Pixie's House of Buns

[PixieStixxxx]

Labrador has returned to his old self:

-Jumping on top of the NIC cage to overlook the livingroom. Sees Royce, and has the ultimate stare down.

-Spend every other hour tearing up newspaper and cardboard boxes when Royce is out of view

-Oh wait! There's Savannah. Must have stare down with her!

I've even witnessed a binky over the cardboard box. Labrador continues to allow me to sit next to him and snuggle him for more than two minutes. Hopefully I can have the same relationship with Labrador that I do with Spank.

I have an update on Kimberly. She recovered from the spay, but has bonded with a poor boy who was head tilt. Kimberly is an older girl - I believe 7 or 8. While Monty.. is again much younger - with head tilt. The shelter asked if taking in the pair would be alright, instead of just Kimberly. I replied with "Having just lost Muffy, I'm not in a comfortable position taking in any more rabbits at the moment. I am trying to bond Spank and Savannah, and if that works out, then I will have an available NIC cage for the two. But right now, I don't think I can squeeze in another NIC cage or even an Xpen in my house" =P

I'm also in college and working full time, I said it may be a little hard to individually care for all the animals in my house if I'm going to be gone a lot. I'm still a bit iffy on more rabbits. I like just having my two boys - Labrador and Spank. My boyfriend has his Savannah, and then there's Royce - the loveable foster.

If Savannah and Spank do successfully bond... I also thought about giving the NIC cage to Royce. Royce is the only bun living in the standard rabbit cage. His owner feels a little bad about it, but I told her it was fine. She wanted to build him one.. but I had no room in the house. So Royce is getting the ultimate condo when he goes home to Ashley.

Savannah was supposed to get spayed this week, but because of Muffy's vet bills, I have to push little Savannah to next month.

It was my first day off from work in awhile. And I had no classes today. So for once - I had nothing to do. Should I maybe go to school and get a head start on my lab assignment? I should.. but there was something that told me to stay home.

Three O' Clock had come, and Vince's cell phone starts buzzing - He had it on silent. Somewhat recognizing the number, I answered his phone.

"Hello?"
"Hi April, I'm calling from King George Veterinary Hospital to tell you that Muffy's ashes had arrived"
...

Total blow. Hearing those two words "Muffy ashes" really hurt. For the first half of the week, I was in complete denial about her death. On the first day, I went as far as pretending she was in the NIC cage with Labrador. In the latter half, I had begun to except she was gone - but it was only partial acceptance.

I had then asked the receptionist what time the veterinary hospital was closed, said my thank you's and got ready. I went to the flower store to buy a bouquet of lilies for the staff at King George and hopped on the bus.

An hour and 20 min. later I had finally arrived. I walked into the animal hospital half an hour before closing and the receptionist immediately retrieved Muffy's urn. She had apologized for not being able to do more, I said it wasn't their fault as Muffy was very old. I handed them the flowers and Dr. Prus thanked me and said she really did hope Muffy would make it.

I would like to thank everyone who has always supported Muffy and myself. Muffy was first seized from a small cage encloser back in the summer of 2003. She has since been in the out of various shelters and homes until she came to me. The Vancouver Rabbit Rescue first rescued Muffy, and she will be remembered as one of the special rabbits there. Small Animal Rescue Society of BC was also involved with her welfare as she became older. I wouldn't know how to cope without the help of RO members, and fellow bunny slave friends. Also, to King George Veterinary Hospital who were the only vets willing to help Muffy on such short notice. They did everything they could, and even offered to take back all of her medication with a refund.

I think I am ready to add a "RIP" next to Muffy's name now..
I love you Muffy, you will always be my special little girl.

For several nights in a row, I have awoken to the sound of bunnies roaming free. "Alright Spank got out again" I murmured, dragging my half asleep legs out into the livingroom where I discovered that yes, Spank had gotten out - but so did Savannah. And here, Spank and Savannah were cuddling and grooming. They had bonded on their own without the help of the human slave.

As I write this blog, it had been only five minutes ago that I had discovered Spank and Savannah have once again found a way to each other. Way back in September, we got Savannah in hopes to bond her with Spank and Spank fully decided that he didn't like her. No big deal we thought, we'll just keep them as two solo buns. But now - only days until Valentines, they realized that they do like each other. <3

I have unblocked the passage leading into Spank's room, where Savannah and Spank both play happily together. And I have opened Savannah's NIC cage where Spank and Savannah again play happily together. My boyfriend (Who owns Savannah) and I have agreed to move her in there.

Royce will finally get out of that pet store rabbit cage, and into Savannah's old NIC Cage. And then I can take out my big cage and use it for Stan!

Oh right Stan. Stan is endangered of euthanization, and has always been my favorite shelter rabbit. He was found in a rainforest park where something nibbled the sides of her ears. When he arrived, he was in serious defensive mode and attacked anything and came within a certain radius of him. I will most likely be taking him since Stan was just like Spank when I brought him home two years ago.

Because Kimberly isn't in any danger, I have decided to no longer take her =[

Awww... self bonding bunnies! That's great news.

And Stan is such a cutie. I say that because he looks so much like my little princess, Jordi! And the nibbled ears give him such character.

Let us know how it goes as soon as he comes home!

It's been awhile!

Before I took Stan home from the shelter, I actually found a new home for him! A very rabbit savvy couple came in, and long story short - they were very interested in Stan, especially since he's such a challenge =P They were willing to take in a rabbit who had trouble finding a home, and it was the perfect opportunity!

Here are some pictures of Spank and Savannah! They sure like to poop a lot - I sweep that room everyday :bunnybutt: <= Those bunny butts sure know how to give their slave a workout!
:faint:

I also realized that I lost all my pictures!! I would love to repost them.. but can't do so without the Edit button :sad:
