Sunday...12/6 at 12:04pm....
I actually have a minute to sit and just be....trying to think where I left off...
Random things...I have not been back to bunspace since I opened it. Sorry I never got back to you Kelli...but I also sort of feel we should each make our own choices. I didnt like some things but that was just me...
Dougals breeder Sarah ended up in the hospital which I started a thread on. I am so sad to hear she became this ill...I was so worried over who was taking care of her animals, but Cathy said she is sure someone is making sure they are being looked after. Last email update said she might be out by Monday...I think that would be great! Angelina finished her card to Sarah and we will send it out in the mail on Monday. Angelina was sad to hear she was not well....We both were looking forward to seeing her at the show on 12/12.... I called the number I found for the show person, spoke to a man and asked if he could provide me some details because I do not even know the address.....said he would email me but never did...I will have to get it figured out before Friday.
Things with work are ok...not shiningly so...but ok enough....I did go to work every day last week. I intend to do so again this week, but I will have to leave early again on Wed as the sitter canceled on me for the 4th? 5th? time....sigh.
Couple of days ago I saw some smush come back with Dougal...I freaked a bit but Cathy calmed me down and he did seem to even back out. I have been noticing what seems like a decrease in his appetite again though....I have been trying to not be very paranoid about it, but today we saw poop, that smelled horrible...no form to it and while it was not liquid, is was the dreaded D... My gut is telling me something is wrong again. I deceided to go ahead and start up the Albon again. I gave him some this morning with some Bene Bac. He really is not eating his pellets...he is eating the oats he digs through the pellets to find. He is eating his hay though and I think fairly well...
I added a shelf into the crate last night, just really felt he needs some more room...and extra shelf to lay out on...So he has that with the grass mat and his food dish up there...litter pan stacked with hay directly under it now...and he seems to really like the childrens blankets I still have (minnie mouse & elmo) folded up a few times to lay on. I think he likes the cushion. His water crock is in the bottom corner sitting on just the crate floor. I took the water bottle down because I saw all is does is leak over every thing...SIGH...
When I go to work and know I will be there a full day for me...which is about 9-4 I set up the NIC 3 squares high wall I have and leave his door open. I attach the water bottle to that and put a wash cloth under it...this way he is not cramped into the crate all day...
We had tried to give him a little bit of green leaf a little while ago...he took maybe two bites and went away...guessing he does not care for it. He didnt want anything to do with the carrot peice on Thanksgiving...PICKY BOY...
He seems to have a thing about his whiskers....he will shake his head and twitch when anything at all touches them. even the floor...(He is up on the shelf at his pellet dish but I do not hear the crunch of the pellets..probably licking up the last oat he can find)
He does not like pine cones...and Honestly I can not blame him...those prickly little parts would annoy me too!
He is still eating the carpet, but has also moved on to trying to eat the wood molding that meets the corner of the floor and wall. I have given up on trying to restrict his access to areas and now just try to protect them the best I can. He seems to have given up on trying to jump the NICs now...even if they are only 1 high, which in the hallway they are...
He still tries to make a break for my bedroom...perhaps I need to let him get in there to see there is nothing left, no palace for him anymore in my room...
I have been feeling ill on and off for a while now. I thought it was allergies and I am actually pretty sure it was...at least that is how it started....but it quickly progressed to something else...and Wed, Thurs at work I was just plain miserable. Bending over hurt the pressure in my head SO much...
When friday came I said enough is enough and took myself to one of those CVS minute clinics. I knew my regular doc office would be slammed like it always is and it is always a long wait and a 40 minute drive...the hell with that...so yeah...CVS...here I come...
Was ok...only person there so I was seen in minutes...She checked me out and then asked what was new and different in the house...(I knew where this was leading as I have had this conversation before, just usually about dogs or cats)....
So I told her Dougal a bunny and a bale of hay from a new store. And she goes on to tell me exactly what I thought she would...my allergies became so great that it created such sinus issues that caused a serious bacterial sinus infection. "You need to put him outside or in a shed" my response...That is not possible. It is too cold out side and the shed would not work...her response" Than you need to get rid of him because this will just keep happening like a circle..over and over again"...my response..."Whats one more med in the morning to me?" She shook her head and gave me that 5 day antibiotic...told me I really need to do saline nose rinses, get a humidifeir in my house and mucinex?
Well I got the script, stopped at Walmart and got the mist machine from Vicks for 15 bucks. Skipped the $$$$$ mucinex crap and tried the nose rinse stuff which happens to burn and I choke on it so I dont do that now either.
My congestion has dropped, the pressure in my face is gone, the almost feels like pain in my ears, gone...my breathing issues..gone.
She said to stop everything else I am taking,...but I am still taking the benadryl at night...it was never just for the allergies, but to help me sleep as well and lord knows that stuff is a whammy! I think that is probably the only med I have never built a tolerance to.
Get rid of your rabbit....cant do it...cant...not to him, not to Lina...not to me..cant.
WHO..could get rid of a face LIKE THAT...hmmm?
I am worried though...truthfully I can not go through every day like I was...my head, my ears and face OUCH! I have to find a solution that helps me and effects nothing else. The idea of a hutch has come to my mind...but I do not see how I could honestly make that work. There is no way I could put him in the tiny ant infested shed...and this is a rented house/property...I do not have the right to do or change anything...
I really truthfully do not understand WHY my reaction is so very drastically different from having Simon. Yes I know we deal with the Hay more....but it can not be just that.
I am hoping our warm misting will help things...I put it in the living room instead of the bedroom. Truthfully Lina and I both need one in our rooms...but I thought this was better. I hung a sheet to block off my kitchen and keep all the doors closed...when it gets pretty good in here I open up the two bedroom doors. It runs pretty well and for a good amount of time on a full tank of water...strange you need to add salt, but ok. They have this little dish for meds to put into the air, but as we do not need that I have been putting lavendar oil into it...makes the house smell GREAT!
Dougal has been biting more...I saw a horrible bruise on Angelinas chest last night and I was like what the hell, where did that come from ...she calmly says...oh Dougal did that when I picked him up to put him away...(It is an ugly looking bruise)...
While trying to take a look at his back yesterday he bit the both of us enough to leave some good bruises..mine do not actually hurt butthe color of it is there.
He is very cage worried...you can not go into or near his cage without him like panicing to what are you doing...he has to sniff smell and push his way back in to start nudging or biting you out.
See how he protects his food
When I was holding him for a minute yesterday I felt something on his skin...struck me as worm-ish....scar tissue-ish...
Broke out with the clippers, shaved down the spot and took a look. The skin is NOT broken. It is raised, it is about an inch in length and is not stuck in one spot, it moves with that layer of skin. It is not red or irratated. I did clean it up with some Vanodine...hoping it is just a scratch...but it doesnt strike me as that...It is still the same today as it was yesterday. It has not gone down, gotten better etc....
He has been playing an awful lot when we let him out. He loves to run...but it has to be along things...along the side of the couch, boxes etc...not right out in the open...which sucks for him in a way because when he jumps he tends to swing his rear end in a different direction than where he was going and well yeah..he ends up sliding, slamming...some part of him into something.
We/I...created this 3 level cardboard box heaven for him...of course he could care less, but he will hide behind it. He will run through the tunnels some...but not alot.
He is one hell of a flopping fool...seriously he does not know how to sit...only flop lol.I admit to getting paranoid that he is dead a lot because I swear to god he really looks like he is...he is ALWAYS laying on his side,...sometimes his eyes are closes, sometimes slightly open with that,...not here look to them... and sometimes he doesnt even respond to you....He probably does not like that I jiggle him to make sure at times he is ok...lol...but I can not help it.
I turned the crate...this way when I attach the pen like NIC to it for extra moving room for him he can not get to the carpet at all now.
I picked the couch out I have now on purpose for one shining fact....it is so low to the floor, no bun can get under it or behind it. I did this with Simon in thought, but it is working out great for Dougal as well...
The East Regional Library had cookies with Santa yesterday....Oh my good god....I have NEVER seen so many people there...I even took a picture with Santa....
Funny how you never really understand just how heavy you have become till you see a picture of yourself eh? I look like I belong in the ocean...sigh.
I talked to my X husband today...lord I swear you need to grant me a better tolerance of idiocy....Angelina invited him to her school preformace of the Nutcracker..."I dont know if I can, I will have to see"...(JERK)...there are so very many things I would love to say but over time I have accumlated so many things to say that now they get stuck coming out and I just huff and give up...
We lost another hermit crab....again.
A long while ago I bought Angelina 3 hermit crabs. I have 3 types of food cause I can never tell if they even eat...we have salt water and regular water...we have hides, crawly thingys, and shells galore...Well...Ella...she was TEENY TINY...like the size of a dime maybe? One day she left her shell and seemed to have froze in place...we found her just standing there stiff....(This was before Simon died)...We still had Hermie and Teddy however...and she vowed to be a better Hermit crab owner....OKAAAAYYyy...
Well we bought Squirt...and everything has been fine for quite some time...we have had them all since like...July maybe? Well....Hermie...crawled out of his shell and looked to have been slightly eaten by the others...The only reason we know it was Hermie was because he stuck out of his shell much further than he should have ( he should have switched to a bigger shell but he never would...even when he would leave his and change em out he would go back to the same one)...but the crab in hermies shell...fit. Which means it was Teddie...He was the smallest of them all...and he took over Hermies house...Teddie seems...odd for him...usually he does nothing but hide...and WILL NOT move if he sees you or knows you are there...he is very much a fraidy cat...ya know...but he has been wandering and walking all over..... Mold keeps growing and I keep trying to get it out, changed the sand, changed the coconut dirt stuff...still it grows...changed the tanks and so far that seems to have made a difference. I hesitate to get another crab...We are not having a great track record here...and I feel bad for them...plus only Ella,Hermie and Teddie seemed to like each other....Squirt seems to bother and bully any other crab...Squirt is like..4 times the size of any of the others though and he was the smallest one I could find...at the time.
Angelina is out side right now taking care of the pine needles as is her punishment for some severe and dangerous lies she has begun telling. She has been acting out, being slightly destructive, breaking rules, lying and some other things that have made life quite hard lately. I feel like I have no way to reach her and I am actually concerned for her safety...she has talked about hurting herself...my 8 year old..
I saw her hit her head last night and so now she has to be where I am, can not be in any room unless I am there with her. I am watching her out the window right now though, so I could come and talk...
I am getting her help...she will be seeing soon the sort that prescribes meds...her therapist thinks she needs them..and so I agreed to have her seen...I do believe it honestly really is a family trait...a genetic mess up in my family line. We all suffer depression...Lina confessed to me today she often feels sad,lonely and like no one loves her...(man can I relate...)...
I had thought Dougal would have been a help truthfully but I think it backfired....She has become more worried about his health..that it affecting her depression and bringing her joy.
Things to do...So for now I am going....
Going to upload my pictures to photobucket to list through out this update and add the rest in another post....I have to try to sort out now which is what as we have been taking SO many pictures.....
I almost lost this whole thing so I am going to post it now and come back in to edit in the photos,....I was about to cry lol....

I really dont know how much worse my day can become.
Lets start with Dougal before the drama.
That mass I found on Dougal....is not going down, going away...is not growing either though.
He has not been acting so great. Any time I let him out of his cage he runs and than starts eating the carpet...we keep trying to stop him, but every other second he starts pulling at it...and chewing it....so we end up putting him up. He has been biting more and more and leaving some nice bruises on Lina...on me...
So now on to the fun stuff.
There was a problem with my x's unemployment and so my child support did not come last night...but my auto payment for water went out anyway....so now I have until 8pm to get the funds into my account before the over draft fees hit.
Called the x all day and just now he tells me there was a problem. He could have told me days ago and I could have stopped the payment...but why should he do something so kind as to be nice to me...
My daughter is on the phone asking him to please help her/us...so my bank account can get settled ok and so we can go make the gingerbread houses tomorrow and the rabbit show on Saturday...
He wont. He is yelling at her and telling her it is adult stuff she cant understand...she asks....why do you always let me down...he gets angry....yells...I get on the phone and he says how dare I allow this to just go on and on...and hangs up....He has turned his phone off and will not answer the calls now.
I have no idea when the money will start coming again as I have no idea what is going on with his unemployment stuff.
It is the worst feeling in the world to promise your daughter something....try to fix it, be unable to and have her see you break down and cry just cause of stress alone.
I feel so incredibly emotionally spent...
For everything...that was going ok....life just dipped down to REALLY bad...

Not quite...just some very nice people where I work... They even went and bought her two pairs of jeans today...
While I feel embarressed...I feel very humbled by how every one wants to help us...and they have never even met my daughter.....
I opened the presents my mom sent to my daughter...they came today...most was junk to throw away...but there was an awesome shirt...it has a bunny on it! She is excited to wear it tomorrow to the rabbit showings...I normally dont mess with presents but I felt compelled to this time....
About Dougal...
His butt/tail area looks bigger to me every time I look at him lol..so I think he is gaining weight. I do need to take him in to at least get a weight on him...
This strange mass...it does not seem to bother him...it is still there, it has not changed since I first saw it. Not smaller, not larger...I do not know what to make of it. He is having stool issues again...gave a bit of Bene today,...
He is sooooo about Angelina....he will go sit with her...go to her side when we stand by his pen...he looks for her attention!
He is still being a dork about the carpet...
He likes to mess up his grass mat...
He likes tearing up boxes....

I so need that shirt in an adult size.....
I think you're probably at the show as I type this (or on your way home) and I'm dying to hear how it went.
I'm sure you had fun....I love shows.
I love all the pictures of Dougal - he's such a sweetie.
And it was cool to see pics of you and your daughter too - how neat!

So...We went to the show in Sanford NC yesterday...
It was a small show which I think was actually rather nice. We were able to talk to people, had lunch with them...asked questions...and no one seemed rude, in a rush etc. I think going to a small show like that was a great idea/move.
We were not sure we were in the right place till we saw this little tiny yellow sign that said Rabbit Show. So we pulled in, parked, hopped out and saw some people right away...they said hello to us and we went on inside...
My daughters face lit up the second we got off our coats and took a look around....wow! So many real live buns in one place...her ADD kicked in big time. Mom MOM MOM look look look...lol...I heard that for about the first hour!
We took a small stroll around the room and saw this guy putting the ink in the ears...so we stopped to see what that was like...as Dougal does not have his mark yet. Angelina of course spotted the small baby right away and asked if she could hold her.....Turns out this isa litter of ten weeks old. 4 girls, 1 boy broken black mini rex. Never really handled or held I am told.
and yes even I had to hold the baby!
We talked to PJ for a little while but Angelina was in a hurry to see all the buns so we moved on to the Dutch....
This man was very nice and explaining things..but I do not think Angelina heard a word....
We walked around fora bit...Angelina hung out a tad with some other kids there...and than lunch time came...let us just say that it was....interesting...
After lunch....where did she go?
There was this guy I think named Paul who was talking to others about the qualities of the mini rex, what the standards are etc...Angelina of course hogged all the babies time on the table....
I did try to watch the judging...but honestly I could not see behind the boxes to understand what they were doing....I heard some comments..."more in the shoulders" "stained bottom, I dont like to see stains on brokens"....things like that. This one judge was a pretty funny guy...I liked him...but from a few looks I had the feeling he didnt care for a particular person showing...but whatever...
Some lion heads we passed by..
bunnies!
They had a costume show too!
Now I liked this one so very much I even asked the little girl with him if she would lift the top so I could take his picture....well he ended up winning for best costume...see...I have great taste...lol
This was a nice woman we spent some time talking to...she had a dutch as you can see but said her bun was not the right colors so it was DQ'd...it did not win the DQ contest either...
This is the little girl who had the bun that won the costume contest...
Lina watched the judging of this...
NOW!!! Meet a very awesome bun I fell so in love with..that if I could run away with him I would have....
It is a min rex...broken chin...OMG!
It was SO friendly and loving...SO SOFT! Softer than Simon was...it was so cool! The owner...Keith....said he has been trying to breed them, but alas everyone seems to have permanat PMS....I gave him my number and told him to call me should he have a litter of the broken chin..that rabbit was so cool and super chill too....our pictures did not come out the best and do not do the bun justice in the least but here they are....
Here they are getting judged..
It took 2nd....but if you ask me 2nd what...I could not tell you...lol
Keith was nice enough to trust me not to run out the door with his broken chin...so I was able to hold him for awhile!
and of course we ended up at the same place we started at....
Can you guess why she is pouting?
and yes...if not for my awesome powers of restraint....we would have bought her and brought her home...I was - that close......
I stalled...I hemmed and hawed...and I did almost walk out of there with her...and her peanut sister...But I had this thought go through my head....sable point...sable point....sable point...
and I knew I could not have all the buns in the world I would like to...so I did the hardest thing like ever! and handed back both baby girls....
Random thoughts:
It was pretty small. Not one Flem there....It would seem the flemish group seems to come in a pack (the people said) and without Sarah (dougals breeder) none of them came. I said we should have brought him anyway lol...he would have won!!!
Angelina feltthis...bump... this morning...still there, still the same size, not larger, not smaller and does not bother him.
...he was crawling all over her lap..It warmed my heart so much...and at the same time all I could think was how much I miss Simon.
My allergies kicked up hard core at the show. I keep trying to understand what I may be allergic to...could it be just the hay? All these buns sitting in more hay than Simon ever would or did and so the hay comes with on the fur and that sets me off? Is it the fur itself? Is it the dander in the fur?
Now on Dougal...that bump...lets say it is there and it is scar tissue...never goes away. Would a judge who feels that on him DQ him for that alone? I know his hair has to grow out...which sucks now because there is another show in the same town we were at yesterday on Jan 2nd and I want to bring him so bad and try things out...Should I try even if his hair has not grown back in enough? He would be about 4 months old at that point.
I tried to buy the show cage...but no one...not one...had any for sale. Something about the guy who makes them had back surgery or something...I dunno... Not even sure we would have a freaking cage big enough to take him in..the carrier I have is meant for small buns...it worked for a 2 month old Dougal..not sure it would for a 4 month old...
Suppose thats all for now....
Thinking about the Sable POints....Thinking about all the shows coming...Jan 2, Feb 6, Feb 13th.....and I want to take Angelina to all of them....
