Meet the White Rabbit Pets! Donkeys, Dogs and Persians.


Meet the White Rabbit Pets! Donkeys, Dogs and Persians.

Thought it was about time we introduced you to our Wonderful Team.

Meet the Pets that we love and inspire us.






The Donkeys - England 
Biddy and Barney are based at White Rabbit England Headquarters.
Our Offices have fields all around and there they live.




Charlotte always wanted Donkeys and so adopted 2 rescues a few years ago.



But now Biddy is pregnant!!
Oh Yes!!
We thought we would a have a new baby for Christmas but donkeys take longer than humans...We are still waiting.


Next is Molly and Suzy and Teddy 
More rescues.
They spend the days running around the fields rolling around in the mud and bringing home pheasants.


Teddy has become head  of Human Resources.




The Cats in The USA New York


 



 Mr Parsley( WInston Churhill)  a flat faced Persian.
We rescued him but we weren't quite sure what it was .. a gremlin or Mogwai.
Well he was in bad shape but like everything we get off the Street we clean it up and make it good.
Can you believe this is the same cat!!!



Finally .... Marmite , name after my husband and daughters favourite British spread.
Another rescue persian we just couldn't resist.


These guys give us huge joy and love.

Look out for White Rabbit England products inspired by our own pets.

Bagpuss!



Halloween is around the corner and the kids are getting very excited about who they are going to be this year????



But then they asked who our cat, Parsley was going to be?...


I suddenly had a flash back to a show I used to watch as a little girl, Bagpuss.



Bagpuss was a British children's television-show that first came out on the BBC in 1974.




Bagpuss is a large cloth cat with pink stripes who comes to life when little Emily closes down her shop for the night. Accompanied by the little mice inventors and workers 'we will scrub it, we will rub it', and the pompous Professor Yaffel, he has all kinds of adventures.

Madeline the doll 


Emilys song.

Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss

Old Fat Furry Catpuss

Wake up and look at this thing that I bring

Wake up, be bright, be golden and light

Bagpuss, oh hear what I sing


Mr Parsely  ( mmm not really going to paint stripes on him!! really)


At the end of the programme Bagpuss would start yawning again, and as he fell asleep the narrator would speak as the colour faded to sepia and they all became toys again.


And so their work was done.

Bagpuss gave a big yawn and settled down to sleep

And, of course, when Bagpuss goes to sleep,

All his friends go to sleep too.

The mice were ornaments on the mouse organ.

Gabriel and Madeleine were just dolls.

Professor Yaffle was a carved, wooden bookend in the shape of a woodpecker.

Even Bagpuss himself, once he was asleep, was just an old, saggy cloth cat,

Baggy, and a bit loose at the seams,

But Emily loved him 






By total coincidence I discovered that the same time I was writing this blog, that Whiteleys shopping centre in London are having a Bagpuss and The Clangers exhibition!!
