LMAO!!!! :D That was hilarious, I was like?!?!?! OMG what is she trying to tell me?! haha!
Thank you though, I got some of that info from google though, so thank you google for being there for me in my time of need :bunnieskiss
 
I don't think any of us could blame you for not wanting to get Ellie spayed. If it had happened to me, I don't think I would be able to do it again.

Thanks Katie, for the info! I think I'll give it a try and see how I like it.

I would be so afraid to spay/neuter as well. I'd know objectively it would probably be ok, but it's like telling someone who has been bitten by a shark to get back in the ocean...Whatever you do, I think anyone can understand.

You're welcome! I got some dog shampoo with coconut oil in it and its pretty awesome!

Eeeee!!!! Hehehe! Buster is drinking water! Sounds like tiny wet squeaky shoes walking lol. Sorry I know that was random.
 
I'm going to try this out, to get it all out in the most efficient way possible; hahaha. I'm going to try not to ramble today, yeah right!

1. Last night, I gave my son a bath a little later than usual, because it was actually bedtime. haha. I didn't want to put him down with wet hair, so I had to blow dry him. I sat in his room and turned the blow dryer on and he ran away, he was terrified of it! hahah. But, my son CAN NOT RESIST GIVING A HIGH FIVE! That is his kryptinite. At first he wouldn't come to me, even though I asked him for a high five. He could still see the blow dryer. He would run up to me and stay like 3 feet away and stop. He would laugh and laugh and hold his hand up, but not close enough to reach. I did it like 10 times, he would not come to me! He knew I was going to catch him! hahahaha. He's so smart. So I hid the blow dryer and asked him for a high five, he runs over to me saying "high fives, high fives" with his little out stretched hand. I grabbed him and blew his hair dry, he cried the whole time. haha. It was so sad, but so funny. I laughed until I cried, my husband laughed too because AJ wouldn't come to me. It was hilarious.

2. I would LOVE to have a friend for Ellie, but that will never happen. The only time I'll get another bunny is when Ellie is like 10 and she is on her last leg and I know I won't be able to ever live without a bunny again. I'll die with a rabbit, I'm sure. I have to have one in my life at all times, its a must! haha. Actually, I don't know if never getting her a friend is an option, because I don't know if she is going to be okay on her own. Like with Foo, she was fine. She loved me and I loved her and I was all she needed, but Ellie, I'm not sure. She may need a friend, but I just don't think I could go through with having her spayed. I really really thought Foo would make it through and be okay and everything would have been perfect, but that definitely didn't happen. So I don't know if I could send Ellie down that road and be so worried she wouldn't make it back. So she'll probably always be on her own. I hope to introduce her to my son soon, once she's isn't as scared of everything, so maybe her and my son can be friends and she'll have someone other than me to depend on for love. Ya know?

3. It is so cold out here. Its been sleeting on and off all morning and my house is freezing. Poor little Ellie, had to stay in the cold kitchen last night. I left her out of the cage though, so when I got up and went to check on her this morning she had warm ears. So she obviously found a warm place to sleep. Now she is in her cage, because I have a cat that I just can't trust, its Smokey. Smokey is being a total hunter and she keeps chasing Ellie. I just can't handle it. Ellie is so small compared to Smokey, Ellie is MAYBE 2 lbs and Smokey is 15! Ahhh, I love my cats, but I really dislike them sometimes. I hope Ellie gets bigger and she can chase the cats around instead of the other way around.

4. I made an appointment to take my dog to the groomer, but rescheduled because of the weather. Because here in the south, we are NOT equipped for frozen precipitation. I mean, the schools are closing early because there is a CHANCE of frozen something. Not even snow. They're planning way ahead. ahaha. It is like 26*F thats freaking cold for me! I just have no tolerance for cold. I went to Pittsburgh the Christmas before last and I was miserable up there, and it was a mild winter for them. Ugh, I hate cold. Anyway, I called my mom about told her I was taking the dog to the groomer and she was like, "why? I hate groomers...blah blah." I told her, "I have 55 lbs worth of dog with two coats, that smells like a dead sea otter. The last time I gave him a bath in my tub, his fur clogged up the drain for 3 months and I had to use serious chemicals to UNclog that drain! I will pay someone to wash the dog!" hahahaha. I'm only taking him for bath, no nail clipping or shaving since he's already short haired. She is just so anti-groomer. Ugh, she's a pain. I also told her if she wanted to wash him in her tub, she could. haha. So his appointment is on Monday morning. I told Woody the dog that if he got a bath and smelled really good, he could go back to sleeping in bed with us, and he could get on the couch again. He looked really happy. Plus the last time I spent the time and effort washing him, the next night he went and killed something and came back covered in blood. Jerk!

