simply the best...adopt me, won't you?

Hi everybody, Jake here. Now look, I hate to say this, but it just needs to be put out there: I am the greatest cat ever, and I can’t believe that no one wants me. Sure, those little kittens that got adopted are great and all, but, pound for pound, you gotta know that I am the best bet for a lifetime of fun and loving snuggles.

True, I seem to have lost my girlish figure, and I have what has been churlishly called a jelly belly. But, hey,  I can jump higher than all my foster sisters, I purr like a wildman whenever hoomins enter the room, and I just love to curl up next to you and snuggle. So, c’mon folks, quit looking at all those sweet little kittens and check me out. Cos, you know, those sweet kittens might grow up to be jerks–and here I am, all growed up and cool as a polar bear’s cuke.

How about it, lonely people? Want to wallow in mediocrity, or hang with the champ? The choice, as always, is yours.

Thank you for joining me in this week’s Chat With Big Jake. See you next week!

Introducing…Lola!!

The Lutz Menagerie welcomes its newest little fosterling–Lola!! Poor Lola was adopted by a girl who didn’t realize rabbits grew larger than gerbils, and felt that she was getting too big. Dummy. Anyway, we saw her posted for FREE on craigslist, and took her in before some jerk tried to use her as snake food or coyote bait. So, won’t you please consider adopting our newest little bun? She is incredibly sweet, loves to cuddle, and just loves people and animals.

Ha! You couldn’t resist me!

I loves da froots!

Amn’t I a cutie?

Hmm. Red eye reduction on pink eyes, eh?

Franken’s first goal: Dogs for vets

I knew that there was more than one reason to like this guy. See the CNN article on Al Franken’s desire to use service dogs to aid wounded veterans. Sounds like a great plan to me–short of bringing the troops home, anyway.

Firefighters rescue black Lab from fire that destroys rural Lutz home

House is rubble, but lab OK!

Not so great news for the insurance company, but awesome news for the rescued lab! This little guy actually had to be resucitated by firefighters at the scene, but they saved him in the end. Way to go Hillsborough Fire Rescue! Keep up the good work. [Article from the St. Pete. Times.]

In feline felony, man steals shelter’s 37 doomed kitties

This is an extremely interesting story from the News & Observer in North Carolina. Seems a guy could not tolerate that 37 cats were going to be put to sleep in a local shelter, so he broke in and rescued them. You have to read more about this here. In my opinion, this guy deserves an award not a fine!
