:hug:I'm here if you do feel like talking Peg, you'll be in my thoughts!

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

I'm so happy for Girly and happy for you too! You can finally have a rest. You deserve it!:hug:

 

[maherwoman]

Oh Peg...I wish I could give you a big ol' hug...

I know what you mean about hanging onto that knot...I was doing that for a bit, too...

Please remember you can talk to me anytime, about anything...and if you need me to call you now and then, let me know, ok? As in, if a friend calling you now and then would help, let me know. I don't want to invade if you'd rather have time alone...but if you need a friend, PLEASE let me know, ok?

I loves you, Peggy!! :hug:

This link was shared on a lionhead list I'm on - it is a judge that is judging a lionhead at a show. I love all the time he takes to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the rabbit...

For all of you lionhead lovers....you might enjoy watching this page over the next few weeks.....its for the 2008 Live Auction at Lionhead Nationals in May. Last year the top lionhead at the auction went for something like $1500 (yes - you read that right).

I was taking photos of Zeus today (I thought Tiny loved the girls? Heaven help us....Zeus not only loves them but jumps the gate to be with them....).

Anyway - I took a couple photos of some of my favorites..

"Mother" Theresa

For those of you who love Theresa......I thought I'd share.

I'm ready to pull my hair out. I really am.

First of all - Theresa is about 2 years old now - I'd have to look up her birthdate but that is about right. I love her dearly.

BUT - she has suddenly learned how to jump the rabbitry gate to get into the house and go exploring. This is NOT good. She tried to chase Faith (the kitty) around last night - and she likes to come in and taunt Miss Bea and Zeus.

Now I know some of you are going to say "cage her". I've tried that...for two days.

She refused to eat - and she literally dumped her food over and out of her cage...and she refused to drink (I checked her bottle to make sure it was working).

The worst part about all of this is that not only can she jump the gate - but when she can't quite make it and I'm behind her - she jumps up and then CLIMBS the rest of the way. She even climbs down too if she needs to.

Oh - and when it comes to catching her - she's fast.

Anyway...that's life here in lionhead land. I'm still not sure what to do to slow her down....I was hoping to neuter her this summer - but what to do between now and then???

Have you seen her climb it? If you know how she climbs it you can change/ alter the gate so that she can't get over it maybe.

Yep - I've seen her climb it three or four times now.

She jumps as high as she can and then climbs from there - the gate is made from NIC panels...she just uses the little squares in it to climb with...

 

[tundrakatiebean]

you could put some wire mesh over the bigger holes so that she couldn't get her feet in them maybe.onder:

Saphira went several days without passing poops or passing teeny tiny ones. I've continued to give her food and not stress her out much - I've also given her a bit of banana and some carrot and some parsley and cilantro.

I check her tray everyday....and have been so discouraged.

The last 36 hours she's been nibbling almost constantly. If it isn't her pellets - its hay - or it is a bit of carrot or whatever. Its like suddenly she realized, "I'm hungry".

So she left a message for me - and I'm sharing it with y'all...

Forget the emoticon...

Edited to add: This has all been since last night about 7 pm CST.

 

[TinysMom]

Many of you may remember George, our Californian buck. I took some pictures of him tonight so Zin could see him - the last one in the slideshow was done to cheer her up a bit and make her smile...

Anyway - for those who love or like George...click on the photo for a 14 photo slideshow...




Peg

P.S We do know he needs his toenails trimmed.

 

[SOOOSKA]

Peg, George is :heartbeat:ADORABLE. :heartbeat:

[kirst3buns]

Glad Saphira is doing better. And I have to chuckle because only us "rabbit people" will think this is a beautiful sight!:biggrin2:

Tumnus used to do this! He would stick his little feet in the grids and climb up!

For those who like my baby pictures....

Valerie (Val - the blue one) is one of my favorites...I love her face in this one....


Splash is the broken girl in front....I think she's so cute.


Here is Val again - she just looks so regal sometimes. She's the biggest in the whole bunch (we used to call her "Cow").










Bandita is the broken doe you see in the front here - for some reason - I just love the way she looks in this picture....it fits her personality so well.

 

[SOOOSKA]

Too much cuteness Peg. I honestly don't know how you get anything done having all these cuties.

Susan

PS

Peg I have a bunch of Flemie Babies at my house (until Sunday) they are soooooo cute.

I'm so jealous of the flemmie babies too - there is one I saw in your pictures that I wanna steal.....

Are you sure they all have to go to their new home? You can't just ship one down here?

:biggrin2:

 

[TinysMom]

Here are some of the newest litter (my last litter)...









Can I go now? They think I'm their mum....


Peanut (one month old) with babies - (one week old).

 

[TinysMom]

Saphira did NOT want her picture taken:

I wish I could show you just how pretty Isenstar's mane really is - it hangs to the floor of her cage sometimes depending upon how she sits..

 

[TinysMom]

For those who have asked about him....

New Hope...



I really am shocked that he made it past Christmas - he was skin and bones. Sometimes he eats 3-4 meals a day of his baby food/pumpkin/pedialyte along with cheerioes and rabbit pellets. This helps him put his weight back on. But as soon as we drop down a bit on his feedings so he can stay only on pellets- the weight drops off too.

I need to get a better video of him- but Robin was on the bed in one place and Art was in another place and it was hard to get a video of him where I was at.
