That is so cool that your bunnies are getting along. I wish Baxter and Sugar would get along, then I could cut down on cages.

The pictures are awesome too.

Thanks Dawn! Don't give up, it took me two years to get my two together! lol And they're still not caged together, they've been wild and free for the past two weeks. They only use the cage for the litter boxes and to eat. I am renovating their duplex into a single family dwelling (lol) and I have the whole front off, I kind of like it but I have no way to contain them. Plus, Daisy drinks their water and today I caught Missy using one of their litter boxes, so I'll have to build a front to the cage. I've moved both litter boxes against the left side of the cage, but Ookpik still goes in the spot her box used to be, hopefully she stops that.

TTFN!

Why does Newt always look so sweet and innocent, and Ookpik always look like a jowly queen? I find it hilarious

"Jowly queen" lmbo!! Thanks Shiloh!

Hi everyone!

Just a quick note to let you know that we're still alive! My computer is dead again, so I disconnected my internet at home. So I only have my cheapo cell phone for internet and it doesn't display RO very well at all.

Rabbits are well and they are totally bonded. I got their cage done a while ago, so they've been living together for months, w00t!!

Dogs are good, although I had to switch Daisy to canned food as she couldn't chew the kibble with her bad teeth. So she's doing much better, more energetic and alert. She's going to be 17 in six months, I can't believe it. Yannik is his usual sucky self, I'm trying to bring him on more walks and stuff, I can tell he's getting bored.

Cats are good, too. I have a third cat now, she was supposed to be a foster, but I think she's a permanent resident. Her name is Orca, she's 13and she's another black and white cat, lol. I'm currently battling with her to get her to eat canned food, she is obese and will absolutely not eat anything but Technical Precision Senior. My cats do not like her, Kagome will chase her and Missy has hissy fits. Weird because Kagome was friendly at first.
If you'd like more info on the importance of feeding canned food to cats, visit this website: http://www.catinfo.org

Rocky is her usual grumpy self, but I can tell she's getting on in age. I have no rats or betta fish anymore and I don't plan to add to the zoofor a very long while.

If you're a friend of mine and not yet on my facebook, feel free to add me: Diana Lee Jimmy. Just make sure you say you're from RO so I don't think you're a random weirdo! lol. I am able to post on fb and add photos from my phone.

Hope you're all well.

TTFN!

Hi everyone!
Just another note to let you all know we're still alive, lol. I finally entered the 21st century and got myself a blackberry, so I am able to visit the forum again, yay!

Ookpik and Newt are both doing well, enjoying the freedom of being free roaming house rabbits. I got rid of their cage altogether for a while, but set it back up when Ookpik got sick because I had to give her medication and didn't fancy chasing her all over every time she needed a dose. She is all better now, thankfully, so I'll probablu get rid of the cage again or at least make it smaller. That way I'd still have a place to confine them when the bf brings his rowdy puppy over to visit.

Yannik is doing good, enjoying life as a single dog. Though he's gotten a little too fat, so I'm really going to have to work on getting him out for more walks. My girl, DaisyN passed away back in November. It was terrible, she was such a huge part of my life since I was 12 years old. I had her cremated and she sits on top of the bookshelf, watching over us.
I also had a foster dog for two weeks, I named her Cordelia. She was really sweet, but too prey driven to live here. I'm not sure if I want to continue fostering, it might be to disruptive for the resident animals. I definitely don't want them being scared in their own home like they would be with a stream of strange dogs coming and going.

Missy, Kagome and Orca are all back to their normal selves now that the threat of Cordie is gone, lol. Missy actually tried to socialise Cordie by coming out to let Cordie get used to being in the presence of cats. She even started coming right up to her, which sort of confused Cordie, she wasn't sure what to make of it, lol. Missy has sort of taken over as my "right-hand pet" since Daisy left us. Daisy died at home and Missy saw my grief and along with Yannik comforted me. Now she hangs out with me a lot. Its like she's taken over as the matriarch.
Orca got sick a couple weeks back with fatty liver as she had stopped eating her canned food and I failed to notice in time. I seriouslu thought she was going to die. But her former owners stepped up and helped me with vet expences and she pulled through. Now she's back to yowling at me for food and sitting on me when I don't want to get out of bed yet, lol.

Well, I guess that's all for now. I will have to see if I'm able to post pics or not, because what's a blog without pictures, right? If I can figure it out I will start a new blog.

TTFN!

It's so nice to hear from you again. I'm sorry to hear about your girl. I'm glad the others are doing well. Take care and hope to hear from you again soon.

 

[YukonDaisy]

Thanks Nela! It's good to hear from you too, I'll have to check your blog and catch up.

Here is a test picture:

If it worked you should see Ookpik in a dbf and Newt in a loaf, lol

 

[YukonDaisy]

It worked, yes! But it's tiny, lol. I'm sure I can change that setting somewhere.

 

[Nela]

Awww too cute! I had a blackberry in the past but never posted pics with it. It's cool that you can. :biggrin2:

Hi Diana, nice to see you are back.

I look forward to hearing more about your babies.

I miss hearing about them.
