Baxter! & Babs: A Dating Tail

[trailsend]

I'm so enjoying your videos! Just checking them all out now I just love the "Baxter in office" sign!

 

[juliew19673]

Ahh thanks - yes I really need to get him his own name plate - that would be hysterical!

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Ha! That's a sure thing to do! I can see it sitting there on the floor where he lays.....

BAXTER! Director of Flop Management!

I'm so jealous. You sound like you have a lovely work environment. I have great co-workers and an occasional visit from pet therapy dogs (I workfor a hosptial and we have a large crew of pet therapy pets - dogs and one cat) but it would be cool to have more critters around.

To keep the string of my "lovely work enviroment" I will post the following video's of some of the other animals we have at the office..

The first is of the pair of Zebra finches - Charlie and Miya (Charlie after Charlie Parker the great jazz musician who was nicknamed the "bird" and Miya after Miya Angelou the great poet who wrote "Why does the Cage bird sing")..

Charlie was the rescue that flew up to our 2nd floor patio office door last summer and then a couple of weeks later I went to a pet store with him to find him a "girlfriend" and he picked Miya.. Since that time they have had 5 clutches of babies (all adopted out w/out problem) and now thinking its time to retire them to just hanging out together in their old age.. If you listen to the video you will hear Katherine who I work with talk about her new pupply Phydeaux ("Fido") and has now become a crazy Pet person, and she shortly realizes I'm going to post her comments on this site and walks off quickly there after.. LOL!





Secondly here is Katherine beautiful Rhodesian Ridgeback Puppy who sleeps under her desk at work (such as Baxter! just MUCH bigger).. Enjoy!

 

[Bo B Bunny]

I love that puppy! Ridgebacks are such great dogs! They get BIG, too! There are some people near here that have 2 big girls! I love them so much!

 

[pinksalamander]

Your crazy office menagerie! Do you ever get any work done?

Fran :hearts :brownbunny

Seriously - my office is one big "Adult Daycare Center" where we all just joke about and play.. Today one of the employees brought in their 1.5 year old human baby who was fascinated by the puppy - who inturn was just as fascinated with the baby! It was hysterical watching them both have the same curious reaction about each other!

Unfortunately now that RO has moved - I can't get it back at work unless I undock my laptop from the system and hookup to the internet using an Aircard (very cumbersome) so alas, I may just have work now.. :grumpy:

 

[Bo B Bunny]

WHy is that? Sounds odd that we are somewhere that is so hard to reach!

 

[slavetoabunny]

Have you tried to get back on at work this week Julie? It took me until Monday to be able to log on. I think it has something to do with the servers.

 

[Elf Mommy]

Oh my gosh! that would be a dream job, being able to have my pet with me. What do you do, Julie?

 

[polly]

wow i have missed so much of your blog !! i think its fab that he charges people (obvioulsy not so much for the people) but its to cuts that he does that for ya

Baxter! the to serve and protect bunny!!

Bet ya would be lost without him now!!! :biggrin2:

 

[juliew19673]

Hi All! Feel like I've been gone forever! But alas, yes with the RO move I cannot log on at work anymore.. This is due to my company's stringent filters on their IP which apparently I've learned they have a "direct" connection and does not lease IP service (not sure what that means, but the Director of IT told me I would have to go through the Securities Department to get access at this point and he and I could not figure out a good aurgument to allow me to suggest that I need to hookup to RO for my job).. Sigh..

So, I'm left to only logon at night at home, and have had a Nephew in the Hospital over the weekend w/a Viral infection so haven't beenhere at the samtime I was trying to rescue a bun with snuffles - which went South, and now just sad..

Miss everyone, but will make the "Diligent Effort" to post, read, and respond to everything I can..

 

[juliew19673]

I "TRULY" miss RO at work.. wish I could just "log on"and keep up/see howall aredoing but have now started to "stalk" Craigslist for a house, so perhpas I'm being "pushed" into that direction.. Miss everyone though.. My days are not quite as entertaining - hearing all the stories.

Baxter! is doing just fine and is now being allowed much more room in the home.. He does love one small closet as it holds a number of old purses that I rarely use and they have become his favorite chew toy! :shock: That being said, when he "escapes" from his Nic pen (he's gotten REALLY good about knowing to chew the Zip ties off and then he can get out, that I now have to go to Home Depot and find somthing stronger) that when he gets out he runs into the small closet and chews on the old purses, so not quite so demonstrative, but scares the BF if he got into "HIS" closet where all of his shoes were - LOL!

Hope you are all well (worried about the flooding in Missourri and St. Louis specifically)

There shouldn't be a difference between this server and the last one, very odd. :?

I'd just send them a polite little note that saysyou have a pet prone to health issues (true enough,rabbits are very prone to health issues), and you'd feel far more comfortable having immediate access to veterinary advice when he's in the office with you. (Also true - we're a site withvet advisors, vet listings, bunny sitters, etc -- RO is the equivalent of bunny 911).

You can add that you'dlike to avoid the possibilty of afuture situation where you're faced with the choice of going to work or tendning to your beloved pet at home or anotherlocation where access is available. It may never be an issue, but in the spirit of planning for emergencies, access is prudent.

Howzat?

Pipp I figured it out tonight that the new IPhone came outand is much cheaper to buy ($199) and my BF already hasthe earlier version,so that I'll get the new one and piggy-back it to his existing account for a cheaper monthly plan ($50 bucks a month I hope) and than be able to logon at work through my cell phone when ever I want..

I tried talking to our Securities Division about get RO on the "Allowed Web" list and they wouldn't do it (and I'm pretty good w/getting the "Conglomerate Parent Company" to give me concessions that would make for my employees to be happier) but being a Global insurance company, couldn't find a good enough aurgument to allow access to RO..

I'm not done with this debate with the employer and waiting for the right time where I will have the right Exec. in front of me who needs me to handle something and I'll pull RO out and throw it on the table.. Hee-hee!

 

[juliew19673]

My "Parent Company" that "own's/runs our Servers has a VAST IT dept that has now blocked all Sites that are not "work orientated"... I have a Great relationship with the "Powers at Be" and have been told that they cannot give me access to RO - which is so sad for them, as I will not be able to "GIVE" them certain accesses to my office now (its "Tit-for-Tat" in my office) so perhaps they will change their minds in the coming weeks..

 

[Pipp]

I thinkBaxter! is looking a little under the weather and of course the stress of you having a really busy week will affect him greatly --we all know how sensitive little bunnies can be to their guardian's stress levels -- which will mean you have to spendthat time at home where you can have proper access tohis care channels.

Unfortunately, coming into work will be out of the question.

PS: Does this mean they blocka parent's access to their child's daycare? onder:

[juliew19673]

Sas/Pipp, I've figured out a way to get "on-line" to RO but requires me to "undock" my laptop and go "off the grid" at work while on a "Air Card" (so many "" needed in this conversation) all because my office is going to be "Audited" and its the first audit after coming "on board" to the huge "Conglomerate" company that we are all nervous about what they have been "watching" us do for the last year (checking your email and/or you web activity)..

So in a couple of weeks I'll meet with the higher up Exec's and see what they think of us (we make TONS of money for them, so they will be friendly, but have to obviously bend over backwards to get what I'm accumstomed to)..

Hoping to find a way to get RO back at the office, but Baxter! will always be able to come in and hang with me at the office, as long as "some" of the Parent company EXEC's aren't around..

Funny the Parent company loves hanging out at our office as we are fast and loose and still are able to bring in the "Big Bucks" but I think we are able to do this, as we work hard and also, LIVE LARGE..

Baxter! is definetly worse for the wear lately.. Need to get him a bun friend and I think it would be much better for him while I'm gone at work and "they" could just "binky" about during the day..

I realize I may "lose" him to another Bun, but would be happy to see him "romp about" with his own species and not have to put up with the "hissing" of Tbone (the cat) as his only other similiar creature..

Baxter! needs a friend so if you know of anyone who need to rehome a bun in So Cal let me know and I'll contact them to see if I can make a match..
