And then there were four...

Hey, I'd notice!

I check this blog a lot but for one reason or another I keep forgetting to post (mostly because I try to think of what to type, lose brain power in the process, then give up and just "lurk" the forum ).

By the way Hamish the blue minilop is killing me. Ever since I saw a blue Nethie at the pet store, I've been partial to blues :inlove:

 

[JadeIcing]

:shock:Not notice! I'm home tomorrow. Drop me a line if you need to talk.

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

ray:for you and Mathew.

 

[NZminilops]

:thanks:

Hopefully our bad week is all over. I had a miscarriage, was approx 8 weeks along the doctor guesses, but he can't really tell. I've been put on anti-depressants but they make me feel weird so I'm not taking them.

Then over the weeked we had this big cyclone/storm thing going on, so that was scary. Another big low is headed towards NZ in the middle of the week but hopefully it blows out to sea.

The bunnies are all well, Sophie is recovering from her spay nicely now.

Cassidy is getting big, and Hamish is finally putting some weight on. He's really hyperactive.

:rose:Oh dear - I'm so sorry!

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

Oh dear, do you usually get this kind of weather in NZ? Yikes! Hope you guys stay safe.

Glad to hear Sophie id doing well after her spay and things are coming along well, that's wonderful news!

On the antidepressant note, I really think it is beneficial to you to take them, given what has happened. Maybe talk to your doctor about another kind. I know some really have adverse reactions, but there is one that will work for you. I know you had the same problem with them in the past, was it the same one? If so, tell them this one does not work for you and to note in your chart so you are not prescribed this ever again. I wish you the best of luck in getting the one you need. I've been there, and I was on two before one finally worked very well for me with no side effects.:hug:

 

[NZminilops]

Well that sucked! :shock: I just had an interview, walked home in all this pouring rain, then the minute I got in I went to check on Sophie and thought she was dead.

She was on her back with her eyes and mouth open, must have been deep asleep, she flipped over as I walked up to her. Thank goodness! That was such a shock :cry1:. Naughty Sophie!


Crystal, thank you for your thoughts on the medication. This one is fluoxetine hydrochloride (prozac) and it seems to have a lot of side effects when I looked it up. I'll give it a few weeks though as maybe it takes a while to help? One possible side effect can be weight loss though, and that wont hurt me a bit:tongue.


I have a couple of new pictures of the loppity loppers.

Cassidy:

Hamish:

Sorry they are a bit large, I will resize them shortly. Off to go find some warm clothes now :wiggle.

First off, those bun pics are wonderful! Love them!:inlove:

Back to the meds. I was on Prozac, that was the last one I was prescsibed that actually worked, and worked well! I had no side effects from it whatsoever. Doesn't mean it will work for you. I find that the one that of course causes the least side effects, is the one I want. Unfortunately, you haven't found that yet, but you will.

Yes,what you read iscorrect in saying it takes almost a month to be fully effective.

Paxil made me really queasy the first time I took it. Called my doc and he said if I could just stand it a couple days longer, I should be good. Well, I couldn't deal with it another hour, so I pitched them.

There are other options. Best of luck in finding that magical drug!:hug:

Just to clarify, I'm not on any anit-depressants now. They served their purpose when I needed them, but I am good now! I needed them before as I was on birth control and I think that had something to do with it.

Oops! I still haven't resized those pictures, sorry everyone who looks in here.

Things are going well this week in some respects. Money is good, home life is great. Sophie is recovering from her spay well. Mathew and I are getting along very well right now, and enjoying life with the zoo . It's his 26th birthday next month and I am saving to buy him a present, not sure what to get him yet.

Only bad thing is that Sakura now hates Sophie I've tried to rebond them everyday and Sakura is grunty and aggressive.

Because I plan to get the loppies desexed as soon as they are old enough, they will be bonded with eachother, and I'm going to the SPCA on Thursday to look for a neutered male to bring home. I want to change the dynamics between Sakura and Sophie, so I need a male who will calm Sakura down, and also show Sophie some love. I think this will work well, male/female/female groups seem to be a great idea with some bunnies.

