Silly Rabbits

[katt]

thanks guys!

hannah- it does suck that we don't live closer, bunny play dates would be so much fun! and i am glad you enjoyed the blog!

okay, gotta run, be back later tonight with more update and maybe more photos!!!

**thinking about serving some pumpkin tonight and that always means good times and good pics!

 

[katt]

ug.

just wanted to say that chaucer figured out how to open his cage.

normally wouldn't be an issue at all, except that winnie is free range, and not to keen on sharing space with a boy still.

so i wake up this morning to a squeal. jump out of bed to winnie pulling a chunk of fur off chaucer's back and chaucer trying to get away.

got into the fight to split them up when winnie decided to take a bite out of my leg.

guess that is what i get for getting in the way. lol

everyone is okay though. winnie got a firm talking to and is now making amens for biting me by giving me a great cuddle in bed. and chaucer is back to his normal self just lacking a few peices of hair.

all in all, bunny fight= katie bleeds. . . but i am happy that neither winnie or chaucer were hurt.

and now, chaucer's cage is binder clipped shut. that should hold him in.

 

[katt]

so a quick update before i head to bed.

on a personal note it felt great to get out of the house for a few house today. i have been fighting a cold, and did some massive damage to my back. leading me to lay in bed most of the past couple of days with my heating pad and the internet as my only friend lol.

well, besides the bunnies!

so i did a little shopping today, went to a couple thrift stores, bought a pair of pants, 2 sweaters, and a winter coat. . . everyone should know that i am addicted to cloths lol. i have far to many then what anyone needs. i love cool, indie, funky cloths and do most of my shopping at thrift stores.

anyway the buns are good. chaucer got spoiled the other day (winnie to a little bit) they both got new litter pans, and chaucer got lots and lots of new toys for his cage. i gotta spoil him a little with toys as winnie has never been interested in playing with them. i finally have a rabbit again that likes to play with bells and toss wooden balls around and stuff. but was a little shocked when my rabbit bill came to over $60!! but i just had to remind myself that that was with litter and hay (this time of year i buy the kaytee stuff as bales of nice hay aren't as easy to find) also. . . next i really need to get a new cage for chaucer, he has way outgrown his, and i would already have one for him, if i could just decide what kind of cage to get. so for the meantime i guess it just means that he gets to have lots of run around time

and winnie is just slightly upset with me, cause the buns got the same veggies 2 night in a row. i normally give them something different each night. . . well kinda, i normally always give them parsely (cause i can get nice sized bunches of them at superwalmart for like 25 cents a peice) and a different green to go with the parsley. well, they got collard greens the past 2 nights and she thumped at me! spoiled little girl!

okay, how about a few pics? i don't have many, these are just some that have been hanging on my memory card for a while that i am finally getting to upload to photobucket and share!

winnie seems to always be disapproving of something lol!

and chaucer is my sweet little boy. they are like complete opposites!

and here is just a cool pic that i took over the summer of some oxen!

okay, winnie is sitting on my bed, nosing around for the heating pad. must be time for sleep lol. she is used to already being tucked into the covers by now for our nightly reading session (i read, she lays and gets nose rubs) and chaucer has just officially DBFed into his litterbox, and is closing his eyes as we speak. night everyone!

 

[hartleybun]

i know winnie would disapprove but i think she's sweet - as is chaucer. good luck in getting the new cage for him

 

[fuzz16]

AWW thier both adorable and the oxen are cute! LOL

 

[katt]

aw thanks guys!

for a nice morning update:

chaucer decided that during the night he would master the art of moving his litterbox. his new one is a corner box that attaches to the wall of the cage with little mount things. if you tilt and pull it right then it comes right out.

so yeah, he moved it, and placed all of his toys in it last night.

i should add that he moved it to the other side, and has it facing the other wall of the cage. the wall that look directly to the head of my bed. so now he can sleep right next to me lol(he likes to sleep in his litter box). when i woke up he was so excited to show me what he did that he started to binkie around his cage and ran into his food dish, tripping and falling. i couldn't help but laugh

. . . oh the rabbits i own

also to add that winnie is laying next to me, completely unimpressed with the antics of the lesser thingshe calls annoying.

 

[fuzz16]

LOL wow Chaucer sounds like such a charecter!!!

 

[katt]

yes, chaucer is . . . different . . . lol, you could even say 'special'

and he refuses to sleep outside of this litter box, and refuses to have said litter box anywere but pushed up against the side of the cage next to my bed, facing my bed.

guess my little momma's boy rabbit just wants to sleep close to me lol.

i feel so loved!

okay, i should get to sleep, or at least try to. time to put a movie on and crash!

 

[katt]

well, i only have a few minutes, but i thought i would update. everything is going good here. i am getting ready to head out to my parents house.

winnie is staying home, but i am loading chaucer up to come with me. he is begging for katie time, and i feel kinda bad cause i have been working and sick all week. and he does love car rides, so what the heck! lol

he seems excited. i took the carrier out and set it by his cage and he is doing binkies all over the place and his tugging on his door (he has learned how to open his cage when he wants, by tugging on it, so there is now a clip to keep it closed, but he still tries).

on another happy note we are already at 1200 on the sigs for the pitt petition. can't stress this enough. people need to sign!

i posted on craigslist for my area (northern lower michigan), but if anyone else wants to start plastering this places, here is what i have been writing:

PLEASE SIGN PETITION: help save 2 innocent pit bulls!

please help save 2 pit bulls that were court ordered to be put to sleep for barking at a person (no violent action/biting/ect), court order was appealed by owners. please help.

please visit this site for full story!

and please sign this petition!
[url]http://www.petitiononline.com/c2c3p5d8/petition.html[/url]

so yeah, people help! the next court date is jan 15, we want at least 2,000 names by then, that is only like 800 more!

okay, gotta get going. . . chaucer wants to get on the road!

 

[fuzz16]

that is ridiculous how cruel people can be...if it had been a poodle they woulda been aw cute

 

[RosemaryVanDeuren]

I really enjoyed seeing all your bunnies' pics! It seems like they have a very happy life with such a loving bunny-mama Winnie is hilarious! She has so much personality! I like your 'Silly Rabbit...' Latin tattoo also!

 

[katt]

Thanks Rosemary, yes, my buns do have a great life I hope. I love seeing them happy, so I can't help but make them happy as much as possible. And my tattoo means a lot to me. I wanted something different, and I found it.

So I should be cleaning my apartment right now, cause it is trashed lol, but instead I am going to update my blog first, cause I simply have no motivation.

So Chaucer got to go on a trip with me yesterday, took him out to my parent's house for the day. He LOVES the car, I put his blanket in the passanger seat, and he just flops and chills for the whole ride. My roommate has decidedI need to buy a purse ment for holding a little dog, and take Chaucer with me everywere, cause he just loves being out and about and meeting people. I don't think we will go that far, but he certainly will come with me more often on outings.

I am currently listening to Ingrid Michealson's verson of "Can't Help Falling In Love" and it is amazing. Her voice is so pretty.

It is Day 2 with blue skys in michigan. It feels great. During the winter it can get so depressing outside with weeks of grey skies. I am hoping that the blue skies and sun will melt the mass amounts of snow and ice on my roof, as it has reached a scary level. We have SO many icicles and a snow drift over the front of our roof. I keep waiting for it to crash down by itself, but I am thinking I will have to call my friend. One of the guy's at workoffered to knock it all down for me, as I was complaining that I have a huge fear of me doing it and getting dumped on by snow and ice.

