Thanks Myia, she is a cute little bugger. Especially funny watching her little chubby butt running up the stairs.

Wow Helen and I thought I was bad. Fortunately I've never had any facial skin problems. Everything is on the body. This time around the drugs are actually working! It's finally drying up, I also kept it uncovered today. Had to run to the store earlier for lettuce and wore a very low cut top with a sweater. I was freezing and flashing skin! I'm hoping the eczema clears up b/c summer arrives. My legs are so bad with scars. I don't wear shorts out, only around the house.

My poor Shades. As hubby was petting her, he realized she has 3 bite marks on her. Probably from last weekend when she was fighting with Cappuccino. She got her pretty good!Meanwhile I felt bad for Cappy b/c she was terrified of Shades yet she obviously defended herself just fine. We'll be keeping an eye on it and hopefully it'll heal quickly.

Keep a close eye on it and make sure the bites scab and fully heal. Don't want them to abscess!

Thanks Cheryl, that's a great compliment coming from someone who I think has the cutest lops out there! have to admit Cappuccino is a beautiful bunny. Love her two face, matches her personality!

So now that Helen (KirbyUltra) got me in the on-line shopping mode. I've been contemplating about getting this new pet carrier. What do you guys think? Doubt hubby will like the color b/c he'll think it's too girly. I like that it has a top opening, easier to take them out.

That carrier sounds great. I like the top opening also. I find it really, really hard to get bunners in the side door kennel cab that I have. It's really hard to get them in and out so I usually detach the top to top-load them, but putting the thing back together is such a drag. If you remember me trying to put Kirby back into my kennel cab, it's always pretty awkward because the door's not on right or the top's not securely locked in...

I think if I were to get another carrier I'd get one that has the option to top load or side load, but I don't know if they make them like that.

Are you planning on getting this so you can bring the girls together to the vet if necessary? I really love the feature where spilled food and such has a gutter to go to but I wonder what it is really -- I wish the site had more pics of what it looks like inside! I think it's pretty cool though.

This pet store I go to in manhattan for Oxbow pellets sold the Sherpa original bag, which I think is the same one you brought Baci in. They told me that airlines will only allow an approved SOFT carrier in-cabin. If the pet travels with cargo, it must be a HARD carrier like the one you posted. I didn't know that, but I guess it makes sense. The hard ones won't fit snugly under the seat, and you want the hard ones in cargo in case things move!

That it one decked out carrier! I just have normal cat carriers and they work great, but man I would love that one! lol!

I b/l this one has both top and front loader which is why I like it.

Yep, though the other is also big enough. I just think with 2 buns, I need a hard case.

Unless it's a service animal, I b/l Continental is the only US airline that will allow rabbits in the cabin. They do allow hard case as long as it's a certain dimension. However I think the one above is a bit too big by about 3 inches. I would get another one if I ever needed to take a rabbit on the flight, but never in the cargo. How many service rabbits do you think I can get away with? :biggrin2:

Girl, you know I would get away with all 3. My heart starts to race, blood pressure shoots up, and I can't see straight as soon as I don't have my 3 service rabbits. My body is incapable of functioning unless it is busy serving them all!

 

[hln917]

Ha! And that's when we deem you "unfit" to travel!:biggrin2::biggrin2:

Actually I was thinking to use that excuse if I ever had to go "rescue" any rabbits. It'll just be a different rabbit everytime.

 

[hln917]

ARRGG!!! This is why I hate ignorance! How could anyone mistreat this beautiful creature. My girlfriend picked her up from someone last week who foreclosed on their house and couldn't afford to keep her. The poor thing was starving, herfur all matted and covered in peep and poop. She was living in a cage no bigger than her. She doubt she was everletout of the cage. Unfortunately she doesn't know anything about her, if she's spayed or her age. She looks like a Lionhead but could be an Angora since they had to shave most of herfur off. She's bringing her over here tomorrow to get more hay and pellets. I wish I had the room for her. I'll probably post this in the Rescue Me section. I don't trust Craigslist.

 

[hln917]

We had a little visitor tonight. My girlfriend bought Yeti over to the house. (The original name was Snowball but she wanted to change it so we decided on Yeti.) Such a beautiful bun!I think it'san Angora. Hubby decided to play barber and cut more of the matted hair. As he was trimming her, she became a boy! We also trimmed his overgrown nails. He previous owner didn't bother with any of the grooming.Amazes me how they owned such a beautiful rabbit yet neglected to care for it. He still seems young, so happybeing out and exploring. Hewasn't afraid of us, just didn't like tobepicked up.Little bugger even ran up and nipped me in the thigh!

So now I'm in trouble~ in the short amount of time he was here, I fell in love with him. I'm torn, we don't have the extra room and I don't think he's neutered yet. Hubby said no but I know he was falling for him also. I'm trying to convince my girlfriend to keep him, since I know she'll also give him a great home.Her hubby is also saying no, they have too many animals in the house.I told her we'll both have to work on the spouses. So I don't thinkI'll be posting himin the Rescue Me sectionjust yet!

Shades was nothappywith the new smellonceshe came downstairs. I think it confused her andherJekyll and Hydeside came out, she started chasingCappy again terrifying the poor girl.However once they went back upstairs to their room, all was fine, she stretched out while Cappy groomed her.

Nowoff to figure a way how to get Yeti here.......

 

[hln917]

Perhaps I spoke too soon. I hear Shades chasing Cappy upstairs. I'm about to separate them with the gate again tonight. Not sure why Shades is acting up again.:?

 

[hln917]

So I think it was definitely Yeti's scent that drove Shades to terrorize poor Cappy. We noticed she was only chasing her when they came downstairs. So I scrubbed the floors down yesterday and the one spot I missed by the fireplace where Yeti peed is where Shades is now leaving her marking!:shock: Bummer, I was really hoping to have Yetivisit again next weekend but I doubt hubby will allow it knowing it may stress her out again.

Back to work tomorrow after 5 days off. Yuck~ but at least my wound is drying up nicely. The medicationsare finallyworking. It was great being home and sleeping in till 6am. The one thing I'm going to miss is my baby Baci! He loves it when we'rehome, sometimes I swear he's a dog, he just follows us all over the house. And if we're not paying attention, he'll come up and scratch our feet to remind us to look down. I only work 4 days a week but even that's too long to be away from home. It's funny how a couple of rabbits changed my life. I used to go out after work shopping or dinner with friends. Now all I want to do is anxiously come home to my buns.

Did some yard work today. Finally get to bring all my statues out, 5 rubbermaid containers full! The neighborhood knows us as the rabbit couple. All the property on the street has a name, (the neighborhood is very old) our is supposedly Frog Hollow, but I told them I'm changing it to Bun Hollow!

 

[kirbyultra]

Aww what cute statues!! Did you get them at the store next to Country Pet or somewhere else? It's so cool that everyone knows you're the rabbit couple

Buns have such a special pull, don't they? I'm the same way. I was a wreck the first time hubby and I went on vacation and left them at home with my brother. A lot of times I would just rather spend a quiet evening with my babies than go out. I've never heard other pet owners have that kind of feeling except bun owners.

 

[Myia09]

Yeti is so adorable!

And I love all your figurines..I want to start up but I have no backyard

 

[Tofu]

OMG. Yeti.. that bunny is GORGEOUS. :heartbeat:

You also have amazing bun-sculptures! .. I want to do that when I own my own place!! My fav. is the one with the bunny popping out of a hole in the ground.

No, I think they are mostly indoor statues, though I have plenty of those also. Most of them were from Marshalls, Home Good, TJ Maxx, and Lowes.
