Thanks, guys!!

I'm really excited about my new little girl and her addition to the Rosie Crew!

And one handy piece of information I got from Peg today is this:

Daisy had been digging in her litterbox like crazy the day before therunny nose started, so she says it's probably that she just got toomuch ammonia in her nose (even though Peg keeps them clean, it's justthat there was any in there at all, and she got a nose-full).So, her nose is just irritated from it...and she should be just fine ina couple days.

Peg's giving her some meds just in case, though, and to help her out a little.

Whew!! *Sigh of relief*

Oh, and I thought I should post for anyonereading about the fact that I'm getting two new bunny friends andwondering how on EARTH I can manage that with how small our placeis. Here's our plan:

1. Get Flower and Maisie spayed and FULLY healed.

In the meantime...

Daisy will grow up, get weaned from Mama, and Peg will get her spayedon her end (it's cheaper). Peg will also get her used to hername D), and get her used to the kind of food my girls areeating...so when she gets here, she's all good-to-go, and ready forbonding with the girls!

As far as my second baby, I'm not quite sure who that will beyet. I wanted to take a baby from Jesse (JAK Rabbitry), butI'm not sure if the timing will work out, as I would like them bothhere (and either already altered and healed, or have the second babyarrive sooner and do it in time for both to be all healed) and readyfor bonding all five at the same time. I might go withchecking out the East Valley Shelter when the time comes around (maybea couple weeks beforehand so I don't have two bunnies adjusting at thesame time...we'll see).

Bottom line, I have a feeling everything will just fall into place withthis. If we wind up just taking Daisy, then it's just Daisythat's the new addition.

Basically, I'm going to take one day at a time. It'll be sometime before Daisy winds up being able to be here (might be Sept beforeshe's here), but I'm willing to wait for the pieces to fall togetherjust right. In the meantime, I'm completely comfortable withher being with Peg...I trust Peg completely, and know she will doeverything possible to make sure everything goes wonderfully smoothlyfor both of us.

This is so exciting! And once I get these next one or twobabes...that's it for me. Any new additions would have towait until we get a house, as I cannot take anymore floor space, and Idon't want to reach maximum occupancy in the cage(s). I wantthem to still all have PLENTY of room to run around and not feelcrowded.

Another thing to note: when we get a house (may be as much as a yearaway, maybe less...we'll see how things fall into place for that, too),we'll have a bunny room, or have their cage in our room and have afostering room...or maybe even have a bunny room for our "keepers" anda fostering room. We'll see how it works out...but the placehas to have room for my dream of fostering and bunnysitting andsuch.

So, there ya go...there's our plan!

We'll see what the future holds...but one thing's for sure.This little fluffball that will now go by the name of Daisy is the bunfor me and will make a PERFECT addition to our little clan.Each of our buns are so amazing and wonderful in their own specialways! I'm excited to see who our fifth bun will be...

Hugs to all!!

Rosie,

I looked at Daisy today. Her nose is still slightly damp but it hasgone down noticeably. I think it will be totally gone by Friday at thelatest.

I also noticed in another litter I had one with the damp nose - and it was the smallest one in that litter too.....

My girlfriend says she tends to have it when they're about to be weanedor being weaned and they get a tiny bit stressed....and that it goesaway pretty quickly. She couldn't get over Daisy's love of litter-boxdigging and said that the majority of times she sees a nose like this -it is from a digger too...and she dumps her litter boxes every otherday.

So she should be fine....she managed to thump me off today while I wasgetting into the cage to check the rest of the litter. She wantedNOTHING to do with me.

Should be interesting....I think I'll use cheerios to bring her around to seeing that humans can be fun...

But honestly? I'm glad she's going there in September. I can't handle two rabbits that are like Miss Bea!

Daisy is adorable! Tumnus told me today that heapproves of this name for his long distance little sis because that isthe name of his true love, Daisy Mae.

Im glad to hear she's feeling better, Peg. She sounds like a littlestinker though! I love those pics of her in the hat. She is just toocute. I cant wait to see more!

:bunnydance:

There are baby mini-lops... not up for adoption yet, but still, look at that...

 

[maherwoman]

Hehe...you guys are too funny!!

Thank you for the compliments on my new baby girl...I can't wait untilSeptember!! BUT...I know waiting is what's good for allinvolved, so I'll try to remain patient. It'll just allow us(Hubby and I) to be able to complete getting the Contractor's License,and build up the finances...so that, by the time she's here, she'llhave more toys than she'll know what to do with!!

Peg...hehe!! I'm tellin' ya...I love that bunnyspunkitude. It truly does warm my heart to know my baby's gotsuch PERSONALITY!!

Haley...in truth, her name was definitely meant forher. I hadn't really thought of names yet, and when the threeof us (Hubby, daughter, and I) looked at her picture, we all threethought of the name Daisy. It's funny how a bunny can tellyou from so far away, isn't it? Hehe!! Truth betold, though, for a bit earlier, I did consider Susan...so she could gowith the Narnia theme.

MissysCove...I don't want to look quite yet, as I want to takeDaisy with us to see who she prefers. We're not quiteconvinced yet we want a fifth just yet...as we want to wait and see ifshe bonds well with Maisie (since Flower and Trixie have alreadydecided to be buds). If Maisie decides she'd prefer to besolitary (which is a very real possibility), then we'll take Daisy withus and see what friend she'd like to have.

Hugs to everyone!!

Well, I thought you might enjoy today's updateon Daisy. I promise - I won't update on a daily basis - but I have toshare about today.

First of all - her nose is almost done being damp. A slight bit nearthe nostril - but not much at all. That's her health update.

Now for her personality update.

When I went to feed them tonight and was putting the food bowl in thecage, she somehow managed to get the door and try to shut it on me.When I reached down to put the scoop back in the bucket - she hadactually closed the door but couldn't latch it 'cause the latch was onthe outside.

So I looked at it and said, "Good girl Daisy!" and she looked at me andthen she flicked me off while hopping to the back of the cage.

Then she THUMPED at me. All the other rabbits turned and looked at her.I said in a loud, but not mean voice, "Daisy! You thumped at me!"

And she thumped again.

hmm....

Anyway - that is today's update.

Peg

 

[maherwoman]

HEHE!!! That's my girl!!!

YAY!! So happy to hear that her nosey is almost cleared!

I can't believe she tried to close the door on you AND thumped, toboot!! :shock: What a stinker!! You're making me all the more eager....hehe!!

 

[JadeIcing]

Ohh man.

 

[maherwoman]

So...

Peg told me today that Daisy's nose is completely cleared up...so YAY!!!

And now, onto the festivities of the other night...

We bought the girls a little tunnel toy (vinyl thing with a hole in themiddle for good tunneling fun)...and they've given me quite the ravingreview so far!

Now fair warning, Trixie wouldn't come out for the fun duringplaytime... But I promise to get a good few videos of herin the tunnel, too.

We started with Maisie...and she came out and played for about an hourstraight!! She hasn't done that for about a yearnow, so it was a real joy to spend time with my little Sweetheart.

Here are the videos we got from our Maisie fun (my apologies for thedark ones...there are some that are better lit in the bunch, Ipromise!):



















And here are some from our fun time with Flower...













And a couple for random fun:



This one's real dark, sorry...



And this one's hard to hear what's being said, but it's funny:

My husband says, "I suppose I say hello..."

Then he says, "My wife is very dedicated."

And finally, "E.T. phone home..."

Heehee, goofball!

 

[JadeIcing]

Very funny vids.

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

I love your vids! How many times do Ineed to say it!!?? Hee Hee. I loved themall. I have figured my camera out, so I will have some upsoon.

 

[The BUNFATHER]

Dear Rosie,

I wanted to let you know that I'm keeping an eye on Daisy for you. Momsays she's really cute but that she has the potential to be anotherMiss Bea. I've told mom that it can't be THAT bad at this young of anage...can it?

Anyway, I won't let her be part of my harem...but I will make sure tocheck the forum and share stories with her about her new sisters (justin case mom forgets).
