Harley McGuire says Happy Easter 2011 to his Four Paws Up Friends and Families.

Did you know this about our bunny friends?

Harley McGuire is ready to meet the Easter Bunny.

The modern version of the Easter Bunny — an enormous rabbit who wears a bow-tie and looks very cute — is mostly taken from German traditions that stretch back to the 1500s.

The Germans converted the pagan rabbit image into Oschter Haws, a rabbit that was believed to lay a nest of colored eggs as gifts for good children.”

Harley McGuire is hoping that all of his Four Paws Up pals will find their favorite kibbles and bits and canned tuna in Easter baskets this Sunday.

For those pals who don’t prefer dog and cat food, like Crispy the hamster on Ranger Road, let it be green and leafy. Edsal the squirrel likes lots of nuts over Danville Way!

The Easter Bunny will be busy this year.

Now that’s Egg-celent Sedona news!
