Fantastic post. My current dog (have had many) has had seizures and 3 weeks of lethargy after each of her 2 rabies vaxxes. Not going to let her be jabbed ever again. Your rabbit art is incredible! 💕

Eight years ago when I brought home my terrier puppy I googled rabies cases in my county. And I live in the woods with lots of critters up to and including cougar, coyote, wolves, bears etc. The last case was in a bat in the 1980’s. And now I know that was probably a lie. I saw no point in giving her a rabies vaccine. If you don’t license them, you can get away with it. But grooming? It’s not that hard. I do it myself. But how do you get them spayed? You call around until you find a vet who will do it without giving that shot. It might take 10 or more phone calls. Might take driving an hour or two. They ARE out there. My dog is worth it. What if your dog bites someone or another dog? Training and socializing work. And if you can’t trust it, muzzle it in public. Rabies shots have the HIGHEST rate of adverse reaction of all pet shots. Lepto is pretty toxic too and completely worthless. I consider standing up to vets all these years ago to good practice to standing up to my doctor when they push things (flu, shingles, Prevnar & Covid shots) I do not want. And guess what? When you don’t give these shots your pets rarely if ever need a vet! Love the bunny painting!