I really do need to get busy, I have a HUGE amount of stuff to get done today:

-Clean apartment

-go buy food, I have nothing to eat in the place

-rabbit cages need to get completely cleaned

-make a trip to goodwill, just went thru and cleaned my closet out and have piles to donate

-finish my dress (I bought a 3 dollar dress witha broken zipper, and am working on revamping it, looks good so far, took the back zipper out and put in corset lacing down the back. . . needs work on the front still, andI need to take it in a little as I was bigger when I bought it)

. . . and that is all I have at the top of my head. . . oh, I also need to go recyle, have tons of cardboard and glass to take back. . . add that to the list.

Anyway, time to get busy, I will try to photo update later! Or at least, give a better bunny update. . .

 

[Myia09]

My rabbits always rearrange thier litter boxes too! I love winnie!

 

[katt]

i would like to start out with saying that i am currently sitting in bed with a box of cold pizza, picking off the olives (my roommate ordered olives on the pizza, yuck!) and dipping it in ranch.

perfect end to my day. sadly this is how eating has gone the past few days. . . so much for eating healthy and trying to lose some weight.

so moving on. the buns are good. chaucer finally got his new cage! and it is a big one! i bought an extra-large breed dog kennel (big enough for a great dane) only problem is that i currently don't have room in the bedroom for it cause we have an extra couch that ended up in my room. i have to wait a whole nother week to get the unwanted sofa to goodwill as i need my dad's truck!

my poor little boy has had a few adjustment issues with the new cage. it is currently out in our kitchen, in an empty spot by our back door. he is used to sleeping right next to my bed, at eye level with me. and now he is all lone. so at night i am waking up at about 3 or 4 am to him thumping cause he is lonely. so i grab my throw blanket, and go sit with him for an hour or so every night, and i eat. another bad point to losing weight. just imagine:

the house is all dark except the low light above the stove. it is 3 am and everything is so silent you can hear the cat clock ticking seconds by on the wall and every few minutes a loud "thump!" of a sad bunny. katie tumbles out of bed in her baggy pj pants and tank top, mutters to herself while looking for the other pink bunny slipper, gives up on finding said pink bunny slipper so just keeps going wearing one slipper and one bare foot, hair all tangled and everywere, maybe a little dried drool on the lip. . . with a warm fleece throw dragging on the ground behind her. stumble, stumble, and a few grunts as she walks thru the hall, clipping her shoulder on the door frame cause she is still half asleep and not watching were she is walking. grab a fork out of the draw, and a double-layered, chocolate cake with white buttercream frosting that her roommate decided to by for funsies from the local bakeryoff the counter. no, not a slice, but the CAKE. sit down on the floor, open rabbit cage, pet bunny, lean against the wall, and start eating the cake right out of the bakery box that it came in. calm sad bunny down, cuddle and talk with bunny for a while. end up falling asleep leaned against the wall with fork stuck in the cake and chaucer crawling into my lap to sniff the sugar laced box of goodness. katie snores, startles chaucer, who freaks runs back to his cage, thumps a few times then dashes to his litter box for protection.

this is what happened last night. the night before that it was basically the same, only with a pint of ben and jerry's chubby hubby, and before that, we had mini cheese cakes sitting out for my night snack.

maybe i need to start leaving fruit sitting on the counter.

but anyways, i am stuck with what to do for my little boy. i am getting an old shirt of mine to put in there (it smells like me) and i was thinking about leaving the radio on by his cage super low, so maybe that will help. everyone at work keeps teasing me because i am so worried about my rabbit sleeping by himself. but many don't understand that for the last like 3 months he has been right next to my bed. when i wake up in the morning he is there watching me, waiting for me to get up and say hi. he sees me open my eyes and he goes crazy with binkies.

it makes me feel so guilty cause he was in such a small cage, but now i gave him a huge cage and he hates it. . . ugi feel like i am failing him.

on other news i am still waiting to hear from a member of this board needed to rehome their female rabbit, i am willing to foster her for as long as needed to find her a new home. she looks so cute in her pics. wish they would email me back with what is going on.