So if I come home with somebun, this will be my first shelter bunny! I am very excited, I don't want to go forking out $40+ to a breeder for a baby bun that I have to worry about growing up, desexing etc, when I can help and neutered, needy SPCA bunny and they are only $30.

I'm really hoping for a large up-eared breed, but any bunny that I click with will be great.

Hope anyone who reads this is having a great day .

Hi! I'm so sorry, I don't know how I missed your blog for so long! :shock:

I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage and the rough time you've been having :hug: I'm glad you've been feeling a bit better recently...

All those pictures are just SOOOO adorable! :inlove: Hamish and Cassidy are like, the cutest things EVER!!! I just want to steal them!

Good luck at the SPCA! I hope you find the right bunny... and I'll be looking forward to pictures if you bring a little guy home!

Aww thanks Becca! My friend James was here and read your comment, and he says more like CL-ASS-Y as she looks like a donkey haha :shock:, what a meanie!


Well today I go to the SPCA to check out the buns, I'm excited and nervous, but I really want to help a bunny in need. I have no clue what I will come home with. I want a male rabbit, but could end up coming home with a flemish giant, or a netherland dwarf, no idea yet.

It's 7.14am in NZ right now and I leave at 10ish, so just trying to waste some time until then.

:waiting:

 

[RexyRex]

Good luck...I hope you find a bun that speaks to you!!

If you do, please post pics of her and all the others. You take such great pics of them!

 

[mouse_chalk]

Ooooh that means you're leaving in about an hour? It's funny, I thought of this earlier and thought 'yay! a new bunny to look at!' and then realised I'd have to wait til tomorrow.... But I forgot it's tomorrow there already!

Good luck at the SPCA, I hope you fall in love with a bun and bring him home.... Then I can drool over pics lol!

 

[polly]

Hope you find somebunny to love Michelle Meanwhile I am sure Sakura and Sophie would love to meet Saffy my blue fox. its kinda funny they are all S's I love em it really is a striking colour of rabbitWe just got a couple of Black foxes and the young one is really wow!! but Blue is the bestest colour of rabbit :biggrin2:

Give them :biggrin2:both big nose rubs from me

 

[NZminilops]

Hello, I am back with a wabbit!

I chose the biggest and most ugly bunny they had . All the cute bunnies go real fast, so I felt sorry for this guy. Most of the others were all in pairs anyway.

His name at the SPCA is Bandit, but I don't really like that name...suggestions?

He's a medium size, about 3kg in weight. Not sure what his colouring is called, he's all greyish. He is four years old and and was surrendered as his owners got a cute new bunny who bit this guy on the nose and ear pretty bad.

He is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and worm and flea treated, he seems nice and healthy so far.

When I was checking all the bunnies out, he was having a major hissy-fit and throwing his food dish around, so he seems to be a spunky boy. He's in the hallway right now and I can hear him thumping about and scratching at the doors.

 

[RexyRex]

Yay!! A new bunner! Wascally wabbit! He's not ugly lol, he's adorable! He looks like a Wally to me.

 

[mouse_chalk]

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

:inlove:

He's not ugly at all! I love him! He reminds me of Barney, with his grumpy-looking face!

And I LOVE the picture of him running... Sounds like a demanding human owner! Like all bunnies lol!

Wanna see more pics! :biggrin2:

 

[NZminilops]

Aww thanks guys!


Well I must say that he should be named The Big Bad Wolf as he seems incredibly aggressive :?. He was alright for a while then I tried to see if he would like Sakura, he just went mental. Poor little Kura was so frightened, she zoomed right up my front to sit on my shoulder, while the new bunny continued attacking me and grunting and snorting for ages afterwards . Hopefully he's going to chill out and eventually try and make friends.

Then that shelter must have been full of really beautiful bunnies because he is gorgeous! Do you have any idea on how old he is? He looks really soft...:inlove:
