Well isn't it all about him?

:nod:laugh:you are right on with that one Dave! Nummy does think it is all about him rofl! I guess he is the boss around here!

I like this picture, as if he's thinking you had doubts it wasn't about me?

:bunny19:bunnieskissIt has been a while since I last posted, things have been rather busy for me these days. I have been busy doing renovations on my home and that has taken up alot of my time lately. Of course the whole time Nummy has been right there with me. Today my husband caught him chewing up our phone cord :X. I have to keep him out of my bedroom now when he is not being watched. He must have been really board or something because he usually never goes for the cords. He has a thing for phone cords though, he ate through my uncles phone cord when I was babysitting his dogs. Bad Nummy!!!:shameI guess he will just have to hang out in the livingroom where cords are not available for his chewing pleasure!

My Husband said he saw a lump on Nummy's male parts.... I checked them abit during his nail trim and I can't feel anything there but I will have to have them checked at his next dental appointment. I hope he is okay though, I really don't want to put him through any surgury since he took so long to recover from his last medical issue.ray:

It has been so hot out here this last month, going outside is not even an option, and I wish we could be out. Nummy sometimes breathes heavily when it is hot out, I have the air on and fans going all the time and we are still pretty hot. I always make sure my pets are cool enough though. I find they are all acting abit more lazy on the hot days. Even Dot hasn't been as playful, she seems to be tired alot and sometimes sleeps all day and night.:zzzzzI miss seeing her around!

I see her lay like this on the real hot days... I sometimes wake her to make sure she is okay and not too hot. She seems to cool off when she lays on her back. She is such a cutie though, and she is starting to become more relaxed around her human friends. When I try to pet her she doesn't cringe up like she used to, so that is nice for me

She likes to give us the old side eye lol. This hamster is a sweetie!

Nummy has decided that he will now have an affair with that cute stuffed rabbit I bought him a while back. He decided that havingtwo girlfriends are better than one. He has one in each room, and he seems to enjoy that. I am glad he likes his bunny friend, and it looks more like they should be together more than his dog girlfriend :biggrin:. His dog is still his favorite though....

I got a few pics of Nummy eating some apple, it made me laugh when I zoomed in on his lips lol, he has such cute rabbit lips!

Things are good though, Nummy has been living out for a while and aside from chewing up my phone cord all is really good. I do get tired of stepping on rabbit droppings though :rollseyesand I have had to keep him in one room through the day just to keep the mess to a minimal. Sometimes he misses his paper too when he goes for a pee and he is getting it on the carpet. That is another reason why he has been moved to the one room. I can't have him peeing on the carpet!! He don't seem to mind too much though that he is in the other room, someone is usually in there so he usually has company until bedtime at least. He is still sneezing up a storm but some days are better than others. His little paws are often messy with his nose mess. Poor little guy!

Daisy is good too, we have been cooped up though, I haven't been able to take her out for a walk in this heat, I wish it could be just a tad bit cooler out so we could go for a nice long hike. She showed her disproval about not going out when I asked her to pose for the camera I got this instead...

Geez, what a dog! I still managed to get her to smile for the camera though after much persistance...

She looks like the joker to me lol!

Well thats what has been happening over here,we look forward to more outdoor adventures as soon as things cool off abit. I am working on getting a video of Nummy too so I will post soon. :biggrin:

I can relate about the heat, my buns are indoors with a/c and a fan blowing on them and they just seem to be lounging.

Poor pups, won't even chase a squirrel or bark, they go out take care of business and want back in the comfy a/c, they are spoiled!

 

[tonyshuman]

So cute, especially the hamster and the bunny lips!

 

[Nummy]

:big wink:Thank-you! Nummy and his cute little rabbit lips! They are irisistable! The heat has not let up around here and we are still pretty hott. I had to put Nummy back in his crate for a few days because I have been busy this week doing major renovations. Unfortunatly today I noticed that Nummy's eye is weeping. I am thinking it is his teeth that is causing the problem. I have to book him in to see the vet.I hate that he has to go through all this. And it seems like there is not much that I can do to help him. He is so old and I can't bring myself to put him through major dental surgury. I just don't know what to do... It makes me so sad. This is what it is looking like at the moment...

I am scared now that it is becoming a more progressive problem. I worry about Nummy's quality of life.:expressionlessHe seems like his normal happy self, but I just don't like to see him have all these problems.

He has been sneezing alot too these days and now with the eye being watery, the whole side of his face is wet:cry2. Poor little guy. Well at least he looks as happy as can be with girlfriend number 2. I hope the vet visit will help him out. They will be the first people I will be calling in the morning! I am glad to see he is still in a good mood though. He has been really happy tonight playing with his teddy and runny around my feet. I love it when he is a happy boy. I will post again with the results on Nummy's situation as soon as I know what is going on. Pray for us!! ray:

 

[MILU]

I'm glad to know that Nummy's eye isn't crying so much anymore, I hope he gets ok!! How are his teeth? Any more dental procedures? I hope he's doing fine now. It's sad that he cried and sneezed so much. MILU has been sneezing some times but I'm not yet giving him any antibiotic, he seems to be dealing well with the problem.
MILU and Nummy should have been brothers, or at least friends. They have so much in common... MILU thinks the whole world needs him too, and that he is SO necessary for life on Earth! heheh
They both love phone cords (I guess most buns do?), and peeing on the carpet, missing the right spot.
I love Nummy's girlfriend, I wonder if MILU would like to have one like that. I guess he wouldn't care about her.. I tried to give him a ball, a "wheel of fortune" (LOL) and other toys but he never got interested unless there's a human wround to play with him. He really likes people...
Well, keep us updated about Nummy, his pics are, like always, adorable! He's such a cute and strong rabbit! :clapping:

 

[Nummy]

:big wink:Thank-you Vivian, Nummy is feeling much better. He is always sneezing as usual, but the teary eye seem to be only happening from time to time. The vet told me that Nummy's teeth will always have problems as long as hehas teeth. But he has lived this long having the problem so.... I kinda guess he is used to it. We haven't been to the vet yet, he is due every three months though and he is due for a visit in a couple of weeks. Everytime we are at the vets for his dental he seems to amaze my vet with how funny his teeth are. He says he is even surprised how Nummy eats sometimes. He manages though, and of course I try to keep him eating nice crunchy greens and whatever he might wanna snack on :coolness:.

:biggrin2:We did make it outside finally after so many days of hot weather. The funny thing was, Nummy wanted nothing to do with it at all! :?What rabbit doesn't want to be one with nature?? Nummy! He braved the patio steps to the door and waited for me to let him in. He acted like it was torture having him outside. lol. He is so wierd sometimes... but I still love him anyways :big kiss:. I have pictures from our adventure from that day, but I will have to upload them in the morning.

 

[MILU]

Nummy is such a handsome rabbit! He's really cute, I love his pics! And you know how to take his pics and his color goes very well with the background always!
Sometimes I think Nummy and MILU could be like brothers, when you tell stories about Nummy it's like you're talking about MILU. It's not that my bunny doesn't like to go check a garden, but when he comes back home (indoors), then he's really happy!! hehhe
He's more comfortable on the carpet than on grass! It's so funny when you say that Nummy felt like going out for a walk was like torture, hehehe
I hope he's ok, and you too!!

:dutch

:hello:bunnydance:Sorry for not posting sooner.... I got kinda busy again . Summer always has a way of doing that to me. Nummy is doing well, but is going through his pre-Fall shed. I have had to give him a real good brushing as I don't need him to ingest all that extra fur. He usually does go through stasis at these times of the year, but I am pretty quick to notice these changes and I make sure he is eating plenty of greens and getting lots of fluids. He also has a dental appointment this Saturday, and I hope all goes well. I did notice a lump too on his man parts.... it wasn't hard, but rather squishy :shock:, of course Nummy did mind me looking there but... I have no choice but to checkbeing his rabbit mum and all. Nummy is still always sneezing and it seems like this is going to be a pemanent thing for him. But I think we can live with that. Oh and here are those pictures I promised of his last day outside (the one he did not enjoy).

Things started out normal, Nummy usually pops out of his safe zone to take a look around...

Right away I could tell that Nummy was slightly uncomfortable with all the sounds of the outdoors...

Nummy immediately made a beeline towards the patio stairs as soon as he could :expressionless.

