Herman and Winnie

[katt]

oh, i am on a photo streak tonight (found some discs with old photos on it and i have to share!)

bruno, my flemish giant buck from when i bred, he now lives at a winery as a beloved pet!

Queen Of Hearts (aka queen) she had a heart shaped black spot on each side! another bunny from my breeding days!

some artwork i did:

and these have been posted on another thread, but i wanted them here also:

my trixie:

and a drawing i did of her a few days after she left me. . . it now hangs above winnie's cage so i won't forget her:

[Jess_sully]

Wow, you had some gorgeous bunnies! Did you have a hard time giving up the flemmie? I would've

 

[katt]

bruno was so hard to give up! (well, i had three of them: bruno (the photot), soulfood (a massive white doe), and soy( a very playful white doe)) they are such wonderfull rabbits! but bruno was really hard to give up, he was my baby. . .he use to take naps with me in a huge rope hammock we use to have, just lay there and stretch out along my side and sleep for hours during the summer. . .

if you know anything about breeders in michigan, i got soulfood and soy from vic bloom. . .that is a cool guy, but very hard to get rabbits from. . .every time i would tell people who i got them from they would be like What? how did you get them? you must have taken them in the middle of the night. . .the man has like 500+ rabbits but has a very hard time parting with any of them (it took us to talk to him at 3 different shows, multiple phone calls, then when we got there he took us to all of his 5 barns to show us each ofhis favorite rabbits, all the while he had me helping him with watering them. . .it was rather comical. . .but totally worth it!).

the hardest part of giving bruno up was 2 weeks later when trixie died. i was going to keep him and trixie, but decided in the end to keep my flemish trio together because i knew he was going to a great home. . .so i was semi-distraught about losing bruno when trixie died and it was terrible because i lost both of my favorite rabbits within 2 weeks. . .

morning wake up: herman style!

so i am sleeping, herman is in his new NIC cage and we are still working out minor issues with it. . .one being when to zip tie and were (we have discovered that placing a zip tie on all the seams is the best idea)

well, i forgot to zip-tie a grid down. . .and it was a weak one. . .so i am sleeping and all the sudden i feel this PLOP! on the pillow i am partially sleeping on, open my eyes to a bunny licking my nose. . .herman decided to pay me a visist! i guess he managed to get out of his cage, but couldn't figure out how to go back in to use the litterbox. . .so i returned him for him to dash to the pan, pee, then ran back to me to give me a good-morning chin on my hands that were attempting to replace this grid. . .

who needs an alarm clock when you have a herman?

TRIP TO THE FAIR!

our local fair is going on right now, and normally i would be there showing, but i am now to old! i went tonight with a coworker and will be going again tomorrow with my family! i took some photos of the animals!

first the cow barn, were i found this little cutie! sorry for the blurry photo, there was a 3 year old running around and thought it was a grand idea to whip his chocolately hands on anyone near him. . .while his parents sat there laughing :Xso i snapped a photo and continued on

and next was the lamb barn! this little guy was named "jump" and what isn't in this photo is that about 1 minutes before jump was busy chowing down on his owner's jacket she left too close to the pen. . .bad jump, bad!

now the llama barn! what a bunch of cool animals!

then the rabbit barn, i have TONS of rabbit photos, but none turned out to good, i will get more tomorrow as the bunny barn was full of cuties (i *might* even bring on home. . .haven't decided yet. . .there were mini rex, dutch and satins babys for sale all over the place!). but here is a cute lionhead that i saw!

and last was the pig barn. i have never seen a pig this color before!

and my fav. photo from the trip! this piggy wanted out SO bad! he was giving hte "i am cute, so you should let me out now" face!

 

[SOOOSKA]

Great pictures.

I love the pig one. I collect piggy stuff and if I could I'd have a Pot Belly pig, however i doubt my neighbor would approve, he even hates the squirrels in our yards.

[align=center]bonding date #4[/align]


[align=center]*during the 2 weeks after herman was fixed we started having herman issues, nothing big, but he dropped a lot of weight. when i talked to my vet we decided to give him some time to destress as he was fixed then we had that really REALLY hot spell. the idea was to not bring him to the vet if he didn't need to as herman has some car issues (MAJOR car issues) sure enough once the heat died down and he finished healing he was back to his hungry self and i am just saying this so if he looks a little thin in photos, you know why*[/align]


[align=left]it was herb night for the rabbits, they LOVE herb night as they get a lot of their favorites (basil, dill,marigolds, parley, ect) not only that, but they got grapes too![/align]


[align=left]herman thought maybe taking winnie a flower would start the date out great:[/align]


[align=left]

[/align]


[align=left]but winnie didn't seem too impressed[/align]


[align=left]

[/align]


[align=left]so, herman thought dinner was great[/align]


[align=left]

[/align]


[align=left]winnie thought it looked good, but as a lady thought that a pile of basil might ruin her figure[/align]


[align=left]

[/align]


[align=left]but the food smelled so good "i'll have to do 10 laps in my cage tomorrow to work this date off!"[/align]


[align=left]

[/align]


[align=left]"is it really worth it to me?" winnie thought, contemplating if she liked food or her shapely bunny-theighs more[/align]


[align=left]

[/align]


[align=left]"oh, maybe just a nipple" she decided[/align]


[align=left]

[/align]


[align=left]herman couldn't figure it out, why wasn't she pigging out, her cage is right next to his, it isn't like he has never seen her eat before![/align]


[align=left]

[/align]

[align=left]but by the time winnie decied to let go and eat her heart out, she discovered herman had eaten it all![/align]

[align=left]

[/align]

[align=left]she gave him and evil look "how could he do that?" she thought[/align]

[align=left]

[/align]

[align=left]but herman didn't understand. . .and blankly stated "what is there something on my face?"[/align]

[align=left]
