I am sooooooo jealous that you got a KitchenAid mixer!!! I'd die for one of those- they're amazing!! Especially the red ones!

:tantrum:

Anyway, so glad to hear that you had a good birthday, and Tallulah is back to being her beautiful self! Now we can see more pictures, yes? :nod
 
Hey guys! Good news, Lulu is still acting great! It's so nice to see her happy and feeling good and running around. She's really been liking the oats I feed her, hopefully it will make her grow! She only weighs 1 1/4 pounds, she's quite the little one. Her parents are both 4 pounds so she has a ways to go! I'm surprised by how young she looks, she's almost 4 months old but is still just a little baby. I know she's grown (our friend who hadn't seen her since she came home was startled by how much bigger she is) and the vet a couple weeks ago said her size is fine. Maybe because Cinnabun was a Netherland Dwarf, he looked full grown at less than 4 months of age and I kinda assumed all baby bunnies were like that. It's really hard for me to imagine her being an adult bunner, I've had her nearly half her life and she's always been my sweet itty baby girl. She'll always be my baby of course, and I know one day she'll be a gorgeous, amazing adult bunny, but I just can't see it yet! Even though I've seen pictures of Holland Lops with her same colors and markings :D

Guess what, Miss Mae is going to Anchorage with us! She's used to being fed twice a day and I'm concerned that if she gets sick while we're gone, the bunny sitter won't notice the subtle signs. He's a great guy, but will only be by once a day for half an hour or so and while he likes the buns, he isn't completely bunny savvy. I'll leave him with everything on how to care for Rory of course, but I'd feel more comfortable bringing Tallulah with us. Based on our experience on the airplane, I think she'll do fine with the drive (6 hours) and I think as long as we're there with her at Paul's parents' house, she'll be happy. I think Rory would prefer staying home for those few days (we'll be gone from Sunday to Wednesday or Thursday) with our friend coming by every day to feed him and let him out to play for a bit. This ALSO means that Tundrakatiebean can meet Tallulah in person! Paul's mom is very much of the opinion that bunnies belong outside in hutches, but last Spring Break she let my ratties live in their house for the week and she says she hates rats (BTW she was sneaking them treats after a couple days) so in comparison, the bunny is nothing. I only wish Tallulah were more litter box trained, I told her that bunnies can be litter box trained but Lu won't be a good example :D I suspect her Xtreme adorableness will more than make up for it, plus we'll bring along a bottle of pee pee cleaner and deodorizer.

Pictures coming soon! Maybe I'll take some this afternoon, if Paul will leave his camera with me while he's at work.

I haven't been able to use my KitchenAid mixer yet, we want to return it to the store and get the higher quality model (the Professional series, has 150 more watts) at Costco in Anchorage when we go down. It will actually cost a little less, plus his mom has a $35 rebate card. They have red mixers there so I'll get to still have a pretty one! I really REALLY want to take this one out of the box though and try it out... How bad would it be if I did? I would wash it very well after using and put it back in the box perfectly. Can I, pleeeeeeeaaaase? Regardless, I will post some pictures of my more spectacular creations and make everyone want to come visit me! Note: bun buns will be locked into their cages the entire time with retina scanning security devices to prevent any bunnappery.
 
I'm so glad Tallulah is back to normal and doing great. Silly rabbit needs to stay better now!

And aw man, I wish I lived in Alaska. :( This would be the perfect time for me to volunteer to watch your bunnies...and maybe return them. Katie is so lucky, she gets to meet her.

Yesss more pictures!! :D
 
Rory and Tallulah are excited (Tallulah a little more so) to announce that they'll be getting a little brother soon!

Maddox Monroe (or maybe Miles Monroe, I'm still trying to decide!):

10 weeks old:

He is Jesse (JAK Rabbitry)'s adorable little bunny boy! We can't wait to get him home

While I am happy with my two babies, I have a nefarious plot to adopt a third bunny a couple years down the road!  Don't tell Paul, I'll need to ease him into the idea nice and slowly.  Muahahaha!

Couple years? More like 20 days ;-)
 
:happyrabbit::yahoo::happyrabbit::yahoo::happyrabbit::yahoo::happyrabbit::yahoo:



How Bunderful! I am sooo happy for you and Monroe...and Rory, and Tallulah and Paul! :bunny18



Glad to hear Lula is doing better. I'm sure she will have a great time on the trip. Make sure to take plenty of pics of your mtg with Katie and Wash. I'm sooo jealous! I wish I could meet Lula and Rory.
 
I'm so happy! Another little bunny! And jealous too..hehe. Maybe this new one will have you so occupied I can sneak Tallulah...

who btw

WON THE BUNSPACE VALENTINES DAY CONTEST
 
Man, I just read that you aren't going to be able to meet up w/Katie and crew! :(That sux!

On another note! CONGRATS to Tallulah for winning the bunspace contest! :bunnydance::bunny18
 
Yay, Lu won the contest! Hooray for free 6 months VIB membership! I have such a cute little bun. I feel sad for the bunnies that placed last, they're just as cute as her. My feelings would be hurt I think if my bunny placed last out of 170-odd bunnies. Hehe, I didn't know she'd won until I read what Montana posted!

Dev2C is Paul :) He got an account here so he could post about the bunnies if he ever needed or wanted to. He'll probably be popping in from time to time!

Thanks for the congrats, everyone! I hope we can get Monroe home easily. I made a big post about it on the main forum, but basically if he flies straight here, he'll be traveling for 20 hours (darn you, 7 hour layover!!) AND the airline he'll be on only flies into Anchorage, so we'd need to be down there to pick him up. Then he'd have a 6 hour long drive home a day or two after his flight. Sigh. I wish things could be easier! There's another flight out of Cleveland, Ohio which would only mean traveling for 13 hours, but Jesse would have to drive 150 miles to the airport.

I will definitely take pictures tonight, guys! I've weighed both bunnies on my new kitchen scale, Rory actually fits in the bowl! It says he weighs 4.25 pounds, but I could swear he feels a lot heavier than that. To fit both bunnies in it, I have to put them on their backs with all their little feet in the air. Luckily, they don't seem to mind. It's pretty funny, I'll get pictures of it.

Both bunners are doing well. I've been increasing Tallulah's amount of pellets very slowly, and no poopy butt yet! Hooray! Grow, baby, grow! We're also going to pick up some alfalfa hay for her today.

Rory made Paul and I laugh like crazy a few minutes ago. One of his favorite toys is a paper cup with the bottom cut out. He shoved his head in the cup and it got stuck! So he was sittin' there shaking his head and trying to groom it off. We grabbed the camera, but he got it off before I could take a picture. NOT dignified at all!

What do you guys think we should call the new bun? I want a name that starts with an M to go with Monroe. I like Maddox Monroe and Miles/Myles Monroe best, but I just can't decide. We'll call him by both names. I also thought of Micah Monroe, Malachy Monroe (MAL-uh-kee, it's Irish) , McKinley Monroe (both Alaskan and Irish, like the other bun names!), Matthias Monroe, Matteo Monroe, and Milo Monroe.
 
Lol! I thought that might have been Paul! I was thinking it was slightly odd for someone's first and only post to be in a blog (Not that that's bad at all- it's just usually that first posts are asking for advice or in the intro section)... And then I read the location and thought 'oh, that's near Shiloh!'.... And then I read the bunnies were Tallulah and Rory, and the penny dropped lol!!

:foreheadsmack:

I love the name Malachy for a bun- it's Irish, and aren't your other buns names Irish too? Plus to me, Malachy reminds me of mischief, and Monroe has that look about him!! :p

It'd be soooo great if you found a way for him to get to you, I'm crossing all my fingers and all my buns' paws in hope for you guys! :D
 
Here are the promised pictures! There are only a couple, but I have VIDEO, too! Paul picked up a new charger for my camera so I don't have to use his anymore, hooray! This also means that I can take lots and lots of videos now! The first video is of Rory, the second is Tallulah and the third is most Tallulah and a little Rory. Aren't my babies cute? I also have a funny picture of Paul he gave me permission to post, but I forgot to take it off my camera and am feeling lazy. Will do tomorrow!

Paul and I will be changing the dates of our visit to Anchorage so we can pick Monroe up from the airport then. He'll be flying Continental and they don't go to Fairbanks. He's going to have quite the adventure, first a cross country flight, then an overnight in Anchorage at Paul's parents house, then a 6 hour drive home. Whew! I will have everything ready for him when we get home so he can start to settle in ASAP. I'm so excited! We'll probably fly him here in 3 weeks or so, that sounds good to me. I feel pretty confident in the airline (here's the link to how they handle pets, he'll be going QuickPak: http://www.continental.com/web/en-US/content/travel/animals/default.aspx ) and Jesse will be having the vet check him out and then bring him to the airport.

Still haven't decided what the little guy's first name will be, I might not figure it out until we meet him!

Anyway, onto the pics. Rory was feeling a little grumpy tonight, but still wanted pets. He also bit me for the first time on my wrist! It didn't hurt really, but it surprised me and kind of hurt my feelings. I told him "NO!" and put my hand over his head, gently pressed his head to the floor and stayed like that for about 10 seconds. I probably should have put him back in his cage and then ignored him. I will do that next time it happens!

This one makes me smile, I might submit it to Disapproving Rabbits:

Here is the first video of Rory, it's taking a REALLY long time to upload the photos to Photobucket so the other two will be coming along when they're finished:




 
Here are the other two videos! I accidentally kinda poked Tallulah in the eye in the second one, but she didn't seem to mind. I guess that's what happens when you're looking at something through the camera's LCD instead of looking right at them!





Next time I'm just posting links to videos! Why didn't I think of that an hour ago?
 
Good news, everyone! I just weighed Tallulah and he has gained 4 ounces since last Thursday! How is that even possible? I guess the oatmeal's really doin' it's job! I'm so glad she's getting bigger and fatter, I congratulated her heartily :biggrin2: She's now at 1 1/2 pounds!
 
Happy 4 month birthday, Tallulah! :birthday:brown-bunny:clapping:

Today not only is she 4 months old, but I have officially had her for half her lifetime! The past two months have gone by SO quickly, it's amazing. I love Tallulah like crazy and am really happy she's here, the journey to bringing her home was long but it's been wonderful! I was thinking about the bunnies today, and I realized something. When I brought Rory home, he made me think of Cinnabun a lot and it always made me sad because I missed Cinny so much. Remembering him was very bittersweet because I wanted him here with me now. Rory was the first bunny I had after Cinny, which is why I thought of him all the time. For whatever reason, Tallulah has helped me to look back on Cinnabun with less sadness. I still miss him, but I don't just think about him being gone when I think about him. Way to go, Lulu!

Here are some pictures in honor of Tallulah's 4 month birthday, I like the ones with my stripey pants because I have similar pictures taken when she was 9 weeks old!
