What's new

Well this worked out well, having the boys in the house. It's been so cold they would have been inside most of the winter anyway. Gerald is well. He is old. At the last visit the doc did 2 x-rays. 1 to see if he had a bad tooth root (he didn't). 2nd was a full body because the doc thought there may have been a blockage in his gut (there wasn't). But we learned that Gerald does have arthritis. Makes me wonder if the others have it too. Another issue is that Gerald now has a noticeably crooked or droopy face. Ever since he was cut opened (many times) to have pus drained. So is the droop a result of being cut opened and stitched up, or something else. It's not his entire face; I got a pic of it. So the side that is not drooping is the side that was cut and stitched. He also has some white, scaly patches on his ear. I'm not taking him in to have it, or the face thing checked out. Like I said, he is old. He is eating, drinking, pooping fine, acts and moves fine.

For those of you that haven't heard yet, Hazel decided to stay. She lives in our living room. She is in a dog pen during the day and at night. The x-pen is used as a blockade. 1st it keeps JT in the kitchen when it is his playtime. He goes back in his pen and it is moved so Hazel gets the run of the living room. Unfortunately she has already learned how to move the pen and got out and bit Meadow on the nose. Not bad, tiny bit of blood.

Phone books are F U N!

I gave Meadow a phone book. She freakin has a blast tearing it up. Only problem is that the bottom of her paws are GREY.


"There MUST be a carrot delivery company listed here."

"I have looked for hours, I'm tired, and no carrot delivery guy!"
"Guess I'll look again later..."

More buns off to the shelter tomorrow

Another drive to Seattle. I always bring a box of Klenex. You will be missed Ruby and kids.


Yes, the one in the middle is eating while lying down.


Ruby likes to play in the towels.

Where to start

A few nights ago hubby and I went to take care of the Houseful buns. I'm driving up the hill and just before their driveway: "oh shit". Hubby: "what". Me: "cows!". 3 cows on the road, blocking the driveway. Obviously escaped from farm nearby. I slowly moved my car toward the house and they eventually took off. Good thing, I wouldn't have gotten out of the car if they stuck around. I always tell RG and BL I would be happy to trade my rotten neighbors for their stinky (cow) neighbors...

That night we took care of Houseful's 9 rabbits and our 13 rabbits. Took about 2 hours.
Yes, we now have 13. Despite the fact that I said we are full. When I got the call from the Humane Society asking if I would pick up a momma bun and 4 babies, of course I said yes. Geez. These poor rabbits were all crammed in a very small cage. The owner got the momma, Ruby, 2 months ago, not knowing that Ruby was pregnant! Babies were born a month ago. All are not healthy. Momma has not been fed properly, so her milk hasn't been the best for the babies. When I got them one baby had a huge amount of poop stuck to it's underside. I don't think it was able to pee or poop. Got that all cleaned up and baby is fine now. Another baby has another problem with that area down there. I thought it was getting better, but it's not. He/she will go to the vet Monday. Hopefully the Humane Society will pay for it...geez.

Today we took a trip to Value Village. Got lots of new towels for the buns and I found a great rug for Meadow. Meadow has successfully destroyed her nice sheets. I have even put large bricks in the corners; she can move the bricks. She is a destructive one, just like her son, JT.

The hotel is full

Foster #2 arrived tonight. Brought to the shelter this afternoon. Supposedly someone found her a few weeks ago and decided not to keep her.

Why don't I believe that.

She looks healthy. Needs her nails cut. Is a bit chubby. Cute. Not afraid like many of the buns that come here. I put her in the living room. The only room that has no bunny in it is our bedroom...

No more, we are full!

Foster #1 has been named Hazel. No reason except that is the name that just came to hubby. That is how the buns get their names. Name has to come to us.