5. Now, I'm off to my BFF's house to spend the day with her, her mom, and Aunt Ann! hahah. I'm so excited. Aunt Ann gets to see my son for the first time since he was a few months old, how exciting! Plus, they have central heat and thats a plus when its super cold like this. haha. My fire has warmed up the house, but not to the 80 like I like it, jk. I would die in 80* of fire heat. 70* would be nice though.
Then tomorrow my son is going to stay with my dad and his girlfriend for the afternoon into the night, I'm so excited about that! I need a break from my child. I haven't been away from him in weeks. And my husband and I have a lot of stuff to do this weekend, so hopefully without him here, we can get it done. Those of you with kids know what I'm talking about, haha. Sometimes you just need a day/night away! Especially when you spend as much time with your kid as I do. 24/7. Thats a lot of time. I love him, but jeez.
Hahahah and today I get to sherk all my household duties and spend the day with friends. Its so nice. If only it were acceptable in America to drink in the middle of the day, I would get a bottle of wine; but it isn't. :'( Damn it, I wish I lived in Europe! I'm going to put on my Bronx accent and let me alter-ego Rhonda with an RH like Rhode Island come out. (Yes, thats real. Story: when my BFF and I were teenagers we would prank call people and go into our alter-ego voices. She was Patti, from Brooklyn and I was Rhonda. hahaha. It was so bad, but so funny. We would have these serious conversations with people in these voices and now when we're together we go a little nuts. Its pretty funny. My husband loves it! Her whole family is from the Bronx so they all have the accents. Its great. I'm a southerner who was basically raised by total yankee's.)

Yes, its still a rambling day.
And now I'm done. Happy Friday everyone!

Fin.

I feel like I've missed so much!
Ok, so let me say I haven't watched Parenthood... But I might start. I've heard it's funny.
Next, I LOVE the smell of cilantro! I also have the pineapple and cilantro Yankee candle. Next to my scentsy, it's my favorite.
And omg Ellie has gotten so big! I mean, she's still little, but man has she grown!
 
Well, I started this and copied it to look at something else and then copied the other thing so I´ve lost what I´ve written....does that make sense.

It´s so funny with your son being scared stiff of the hairdryer and you drying his hair with him crying....you´re such a scary mommy. My buns are scared of the noise of it, wouldn´t like to try drying them with it.

I can so understand why you wouldn´t want to spay Ellie so it´s not going to be an option getting her a friend. She seems like miss independent so she may be OK on her own and I´m sure your son and her will be really special friends as they´re growing up. I thought of Foo today as I was reading some funny things on another page and there was a reference to the Bunny Foo Foo nursery rhyme....ahhhhh

Scary cats and even scarier bunny.....haha imagine Ellie chasing the cat.

I used to take my little dog to the groomer as she used to get shaved every summer as she had quite a thick coat. When I went to pick her up, she always looked really small without all that hair and so much younger. I used to love the smell of the dog shampoo they used to use, she used to smell lovely for days.

And here am I thinking it´s cold here.....glad we don´t have freezing temperatures, i don´t think I could stand it.

It´ll be nice for you to have a break and do some girly time. You always go back refreshed and feeling better about everything. What a bummer not being able to drink in the day....why is that ??? is it some unwritten rule or is it frowned on ?? I´m going to go back to my bottle of red tonight and have a little glass while I´m watching the telly...mmmmm
 
Down here in Texas, I see people drinking all the time, though people who are more high class DO NOT EVER drink in the middle of the day, tis frowned upon and people call you names I guess. I am not a big drinker but I love margaritas and tequila. I hate beer. Beer=HAPPINESS!!!...to Leo that is. HAHA! My first stepmom would leave for work at 9am and she would grab three beers, open one, and put two in her purse...needless to say I spoke with her last night and she is fighting a DWI LOL!!!!

So, Leo went to walmart for Parsley.....and got TWO things of CILANTRO!!! UGH! I was so mad. He says, "Well its not like you have to eat it, its for the rabbit!" So I threw some to Buster and he gobbled it up and begged for more haha.

