Hehe...thank you!

*Rosie makes note to ask Peg to up her security!*

So, I wanted to make the announcement here, too...but we've finally decided on our fifth baby!

His name will be Dusty, and you can read about his story here:

I love the tunnel videos, my girls have a tunnel too, it's a big hit!:thumbup

And little Daisy and Dusty, I want them!!:bunnyheart:bunnyheart

 

[maherwoman]

Hehe...thanks, Michaela!!

Yeah, it was a really big hit here!! Now I wantto buy like three more, and find a way to kinda combine them for atunnel system, or something. They each have tying strings atone end (so you can tie them flat), so I could tie them together, orsome such. Hehe!!

Lucky you! Two adorable lionheads! Yes, she better be stepping up that security!

 

[TinysMom]

Well, my batteries died at the very end of this video...so it is sort of cut short.

As I was telling Rosie though - these two are almost like both sides ofthe lionhead personality. Dusty is actually more friendly while Daisyis more curious and explorative. Both like to play on my desk though.

Daisy looks dirty because she got some banana baby food this morning -after about 15 minutes of trying to say, "No thank you....I'm reallyfull" she took in about 10 cc but she also wore about 2 cc.

And now ....for the Dusty and Daisy show (which I'm sure will be renamed something else at some point in time)...

Hehe...thanks, guys!

I just love their little noses...Daisy with the spot above her nose,and Dusty with that darker brown nose. They just melt myheart...

 

[maherwoman]

OH!! I don't know if I mentioned it or not, butI found out I have baby pics of Dusty, too! The below twobaby photos of Daisy and the other bun...the other bun happens to be myDusty!

Dear Mama,

This is Dusty writing to you. This breeder mama has tried to fool us byputting some medicine in some banana and berry baby food and put it inour cage along with Doc's Rabbit Enhancer. It actually smelled prettygood and Sniffle-Snuffle almost ate some till I warned him....and thenblack monster took some anway. I think its cause mama fostered blackmonster and he's not as smart as our litter.

Would you please tell breeder mama that we're too smart for this trick.

Oops - gotta go pull Daisy away from there....the other two havestarted eating it and Daisy says," If they can eat it...I will too..".

Your Dusty

P.S. We moved out of OUR cage today and into a new one. We'vegot hay too - and breeder mama is supposed to be giving us some of theGOURMET hay tonight too...from Barbi Brown (bunny blend). I'll have tomake sure you know what we think of it.

Oh - and breeder mama says we should come up with a name for the two ofus while we're here and write you notes in the bunny chat area. Do youmind if we do that? I think we will have lots to tell you.

Ooops - there goes Daisy again...gotta hop!

 

[missyscove]

Wow, congratulations. The things thatgo on when I leave the country... I was simply glad to see no one hadbunnynapped my two.

 

[maherwoman]

Hehe...Hi, Sweet Dusty boy!! It's so wonderful to hear from you!!

You two are so cute! I just can't wait to hug you guys and give you so many kisses, you'll BEG me to stop!

I'm not surprised you guys weren't fooled...you are a couplasmarties!! I hope to hear soon that Daisy's (er...Drew's)nose has cleared. What a stinker! Hehe...

Oh, and the new cage! I hope you like it! BreederMama said she would move you guys to a bigger one soon, and that she'llbe giving you a litterbox. I think you'll like having one,specific place to go potty, instead of just going anywhere,hehe!

Take care of each other, ok? Mama's counting the days until we meet!

Love always,

Your Mama

P.S. The three girls here say hello, and send their love to you two!

Hmm... I think I saw Dusty in the Bunny Blog section giving away a secret about little "Daisy"... ?? Is this true??

[maherwoman]

Yep! I do, indeed, have news!!

This morning, Peg was checkin' on the bunnies, and looking Daisy over,and when she gave Daisy her medicine (because she's got a runny nose),she noticed a couple of telltale bald spots right in the area whereboys get them (where the testicles descend)!!

So, it turns out that little Daisy is a BOY!! :shock:

I spent most of today trying to think of a new name for my little boy(which I'm still shocked about, hehe), and finally came up with thename Drew, which means "manly, warrior". I immediatelythought it was PERFECT for my little spunky bunky, and thought that itwould be a great match for Dusty!

So, Dusty and Drew it is!!

I'm gonna have two little boys!!

 

[HoneyPot]

Wheeee, that's going to be SO muchfun!! Can you imagine your little pack of 5 running aroundyour house. Oh man, that's my dream!

[maherwoman]

Yeah...I CAN'T WAIT!!

I'm gonna have TWO boys, not just ONE!!

It's so funny, too, because when I originally talked to Peg, I wanted aboy that looked just like Mr. Tumnus...and looks like that's what Ifound!

Can you believe that? Hehe!!!

I just want to add something here - two things really.

Right now I'm not 100% sure that Drew is a boy...but I'm pretty darnsure. I should know within a week or two as it looks like certain bitsare getting ready to drop. It also doesn't help that this morning whenDrew had a bit of playtime - he ran into Tiny's area - and Tiny chasedhim right out. Tiny usually only does that with agressive does orbucks.

Secondly....while Daisy has a bit of a runny nose - it isn't really badand it appears to happen whenever the rabbitry gets closed up due tocold weather...like maybe there is something that irritates him (lackof fresh air)? As it is - our allergies are driving us fits - so Iwonder if he is allergic to something.

Oh - and also - with Rosie's permission...Dusty is gonna get to do alittle bit of breeding before he goes to the vet and then goes to livewith her. They say the best way to "set" the pattern on brokens is tobreed a broken to a solid colored rabbit that came from a brokenparent. So...I'm going to try it. He's going to mate with 2 or maybe 3older women before goign to the vet. I've whispered in his ear that hecan't go bragging too much about it to Drew though.....

Then again....I may consider breeding Drew once too....I've started thinking about that too.....

Peg

Edited to add: My friend Lisa took four rabbits to the vet tohave them checked for male/female about a month ago because shecouldn't tell. The vet charged her $30 to do so. Lisa told me lastnight - the vet was wrong on all four of them. The buck who hadtesticles that hadn't dropped...was a doe. The does were bucks. Etc.

I told Lisa that hey - I could mis-judge them for FREE! I do it all the time.

Seriously though - its the little bucks that sometimes get me - they look sometimes like a doe until suddenly...poof!

 

[maherwoman]

Hehe!!

I'm so sorry I forgot to mention those things...:embarrassed::foreheadsmack:

And yes, I did indeed say it was completely okay for Peg to breedeither of the boys. All the better to spread the cutenessthroughout the world!

As far as Drew's nose...now that they've been moved indoors, thatshould help prevent it from happening anymore, right?

So, things are wonderful...I'm excited that they're going to be bred(honored, in fact). I'm wonderfully excited to have two boysto add to my herd of wonderfulness. And I'm doubly excitedthat everyone's healthy, happy, and that they both have such beautifulpersonalities. What a sweet, sweet pair...

Love and hugs,

Rosie and the Herd :bunnydance::bunnydance::bunnydance::bunnydance::bunnydance:

I think it's going to take a while to get used to typing the new name, hehe!!

 

[maherwoman]

Quick note: I changed the name of our blog to reflect our new additions!

I figured it just wasn't all that nice to have Girls in the title with two new BOYS coming along!

Hehe!!

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

Congratulations Rosie and gang.:elephant:
