Awesome pictures k~!!!! Looked like a lot of work with Miss Emma.... Such a busy little girl!!! Was anything wrong with Toby that he didn't put up much of a fuss? Or is he just used to you putting him through his paces? I can't wait to vote for this photo contest...!!!

I think Toby is just used to me putzing around with him. He has to be restrained twice a day for his medicine and salve application. He gives me lots of kisses, though! I think he is learning that I am not going to hurt him by putting him near something cute.

Here is just a quick (pictureless) update!

Toby got his stitches out on Monday. The vet said that he healed up just fine and that there was no need to continue the cream applications. Toby was happy. He only had three stitches. The vet commented on what a good little boy he was (did I bring the right rabbit!?). I have been letting him out solo in the hallway and I've been getting some major binky action out of him. I got a little one on video, but I have to upload it and I'm lazy. Toby has been following me around if I leave the bedroom. It's very cute. If I am out of his sight for a few minutes, he comes looking for me or periscopes to see where I went. Silly little boy...

Miss Emma lets me pet her now. She is still going to be rehomed, but I am trying to make her nice so people would like her. Miss Emma is going to be put up on Petfinder soon. Julie needs to meet with Emma and gauge her actions and see what she can write for her profile.

Miss Bella Shedwell is doing well. She likes to meow at obscene hours of the night and keep me awake. She just wants food and scritches. Ugh.

What a good little boy Toby is.
Monsters loves to follow me too. She doesn't like it when I leave the apartment. If I'm not home she'll stay in my room and hang on her rabbit bed err over her rabbit bed.

It's nice to hear that you are making some progress with Emma!

I am afraid that Miss Emma is no longer welcome here. I think I may be taking her to a shelter over the weekend. Her and Toby got into it again (through two enclosures) and Toby has a bite on his side and a nip in his ear. Neither of them are that bad, but I can't trust them at all. Toby had to have opened up her cage, because she was out of it. There was fur everywhere. No blood, no mess. He took chunks out of her, too. I am setting her cage up outside of the bedroom so she can deal with the cat (through bars). I feel like a terrible bunny mom again.

:tears2:

I'm sorry to hear that there was another miss hap. Sounds like you are doing what's best for Toby and You. I'm sure Miss Emma can find a family where she'll be an only bun.

*hugs*

Well, Miss Emma is going to a new home today. A lady from Kenosha contacted me through the "Rescue Me" section of the forum and said she would be more than willing to take her. I am meeting her in Milwaukee today for the drop-off.

I feel bad kind of "turning my back" on Emma, but I can't leave Toby and Emma in the same room together. Toby keeps getting out and going near her cage (despite my best efforts). She will be going to a better home, though. One where she can be her normal, silly self.

Personally, I think she just doesn't like us. We were over at Julie's yesterday and Miss Emma was cooperating with Julie and being a nice little sweetie. :grumpy:

Emma went to her new home yesterday. From the sounds of it, she gets along better with her new bunny mom than she did with me. I am happy for her, but feel guilty that I wasn't her forever-home.

She is in a happier place, with other animals her color (Betsy, the lady who took her, has other black & white pets).

Ummmm.... yeah.... sure that isn't just because it was Julie messing with her?! Julie is just that way, you know. Bunnies just love her no matter what!! Talk about a bunny-whisperer!!!

It's possible she was better because of Julie. It is just so frustrating knowing that no matter how much you do for a bunny, they may never like you...

Just curious about your decisionconcerning dating Toby again... It must have been difficult for you to let Emma go and to have seen Toby's reaction to being a single bun. It is so much more difficult to watch an animal grieve because it is a guessing game of what they want to make things better.

I would have never considered adopting Luna if Patrick hadn't had the experience of being bonded with Benjamin. After seeing Patrick grieve so much when he lost Benji, I knew he needed a bond-mate to be happy again. I felt bad, but within a few days of losing Benjamin, I was on PetFinder where Luna caught my eye. It was instant love for Patch and Luna at the very first date.

I hope things go better this time, if you do decide to date Toby again. At least you will be able to gage reactions and body language cuesbetter after having Emma for a while. I hope it will be true love this time.... :blushan:

I hope he finds somebun, too. He's been so well-behaved since Miss Emma left. He hasn't pooped anywhere! No wee, either! :shock: He jumps up on the bed for head pets, too. He has been paying more attention to me now. I kind of don't want a second rabbit because I like being "his girl".

:yeahthat: I know the feeling... Patrick was always "my guy." He used to give me all of his circles and hums. I have gotten used to sharing him with the girls, but every once ina while he graces me with enough circles and hums to make me dizzy. LOL

btw... good to hear that Toby has resumed his good habits once again. That does make the dating decision a bit more difficult, especially now if he puts his potties where they belong.

Well, we cleared another bunny with our landlord. She just doesn't know we have a kitty. We did that just in case Toby finds somebun that he likes. I took some pictures today of my little guy, so here they are!

Toby's new digs. You can see him in the back/right corner.

Above view of his bachelor pad.

Squishy Toby...

"The look".

Bunny butt from afar...

Enjoy!

Also, I figured I could post some other pictures here. I went outside and worked on my "garden" for awhile. I don't have a yard, being that I live in an apartment, but I do have some nice planters out on the porch! Enjoy!

Overview of the largest planter. It's actually a small fish pond that I filled with dirt.

White/pink daffodils:

Yellow daffodils:

Assorted pansies:

Very pretty purple pansy. It looks blue in pictures, though:

Pink hyacinths:

Cute little sign:

My little rabbit lawn ornament:

My other planter is just a large pot. I wasn't feeling creative about it.

Red tulips:

White/yellow daffodils:

I also have yellow/purple pansies in that planter, but I forgot to take pictures of them! Some of the plants look wilty, but that's because I just bought them today and they are just settling in! I hope you like the pictures!

Well, Will adopted a rabbit. He got Sammi from the local shelter. She's 5 years old and a dwarf of some sort. She's cute, sheds a lot, and is very alert of her surroundings. I will add more later.

Here are some pictures from PetFinder.

Sammy is adroable. Is Will going to be primary caretaker or will you be the caretaker of both?

Want to take a guess? :coolness:

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

lol yes I'll take a guess. You'll be taking care of 1 beautiful bun and 1 handsome bun.

I think it is more like he got you a bunny.

I think I am one of the few who can actually say my husband got his own bunny. Than again we are both primary caretakers. We do about half and half the work. :biggrin2:
