Peg's Place - 2009

I will take the 2nd REW.

Oh Peg, aren't Bunny Kisses just the best. Buttercup is a real smoocher. We get the odd kiss from Daisy Mae, other than them we get NONE from the other 4.

PS

Your babies are adorable.

I have two more bunny stories to tell very quickly - then I need to upload the picture of our winner to my computer.

Last night I locked the cage so that the babies couldn't get out during the night. Of course...the problem with that is that mama nurses about 4 am....

I woke up a little after 3 am to see the babies trying to climb the walls of the cage and mama sitting beside the cage munching on some hay. So I figured I'd open the door.

Super hilarious mistake...

One baby kept getting out of the cage and going for mama. She'd let it try to nurse for a couple of minutes and then move away. Then the baby would run back into the cage - where the others smelled mama all over it.

The first couple of times - the others would flop on their backs and try to get under the baby and nurse from the baby since the baby smelled like mama and milk.

So then the baby would take off - run back out of the cage - find mama - try to nurse again - and repeat the whole cycle. This happened at least four or five times before I had to get some more sleep...

So this morning - Robin made a NIC pen to put around the cage - so we can leave the cage door open and the babies can get in and out - but still stay enclosed and away from mama.

Only no one told this third baby that it was supposed to stay IN the pen area. So it was sitting out sort of by mama a little while ago - when I went to put it back in - it fell out of my hands (but appears to be ok even if it got the wind knocked out of it).

So those are my baby stories....I'll share the identities in just a little while.

 

[TinysMom]

Ok...so it is time to tell which baby is in which story up above.

Who was the first baby completely out of the cage and NIC panels (the third story) earlier today?

THE CHESTNUT baby

Which baby kept climbing out during the early morning hours and trying to nurse off Mama and then bouncing back into the cage?

REW #2 - aka Diego if its a boy

And which baby was the very first one to be caught outside of the cage.....

 

[SOOOSKA]

Oh My Gosh Peg, that baby is just too darn cute.

You are so lucky to have little babies, I'm so jealous.

I woke up this morning to find Darla hiding from a REW baby who was out of the cage and running around.

Later on another one got out - and she jumped up on top of their cage....

Mama is getting pretty frustrated with the babies now on a regular basis...

 

[TinysMom]

As many of you who read the infirmary know - I lost Miss Bea Friday morning at about 3:30 am. I'm not handling it well and to be honest with you - I'm sick and tired of handling deaths well. It was like losing my last tie to Tiny.

I'm going to be doing her Rainbow Bridge thread this weekend and a couple of other things.

I will try to update my blog with baby pictures and videos of Darla's babies in the next week or so - I'm sorry I've let it go so long. But right now - I have no heart for anything. I don't want to celebrate life - I feel too tinged by death.

I'm sorry because I feel like I've let y'all down....I'll post when I can.

[TinysMom]

A very quick update....we just checked the babies (which I'm horrible at being able to check at this age) - and I suspect we have four girls and a boy.

Also - the chestnut is taking on more of the lionhead characteristics and the others are looking more like mama.

Oh - the boy is the chin....of course.

 

[TinysMom]

I just got done making these on Snapfish and ordered them...

Peg, I am so sorry about your recent losses. I don't even know what to say....

 

[TinysMom]

I have GOT to share pictures with you soon....so someone needs to kick my butt if I don't share some in the next 48 hours or so - ok? I may need to charge my camera battery first.

We're starting to really play more with the babies - as they'll let us. They're showing different personalities...

I'm thinking of calling Runty "Echo" from the tv show Dollhouse. She is a leader (in her own way) of trying to escape the pen and she's just an independent little thing.

Chinchilla is tenatively being called "Chin_Victor" since he was used to hearing us call him Chin. Victor is another character on Dollhouse.

The Chestnut baby is currently being called "Chessie-Sierra" after Sierra on the same show. Sierra is more of a...scared character - very much introverted compared to the others. It definitely fits the Chessie's personality. Chessie seems a bit...learning disabled (notice - I did NOT say STUPID). What Chessie lacks in brains - she makes up for in adorable looks.

The other two REWS aren't named yet. Diego may become Adele - watching the personality and want to make sure she is a girl. The last girl...hmm...maybe November or Tango - the other two females on the show. Not sure.

Anyway - I'll try to get pics soon.

Just recording my signature line for this week as I celebrate Miss Bea's life on her Rainbow Bridge thread.

Celebrating Miss Bea's Life This Week

 

[TinysMom]

I was playing around for a bit with my first picture I ever saw of Miss Bea - and had to share it here...

 

[TinysMom]

Darla had an unintended date today when we brought Zeus into the bedroom for pictures on the bed (along with nail trimmings and meds).

Video and more information to come later - but for now...

 

[TinysMom]

So....did anyone find that "kicking butt" emoticon?

If not...I can just take my videos and leave...right?

Oh alright...since you asked nicely...

In the last one - I'm in a skirt but have my fat legs covered up by a blanket - unfortunately - I didn't realize my top was up a bit and showing my belly.

DUH.











I forget which video it is in - but in one of them we burst out laughing because a baby went off the edge of the bed. Art made our bed but it is a bit longer than the mattress - so on the foot end we have about 3" or so of space that if I don't keep blocked - a baby can fall down onto the board under the mattress- and then jump down onto the floor from there....and that is what one did.

 

[TinysMom]

So - back to Zeus and Darla's "date".

Zeus got brought up on the bed (with a bunch of fruit loops to entice him to stay and not jump down) - and Darla noticed him.

The rest...well...we'll let you see...