winnie is good, if not great. she is currently spreading her hay around my bedroom and rearranging her blanket (she has a green toss blanket on the floor to dig into and sleep all cuddled up in). she hates when i work these 4 day stretches (4 10 hour shifts every other week in a row), it leaves her home to much alone. so when i got home tonight (it is day 3) she came bolting to the door, then got upset when i went to the bathroom and closed the door on her (sorry, but i like to potty alone lol). then she fallowed me around some more and settled in my bed for a little while and tried to steal bites of pizza. . . i finally got annoyed at her attempts at pizza theft and gave her nightly hay. she has since been involved only in that, and is ignoring me for the most part. sometimes having her feels like i have a really annoying 5 year old with a lisp fallowing me around asking me "why?" after everything i say. . .

and that is my update for tonight. . . sorry no pics again, but i have tues and wen off so i will for sure be updating pics in the blog then!

okay, crawling off to the bathtub for a nice, long, hot bubble bath then going to bed. . . only one more day of work then i have some time off. . .

 

[SOOOSKA]

Katie, I love reading your blogs, you describe things so well.

Your Bunnies are ADORABLE. I look forward to many pictures of the beauties.

Susan

 

[jessicalovesjesse]

Oh Winnie how I love you so.
:inlove:

 

[katt]

so I was just going to head to bed, but my mind feels so full of everything right now, that I decided maybe a blog entry before I crash will make sleep come a little easier.

a powerfull story for today was while at work I told a friend that I was getting another bunny as a foster. . .

with a judgmental look he just kinda shrugged and said "you know, you can't save the world"

and me without thinking said one of the most profound things that may have ever escaped my lips:

"I know, but I can save hers"

and he just kinda looked at me for a long few seconds. It was in those few long seconds that I think we both understood something: I am doing what I have always wanted to do, making a positive impact on life. . . my life, his life, anyone or anythings life.

i think he walked away a little envious of me, because i am so sure of the choices i make, and the lives i involve myself in and he is stuck on "self", doesnt get the feeling of happiness from helping others because he doesn't help others unless it completely benifits himself.

i just had to share. i was proud of myself. of who i am sometimes, and this was one of those times.

 

[katt]

well, another quick update before bed. . .

. . . sorry no pics again today! i hope tomorrow! i was gone all day today doing my running around, tomorrow (besides going to do laundry) i am staying home to clean/organize the house, so lots of pics then!

anyway, problem is solved with chaucer, i gave him an old pair of jeans and a shirt of mine to cuddle into at night so he doesn't feel so alone. and so far it is going better.

things are working out with pandora, we just have to get her closer to me. i can't wait to have her here. another bunny will be great, and a big girl at that!

okay, time for bed, more tomorrow!

 

[katt]

okay, i got pics as promised!

not to many as it seems to be taking FOREVER for my computer to upload them to photobucket! ug.

anyway, i am currently laying with the heathing pad, i got really into cleaning today, and moved the extra couch out of my room, and chaucer's cage into my room, and yeah, i hurt, but he is super happy being back in my room!

and funny i now have winnie dead bunny flopped by his cage, she has been doing it since i moved him back in here. . . i am taking this as a good sign.

^okay, first here is a photo of the new setup. now think about this: chaucer was in the same size cage as winnie's (it is our backup cage) winnie's cage is small cause she only uses it as a litterbox and for her food and water. . . look at the size difference between what he was in and what he is in now!

^he likes his water up high. . . i personally don't get it, but whatever lol

^"hi mom!"

^"pet me, please"

^"i LOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEE you"

and the best of the night. . . this is how happy he is and how he likes to dead bunny flop, i couldn't help but laugh at him, my roommate said he looks hung over lol

and here are 2 i got of winnie before she thumped and mad dashed away

 

[funnybunnymummy]

I am in love with Chaucer! It's probably a good thing you live all the way out in Michigan or I'd come steal him! :biggrin2:
