Rosie's Bunny Wonderland 2008

Aww...thank you, Bassetluv!! I'll let him know you think he's the handsomest of handsomes.

:biggrin2:

*Gawks at the size of his ears* Whaaaaaow! :biggrin2:He's getting BIG! How much does he weigh right now? At what age are they full-grown? Hihi sorry for all the questions... I love Flemish!

 

[maherwoman]

Hi Sophie!

He's over 9lbs now (though it's time to weigh him again, so who knows what that scale will tell me...it always surprises me!). The last time I weighed him (a couple weekends ago), he was 8.6lbs...so I'm estimating it's over 9lbs now.

Isn't he handsome?

He's so cute, too...he and Flower are totally smitten with each other. He dances and sings for her...even climbed the side of the cage to see if he could get out, so he could go "visit" with her!! :shock:

Oh, the hormones...lol!!

Just a quick post...

I've been asked by Peg to post to let everyone know about this, so here goes...

A couple weeks ago, we decided not to fly home the trio from Peg's house. I won't go into the reasons why, as they're just too personal, and I don't want to go into this in a public forum. I wasn't even going to post about this, as it was something I'd rather not share in a public place. However, due to the fact that Peg would like to post about them without receiving dozens of questions, I decided that a quick post is something I could do.

Please don't flame or PM me about this... This is just too painful, and I think I would rather just be able to move on with my life from this point.

I'm not posting this for sympathy, or drama, or anything of the sort...as I said, I'm just posting due to a request.

So, hugs to you all...

Rosie*

P.S. We will still be flying Teddy home, and might possibly have the opportunity later on to rescue buns (once we move), but other than that, there are no intentions to further add to our herd at this time.

There's no need for anyone to flame you for this Rosie....and I thank you for posting it.

Art & I have decided to definitely keep Billy Sunny (having him go off his food really showed us how much we love him) and I wanted to be able to talk about him....not sure yet about Harley & Audrey...

But thanks for posting this for me....now I won't feel bad for talking about Billy or the others...

:biggrin2:

Rosie, I wish you the best with the bunnies you do have! You are a great bunny mom. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I don't see why anyone would think less of you really, it's not like you flew them to California and then ditched them at the animal shelter on the way home or anything! And Peg is fine with the decision too, so who is anyone else to judge? Your bunnies are gorgeous and adorable and I don't know how you do it all with soon to be 9 bunnies! In a couple days, I will have 3 buns and that seems like a great, manageable number to me (though we might get a 4th someday in the future).

Do you have any updates on Teddy? Mr. Monroe is coming home the day after tomorrow! And may I request photos of the bunnies, especially Miss Flower? How big is Tiny now? I want to name my flemmie Minnie (like Mini) if it's a girl (I'm determined to have a flemmie one day)!

I am proud of you, Rosie . Rescuing and fostering bunnies will be so great for you. It is awesome because you will get the rewarding feeling of saving lives. Plus, it's kind of like getting a new bunny over and over again....and knowing that each one will fall into a loving home.

:biggrin2:

Hi Rosie - just found your blog - and its great! Loved the video and I agree that Sweetpea is half bun/half pig; Baxter! honks (now I know what that sound is)when I pick him up to move him from upstairs to downstairs - but nothing that loud! LOL!

And I love teeny's ears - it almosst looks like he has a pair of "fake" ears on their so big, what a cutie though.

Hugs back - Julie and Baxter!

Everything happens for a reason. :biggrin2:

Wow...my birthday this year was one to beat all! My husband spoiled me ROTTEN!!

My birthday was actually yesterday, but since Danny was home during the weekend, we went out Sunday to celebrate.

So, we went to the mall, and we wound up in JC Penney's...where they were having a HUGE sale! Danny said, "Well, what were you thinking you'd want?" And at that, we wandered around, and he bought me a few things.

The first of which, we happened to pass, and it was just something that caught my eye...a purse. Now, I've never spent more than $20 on a purse, and even with this sale, we didn't spend a whole lot more than that. But I usually only get purses at Target, etc. Well, I really loved this purse, and with the sale, it wound up being about $25.

Here's the purse that Danny bought me. I love that it's really basic, but has enough color to it, that it could go with just about anything I wear. I've been trying to add a lot more color to my wardrobe (takes bravery, I tell ya!), so this was a perfect thing to buy!

And here's a picture, for those that don't wanna click on the link, hehe!

