Flower's story

[maherwoman]

Aww...thank you so much, HoneyPot! Welove her like crazy, and she loves us as much right back!She's so affectionate and loves just hanging out with us.

She's such a little gem...we're so proud to have her, and I'm sothankful my husband saw her outside my neighbor's house when hedid. She sure needed love...and she's got it in abundance,let me tell ya!

It's funny...with cats, they decide eventually that they've had enoughlove. With Flower...she just soaks it up unending.I think she could happily spend her entire life as a bunny puddlegettin' love.

She's such a wonderful success story for how strong bunnies are, andwhat a strong sense of survival they have. She'smy little tough girl! Tough girl with a soft heart.

Aww she has gotten big!! She looks so beautifuland healthy. You can see such a difference from when you first broughther home. Youre such a good mommy. Shes so lucky to have found you.

I dont know if Ive asked you this before, but have you ever tried bonding the two?

 

[maomaochiu]

Oh, flower is so cute and playful. ibet she likes the stuffed animal. my bun maomaochiu loves histoo. he constantly checks it out. soooo cute!

I indeed have not tried to bond them, as neitherof them is yet spayed, and I just don't want to attempt it while Maisieis so agressive with her hormones.

I think it'd be okay to try to bond them once she's spayed, though, andI see the hormones weaning away. I even think it'd be okay ifFlower wasn't yet spayed...she's so incredibly social. ThinkI'll wait until both are spayed...but it's tempting!

Thanks for the Flower compliments...she's such a sweetie...can't helpbut love her. I've been wondering if she was getting a tadoverweight, but I won't worry about that for a bit...I'm still ecstaticto see her eat. Sometimes when she has a stalkof hay in her mouth, she holds her chin high in the air with this proudlittle look on her face...it's really adorable. I think she'sreally proud of her nice home, and wishes to show that meanie that usedto own her just how healthy and happy she is now.

I love my babies...

[naturestee]

Wow! Look at how big she's grown! She looks great!

 

[maherwoman]

Thank you! Yes, she's very proud of how beautiful she's become.

Of course, Mommy knew all along that she was beautiful.

 

[maherwoman]

Thought I would post a few more Flowerpictures. She's always out for so long, versusMaisie's usual preference of only twenty minutes (she goes back intoher cage and fully lays down and falls asleep)...we get so many more ofher than Maisie.

So, without further ado...more Flower fun!

"Can I get in here??"

This was our attempt to get a frontal shot of what her ears look likewhen she's all alert...however, she was looking toward the side of theframe at me. Hehe..you can kinda get the idea, though it'snot nearly as cute as a frontal...she's just ALL ears when she's likethis, hehe!

Here we were trying to portray what we call "Farmer Bunny"...when theyhave a piece of hay sticking out of their mouth. Almost got it...hehe!

I thought this one was cute because she's reminding me that she's tallenough (and a good enough jumper) that she could go RIGHT over thatfence. Hehe!

Thought this one was funny because we caught her on film sniffing my daughter's butt...hehe!

And this one is a slight snuggle with Mama...please ignore Mama's belly...:?

Enjoy!

Gorgeous pics!

Shes a brave girl, going out on that wood floor. My boys wont set foot on anything slippery!

Such a good girl

 

[maherwoman]

Aww...I'm sure that's the main reason Maisiedoesn't come out for long...although at our last place (carpeted), shecame out about that much, too. Hard to tell.

 

[cheryl]

Wow! Flower sure has grown up and what abeautiful girl she is,geez i remember when you rescued her,now it seemslike ages since you have had her,she looks so happy and content,howcould she not though with all the love you guys give her



cheryl

 

[maherwoman]

Aww, thanks, Cheryl!! We love her sooo much, she's our little Flower Petal.

She's so precious and sweet, we can't help but love her!

Yes, I feel like I've had her forever...though I still smile when I seeher eating with that proud look she gets on her facesometimes. Makes me so happy to see her so healthy and happy,when she almost missed out on what a happy life a bunny is supposedto have. I was told she wouldn't have lasted another weekwith the condition she was living in.

I'm so happy everyday that I have her. Her and her sister, Maisie, are so wonderful!

I am truly blessed...

I understand Rosie what you mean when you see Flower eating happily and just basically enjoying herself.

I was the same with Tobi,he was one of my rescues and he washomeless,he was roaming the streets until he landed on my lawn and icaught him and took him inside and gave him something to eat,he wasvery nervous so i left him alone to eat but i stood at the doorway andwatched him eat,he was so hungry,but ya know i felt my heart skip abeat just to see him eating,watching a hungry animal eat is just thesaddest thing but can feel so happy at the same time



So yeah,i can connect with you there



Flower sure was a lucky little gal



cheryl

 

[maherwoman]

Aww...thank you!

From your story, I'd have to say that Tobi was quite lucky aswell! How wonderful to just happen to be on yourlawn. What a wonderful chance!

I've really enjoyed watching Flower get healthy...her fur gettingshinier and whiter. We actually noticed today that she'swhiter than our white walls! What a cutie! Sheactually makes the walls look a bit yellow!!

It was cute with rescuing her, too, because we brought her home and puther in a large cat carrier. She was so tiny, and so happy,she was doing full-on binkies in the carrier!! I would swearthat she ate for a week straight. She still drinks atremendous amount (about 12oz a day), and eats a LOT of hay, but she'sgotten normal in her pellet intake.

That's my baby!! She was about six weeks old when we found her, and is now about seven months old now.

Yeah Tobi sure was lucky that my son went outside that night to getsomething from the car and he comes running inside saying "mum..mumthere is a rabbit out the front,i quickly went outside to have a lookand there he was this little netherland dwarf,we tried to capture himthat night but it was just impossible,i had to give up in the end as itwas nearing 1:00am in the morning,but i woke the next morning to findhim on my front lawn still,i was worried for him being out there,iwatched as he ran onto the road and a car was heading his way,i put myhands over my face and said "ohh noo" but the car missed him,i had togo get Sunshine to coax him to me,he came and i snatched him up and wasi ever so relieved! his coat was awful and dull looking.My sisterthinks that someone knew i had bunnies and just dumped him of near myhouse,because it still seems very strange to me,but he is just thehappiest little guy now



Well little flower power is also a very lucky little girl,i know thatyou love her sooo much as well as Maisie,it's just amazing how muchhappiness a bunny can bring to someone's life



cheryl

 

[maherwoman]

I agree...bunnie are truly wonderful littlefriends. They make you feel like the luckiestperson alive.

Wow...sweet little Tobi sure got a wonderful home. I'm gladFlower and Tobi were happened upon when they were, and got loving homesin the end. From such struggle and unhappiness to just purebliss...what a wonderful thing!

Hugs to you and yours!!

MUST. have. updated pictures of little miss Flower!

 

[maherwoman]

Before I post our new pictures (yes, they're in the computer, and I just have to get them resized, uploaded, and post the link for ya'll)...

I thought I would mention something I observed the other day:

If you look at the stripe on Flower's back, it looks like a bunny (facing the left), jumping up in the air. The ears together and on the right, two front paws on the left, and you can't see it in this pic, but it looks like two hind legs below together...kinda like a bunny taking off in flight. It's SO CUTE!!! :D

So, without further ado, here are the pictures from the other night!!

This is Flower starting to stretch up and get a sniff of Trixie while she&#39;s eating her food...

And, of course, Flower trying to sniff Trixie&#39;s butt...hehe!!

And then, she goes and sniffs my daughter&#39;s butt, HEHE!!

"MY box!!"

"Who&#39;s in here??" (We block off the front of Maisie&#39;s cage when the other two girls are out because Maisie gets really stressed when she sees they&#39;re out.)

"Can I go around??"

Look at these EARS!!

Binky shot attempt #1

Binky shot attempt #2

Almost got the binky shot!!

More in the next post...