Morgan, haha I love your stories, especially the high five hairdryer story! I would have done the same thing teehee.
And I laughed hysterically at "dead sea otter" ha! What breed is your dog?
 
I think that people don't drink in the day here because Americans can't handle themselves. Iwouldn't mind drinking wine with lunch, but i think other people would think i had a problem. So i have a glass while I'm cooking dinner and usually that same glass with dinner. Then sometimes i have a second and if my son isn't here i have a third! Haha, then i go to bed! Lmao.

Katie, my dog is a dingo. And he does smell like a dead sea otter.

YOU REALLY HAVE A DINGO?!?! THAT IS SOOOO AWESOME :rofl:
 
He's not a dingo in a sense that he comes from Australia, but he is a dingo in the sense that he is such a mutt he doesn't have many breed defining characteristics. Plus, he looks like a dingo. We fostered a black one that looked identical to our dog, but she was black. They're pretty common "breeds" of dog where I am. I am lucky enough to have one of them. He is a great dog, he does hunt things though, which isn't great, but he's really good with my son and our other animals. He will even herd my chickens! hahaha. I'll try to remember to take a picture and share it with everyone.

Lisa, for the bad weather, we're just not equipped to handle it. There are some winters, like last winter, where it froze like 2 nights the whole winter. I was outside in February in shorts and t-shirt, digging up my yard. Then there are these winters where one day its 75* and the next its 12* and sleeting. Its crazy. We have a GUY with a truck and plow that comes and plows the back roads. haha. Its pretty bad. My husband is from Pittsburgh, so he knows how to drive in the snow and ice. I do too, but try not to. I saw 2 cars flipped on their roofs today, there were 27 accidents in 3 hours today. Thats insane. We're terrible with the frozen water.
Also, my free weekend may have been cut short a little, since the weather. Its supposed to be like 55* tomorrow, so enough to melt all the crap. Hopefully my dad will still be able to take my son. He'll only be gone, half of Saturday into the night, then like half of Sunday. But that is enough time to: clean my bedroom, (which is upstairs and I'll explain in a second) tend to the chickens outside, drink a whole bottle of wine, take a long shower, and wash like 8 loads of wash, on top of hopefully catching the hot and now sign at krispy kreme and maybe having a nice dinner with my husband.
Okay, our room. Our house is 1 and a half stories. We have one floor and then a converted attic, that is our bedroom. That is the only thing up there is our room. Its like nearly impossible to clean with my son in the house because he can't go up there. There are stairs but since it was once an attic, the stairs are in the middle of floor and its just a hole that leads to stairs, like in an attic. I would rather my kid not fall down the hole. Our cat did once and while it was HILARIOUS it was also pretty bad. hahaha. Thats why I need him to be some where, so I can clean it. If it makes sense. haha.

Oh and my husband doesn't like Conway Twitty. I don't even know who I married. I was watching a video on youtube, "the want in your eyes", and showed it to my husband and he was like "no, I don't like it. Its weird he's staring at me singing that song". I was like, "gah, just listen to it and his wonderful vocal skills. He sings straight to your soul!" My husband just looked at me like I was a nut and turned away. I yelled at him before walking into the kitchen, "I don't even know who you are anymore!" He laughed hysterically.

Oh yeah about the drinking in the middle of the day. I drink at cook outs and lunch things like that. Beer and some wine. But like just during the day with MY lunch at home, I tend not to drink. lol. I think there is a difference in summer time, outside drinking than there is winter time in the middle of the day inside drinking. I need to be somewhere where its always sunny and nice to be able to drink with lunch and not be frowned at. haha. Spain definitely sounds like the place for me. I keep trying to talk my husband into going there and he keeps shooting me down!

I need to post some pictures and a video. I'll hopefully do that tomorrow!
 
Lol ok a dingo hehe.
Yeah around here if it rains real bad, these goobers are pulled over and we zoom by going 70 mph lmao! Now if it DOE snow, hasn't since 2008, or even gets frozen roads, oh by god it's like Armageddon! School lets out, there's a billion wrecks all around Houston and I'm sitting at home with no vehicle like HAHA LOSERS muahaha.

:0 what? He doesn't like Conway Twitty?! Who does he think he is lol jk! I love his music! I love "that's my job" I cry every time! "Tight fittin' jeans" "hello darlin'" "how if love to lay you down" "slow hand" oh gee I love classic country. Ahh who am I kidding I love all music,
I think I was born a couple generations too late!

In the summertime (we live on the lake) we go out to Sandy point, park the boat and drink all day! We have a merry ole time :)
 
Awh, guess you guys are getting cold winter weather too then! Geeze it's been -40C with the windchill a few days in a row, Canada eh! LOL.

Glad you get some cleaning time! I think it's pretty cool that you have your bedroom in an attic, now if you rid of the stairs and put a ladder it'd be like a classic loft, probably not practical but VERY very cool. :)

How is Ellie doing recently? oh and how are the chickens handling this weather? can they cope with it well?
 
Before I forget, I just heard my husband in the shower singing "hey, this is crazy, but I just bit you and now you have rabies." hahahahaha. He's crazy.
We slept until almost 12! Holy crap, no child=stay up late=sleep REALLY late! haha. Wow. I lost like half my day and that really sucks because I have to go look at rugs today to get a new rug for my son's room. I would like to go to Ikea, but I don't like their rug price tags and I don't like the 1 hour drive up there. haha. No Ikea today since I wasted half my day asleep.

Michelle, to answer your questions about my chickens. They do very well in winter because of the breed of chickens that they are. They're very hardy and huge. They also stay outside year 'round, so they get used to the weather. I think they like the cold better than the heat, because in the summer they walk around with wings spread and panting. In the winter time I also let them free range most than in the summer, so they can forage for what they want to eat and so they can keep up their body heat by walking around. In the winter I feed them corn which is a 'hot food', that means as when it digests it generates heat and helps to keep them warm from the inside. I only feed corn in the winter, because in the summer it makes them too hot.
Speaking of chickens. I just had a slight scare. As I was brushing my teeth, I noticed a vulture perched in my tree in the back, I watched him but he just sat there in the sun. I went into the kitchen to make coffee and noticed only my rooster out the back door. I went out and fed him and couldn't see the hen. I walked out to their coop and she is laying on her nest, I couldn't tell if she was alive or not. So I poked her with a stick and she cooed at me. hahaha. I apologized for poking her, but I have to carry a stick because of the roo. So either, she is just laying an egg or she's laying on her eggs and going broody. Which I hope not because its cold and not the season for broody hens. (Broody-the act of laying on eggs for a month and keeping them constantly at 99*F to hatch the chickens out) So I hope she was just laying an egg. hahaha.

Ellie has gotten bigger. She doesn't look big when you look at her, but you pick her up and she is HEAVY! She probably weighs almost 3 lbs now! I picked her up and brought her into the living room the other night and had to put her on my husbands chest(he was laying on the floor) and he was like 'wow, she's heavy!' She's eating more food now, I don't know if its because shes cold and needs to eat more or if she's going through another growth spurt, but she's eating her solid 1/2 cup a day, plus all her hay and now she eats some romaine and some cilantro. She loves both and she is getting like Foo where she gets into the fridge to get the greens from me! hahaha. Silly rabbit!

Now, off to rug shop. I'll catch up on everyone else's blogs later! Happy Sunday everyone, hope everyone has a lovely day! I'll try to post some pictures tonight. Someone just remind me!
 
haha, that description of Ellie getting in the fridge cracked me up. Partly because it sounds cute, partly because Monty has never fit in the fridge, but always tries to climb OVER me as I'm squatting to get her salad containers out. She has knocked me off balance enough to fall on my ass a couple times. I may as well sprinkle lettuce and herbs all over my body and just lay on the floor and let her trample me. :p


And post pics tonight!!!
 
I second a vote for a picture of you holding Ellie. Please post it with a picture of her when you brought her home for comparison! :D
 
I didn't post pictures tonight. I got home from rug shopping and picking up my son and i was in a terrible mood.:( I'll post them tomorrow, scouts honor!

I ordered that toy Michelle got for her buns, hopefully it will get here soon.
I'll make a longer post tomorrow because i have some hutch ideas to bounce off you guys, along with pictures of said ideas.
 
Wow, sounds as though Ellie has suddenly grown big, 311bs is quite big. I think you should post of photo of you holding her as well as it will give us a better idea.

I had to laugh at the picture of her going in the fridge...she´s a naughty little girl but so like something Houdini would do...well Bandy as well as he´s my little thief now.

Did you get your rug in the end...I´d love to get one for my living room but I think they may end up eating it so I´m not going to bother as I would be a bit mad lol.