So, we wander on a bit, and come across something I've been on a quest for, for YEARS now! And it happened to be just PERFECT! I've been wanting a simple charm bracelet, with a heart hanging from it. You'd be surprised how difficult it is to find that!

And we found the perfect one!

Here's a picture of it, and the heart charm that it came with...first side ("Family" with a heart):

Back side of charm (kind of a family tree type thing):

So then, we walked around, on a quest for a bunny charm. We went to a few places we saw, including JC Penney's and Macy's and a few silver places in the mall, but didn't find a whole lot. I mentioned to Danny that I would've loved to get a bunny charm, but the only ones I saw were Playboy bunny charms (and if you know me, you know that just isn't my style, lol). So, I stopped by a Piercing Pagoda, and found a pretty little butterfly charm. Here's a picture:

And then we went out to dinner, and went home. I had such a lovely day, just spending time with my family, and getting a few really special things.

So, yesterday, my actual birthday, Danny went out and wanted to find me something special as a surprise gift (since I was obviously there for the gifts we'd gotten the day before).

When he came home, and I opened what he bought me, I cried!

He walked in and first of all handed me a beautiful purple iris...so delicate and beautiful! And then he handed me my gift...a beautiful, butterfly puzzlebox jewelry box. It's so beautiful...made handcrafted from wood, just gorgeous! Here's a picture:

When I opened it (which takes three steps), I started crying. Inside were a couple of charms that Danny bought me. One of which is a jackalope (he tried to find a bunny, but I actually really love that it's a jackalope) and the other is a little rollerskate (something I really love). Here are a couple pictures of them:

My cute little jackalope:

And my teeny tiny rollerskate (you should see the detail on it!):

My husband is so thoughtful and wonderful. He really went all-out to make my birthday a really wonderful occassion! From last weekend, and the wonderful things he bought me then (the dress, mug, amethyst bracelet, and amethyst tree, as well as the hotel stay and all the wonderful RenFaire experiences we had), to this weekend and the things he bought me. He's just wonderful...spoils me rotten.

He said that he wanted to make my birthday this year really really special and just full of wonderful things...since last year was really really sad. And ya know what? Just going out to dinner and maybe a movie, and receiving maybe some flowers would've been more than enough...but he went so above and beyond things in doing all the little special things. I couldn't ask for a more wonderful husband.

So, there ya go! My birthday experience!

Hugs to all,

Rosie*

Aww Happy Birthday Rosie! Your hubby sounds like a wonderful man - that is gift enough (but hey - glad to hear he is spoiling you!).. Great jewelry box - never seen one before. :birthday

 

[maherwoman]

Thank you!!

Oh yes, my family is the most precious gift of all...which is why I went with the Family bracelet. I was really happy to see it there!

I am so blessed...

 

[SnowyShiloh]

Rosie, I'm so glad that you had such a nice birthday! It sounds really lovely. I like your charm bracelet, too. I have my grandmother's charm bracelet, she loved it and collected many charms over the years.

Mylo wants to tell you that he thinks Teddy would be the best belated birthday present of all!

 

[maherwoman]

AWW!! Thank you for the picture!! Look at that handsome face!! :biggrin2:

 

[slavetoabunny]

Happy Birthday!!!! It's sounds like you had a wonderful day. Danny is such a sweet husband.

 

[maherwoman]

Thank you! Yes, I had a really wonderful birthday...Danny really made it extra special this year. So much better than the planning-a-party-no-one-could-come-to birthday we experienced last year!

 

[MsBinky]

EEEEEEEEEEEE HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSIE!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I missed that :?

Ok, I must say, Danny is a total sweetheart. hihi. I love everything you got but definitely the best is the box with the charms inside. That box is gorgeous! How cool is that that it's a puzzle??? And, I find it special how just recently you were taking a break from the forum to invest more time with your family and now the perfect charm pops up. Hihi.

Oh and I wanted to say, I pity the person who will bug you about the trio. Seriously, with everything you've done, I think you have done more than your fair share in the bunny world. I still couldnt do what you do Rosie, with that many buns in the house, a child, a hubby, and a house to look after. I wish you all the best in everything you undertake.

 

[maherwoman]

Aww...Sophie...:hug:

Thank you so much! What a wonderful birthday this year.

And Danny is just stellar, isn't he? I really found the perfect guy when I found him. (Actually, technically, he found me, hehe!)