He made it up the first 2 steps and I thought maybe he was having second thoughts but...

He managed to get the courage to go all the way up to the top step only to find out the way was shut!! :shock::confused2:.

Poor little guy wanted to go back inside, after only being outside for a few minutes!

I had to add this pic simply because I caught him in motion and thought it looked neat:biggrin:. Of course I let the poor guy in, after all he did manage to getup the courage to go all the way up those steps.He went right inside as fast as he could to go back to what he feels most comforable around...

Well that was the end of that day outside. And of course he was not interested in trying to come out again. He is such a funny little dude :coolness:.

The other pets are doing good too, however Daisy has developed a bit of a limp in her left leg from time to time as if a long walk sometimes upsets it. And sometimes it acts up when she lays around too much. She is good though and seems like he usual old self. I figure she may have some arthritis or something is all.

She looked so cut in this pic, I happened to catch her just before she was going to yawn... she looks tooo cute!

She was staring out at me and Nummy that afternoon... I thought it was silly how she looked..

Dot is doing well too... she is getting up there in age though, she was rather large when I bought her from the pet store, but I knew she would love to live with me since I could give her the life she most definetly deserves. She makes light work of her pen though, and beckons to come out in her ball almost every night. I love this little hamster .

Well that is it for now. I am sorry it took so long before I updated. I will keep you all posted on any of the latest updates with the gang though.

Oh and yes Vivian, Nummy is more comfortable on carpet than he is on grass lol!!! He is a little bit strange at times.... but I can live with that. And I dothink Milu and Nummy probably had to have been brothers in another life! They are soo much alike:biggrin2:. I feel like I am reading my own blog at times when I read about Milu and yourself and all the adventures and mis adventures. I hope you both are doing well, and I look forward to the latest updates!! :bunnyheart:bunnieskiss

 

[Wabbitdad12]

What a cute picture!

 

[Nummy]

Why thank-you Dave! :biggrin:Nummy thinks he's pretty cute too lol. He sure knows how to get me to give him those tastey "yogurt yummies" too. He just looks at me with those big blue eyes and wrinkles that cute pink nose and I just can't resist!

How could anyone resist a face like that??! LOL :big wink:

 

[Wabbitdad12]

Your right you can't.

 

[Nummy]

:sunshine:urplepansy::caffeineGood morning rabbit lovers, I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I wanted to let everyone know how Nummy did at his appointment. He seemed kinda stressed out on the way to Toronto, I wish we could be closer to the vet for Nummy, but they are the only act in town that do teeth so.... we have no choice. When we got to the parking lot Nummy ate a bit of salade that I brought along for him and then it was time to go in for the big check up.

I had the vet check Nummy over, including his male things in regards to that strange lump to find out that it was some kind of rabbit zit. The vet said it was fairly common. :yuckHis teeth were not so bad. The vet told me Nummy only has 2 teeth on one side of his mouth and very few on the other side aswell. I guess eventually we won't have any more teeth to get cut. I suppose that is a good thing for Nummy since he so does not enjoy going to the vet. Once I got him home he didn't want much to eat. I did convince him to eat a little though. Unfortunatly it looks like stasis is creeping in on us, but I am not going to let it stick around! The vet said Nummy is "fat" and needs to loose a few pounds. I think Nummy is cute but I suppose a little weight lose would be a good thing. I just hope that Nummy starts to feel better soon. I always regret taking him to the vet and having this be the outcome. It makes me sad to think I made this problem! But we dont have a choice as long as Nummy has teeth to trim. I will keep everyone posted on how Nummy is doing this week. Wish us luck! ray:

 

[Nummy]

:apollo:Nummy is feeling much better! Over the weekend he seemed to perk back up again. I am so glad he is doing better. I noticed he is not that hungry in the mornings, and I have been giving him less pellets and offering him more greens in hopes to help him lose some weight. The good news is that he is doing great and is all back to being my happy little guy!

 

[Wabbitdad12]

That is great to hear!

 

[MILU]

hi Cheri

I love Nummy's pics!! They're all so cute, also Daisy's and Dot's. I think the pics of Nummy on the black and white carpet look so nice, it's a good color contrast, despite, you know, Nummy looks great anywhere!
I'm glad to hear that he's doing well and that the lumps are nothing bad. MILU has some lumps too, which I simply prefer not to know what they are (oh well, vets here can't tell anyway), I prefer to think that everything is alright...
Does Nummy still need a diet? I think he looks great, he doesn't seem to be above weight. I hope you're all ok there, much love to all of you!

 

[MILU]

How's Nummy doing? He's such a handsome rabbit! I hope he's ok!!
* We need more pics too, besides the update.. Nummy is too cute!

 

[Nummy]

:biggrin:
Hello again everybody!!! It has been a very long time since I last posted an update, I have been very busy over the last few months. I am happy to report that Nummy is doing well and is very happy as usual. We have not had many problems and have not had to go to the vets in a while

Sad news though, Dot passed away just after Christmas, it was so sad. I will miss her always. I am comforted when I think she was a happy little hamster, and she loved her little life.

Over the winter months I had another animal call to me for some much needed help, a little kitty I named "Tippy" because of her frost bitten ear tips. She was hanging around my home eating out of the trash and licking the recycling. She began to hang out alot till she moved into a box I placed out on my porch. It started to get really cold, and the more I looked at her, the more I noticed the condition she was in. Her ear was really badly frost bitten. It still is in bad shape I might add, and it has been four months! All four of her feet were also affected, and of course she just had a rather tattered look to her. After a trip to the vets, I brought her into my home where she has been ever since. Her and the dog hate eachother so far, and the dog has been beat up a few times... I try to keep the separate now as I learned fast that one poke to the eye cost me 200.00! :expressionless
Nummy is very curious about her, but the cat is actually scared of him and will do whatever she can to get away from him lol!:rollseyes I am hoping that eventually we can all be one big happy family, but these things take time. I will post some pics of her soon.... photobucket is doing maintenance.ssd:

 

[MILU]

Hi Cheri,

I'm so sorry about Dot!! May she rest in peace... she'll be missed....

But I'm glad Nummy is ok, I'm happy to hear that he hasn't needed to go to the vet in a while. It's also good to know you got a new pet at home, that you're helping. It's a shame she and your doggie don't get along well, but they'll have to find a way to be under the same roof in peace (yeah you did well separating them).
I hope everything goes well with all your pets, keep us posted, I like to read about Nummy and his pals!

 

[MILU]

Hi Cheri

Sorry for not replying sooner....
About the questions you made about MILU, they always used anesthesia and never let me be in the room for the procedure. Despite that, I've always waited for him at the clinic the whole time, the 1st time I even called him (he was so weak) I wanna make sure he'd know I was around, even if he was unconscious. Well, it worked, he always woke up after the procedures, regardless of how weak he was, or how dangerous his condition could be. Then I found out - perhaps a little late - through Rabbits Online, of course, that rabbits should NOT feast for those procedures, and guess if they didn't make me do that to him?? I guess they requires 4 hours for bunnies (I don't know why) and the last time they said 12 hours but I knew that was the required time for dogs so I didn't let him stay that long without eating. Not that he'd want to eat anyway with his teeth like that....
His front teeth were mostly ok, the back ones were the problem.
MILU did ok every time he did the procedures, he usually had them every 1 or 2 months I guess, it was 4 of them. Then he was good for 5 months after the last time he had his teeth filed.
I miss him enormously.. he's not with me anymore... He waited for me to come back from a trip (he was doing great when I traveled, it shocked me how he seemed to wait for me to "go" - my mother sent me pics of him, everything was better than ever, even his poo was healthier than ever, he ate, he played... I talked to him on the phone sometimes too).. after I was back he left us on my 3rd day back. He was so sweet he was still fighting to stay. He only 'left' for real after I told him that he could 'go where he had to and do what he had to'.
I miss him a lot but nobody wants me to have another bun (and I need my family to take care of the new bun if I travel..) I wanna find a bunny from a shelter, one who needs a home... but here we got no bunny shelters. But anyway, life goes on and I like to check RO and see how the other buns are doing, I love to read about rabbits and to see their pics. They're wonderful animals!
I still don't know how to get an email to let me know of your updates but I'll check to see if you wrote.
I hope everything is fine with you and your pets!!

:big kiss:
