Hope you don't mind if I post a pic of my girl, Calli. I adopted her last October, and no one on the forum really knows about her since I haven't started a new blog to introduce her. Just thought you might want to see her since she is a Siamese Satin also. She was from a pet store, according to her original owner, but I think she was too small for a breeder to keep in their program.

Calli is about 2 1/2 years old and weighs about six pounds.

Now, anyone who wants to see my Calli will have to visit your blog. ;)It will be interesting to compare notes on our Satins. I have had Dutchies for such a while that some of Calli's naughty-bunny things just make me wonder about her and the breed.

myheart
 
calli is adorable! post all the pics you want of her!

i am really shocked that more people don't own satins. so far i have found chaucer to be very smart (he seems to understand commands) and super devoted to me (he sleeps with a pair of my jeans and and old shirt).

chaucer likes to visit the public. he loves car rides (just sits right up front in the seat and chills out), he is doing great with litter habbits, and is completely fear free. i can hold him with one hand above my head and he just sits there like it is no big deal. he loves water, and likes to sit in bed with me and watch movies.

now, he does do some bad stuff, like chew the carpet, but like said he really does listen to commands. i don't even have to say 'no' with force and he backs right off.

he is super active. that is the big change for me. winnie and toulouse are mini lops. they don't get up and move unless it is closer to the food lol. chaucer is everywere when he is out, into everything.

i wonder if calli is a mini satin? 6 pounds is very small for a satin, but you never know.

did her color start off that dark when you got her? or is is getting darker the older she gets? i love the color chaucer has now, and am wishing that he doesn't get any darker! i know you haven't had her that long, but maybe you have noticed a change!

anyway, what is calli like?
 
Aw! I am in love with Satin rabbits! Their fur is just so beautiful! It looks, well, just like satin! :D

I think Gus and Chaucer are quite similar. Similar build. Same active, outgoingpersonality. And super smart.Gus understands a lot of words like, "come," "no," "up," "banana," etc. And of course, his name. ;)Plus he's an obsessivecarpet/rug chewer. :grumpy: The only real difference is Gus doesn't have that beautiful satiny fur and he can be aloof and skittish at times (but I think that has to do with his rough past. :()

i think that a lot of chaucer being so easy going might have to do with he was raised before i got him with kids, then afterwards (once i got him) he learned lots of trust with me. like i said, he is completely 100% devoted to me. to the point that if i am cleaning his cage out and my roommate takes him onto the sofa and sits with him while i am doing it, he worries over ever noise while i am gone. he will just sit there watching my door till i walk back thru it. and when he sees me again he instantly relaxes, physically sighs, and cuddles real close.

when i wake up in the morning the instant he sees me open my eyes he starts to binkie and chews on the bars till i talk to him.

if jess is holding him and standing next to me, he will try to jump out of her arms and into mine. even if i am a foot away from them.


i don't know if that is just how the breed is, or if my rabbit is just weird lol. anyways


so i really think bonding is going to work guys. this is how chaucer and winnie fell asleep tonight

100_4085.jpg


just had to share those before i go to bed. it warmed my heart to look over and see them cuddle thru the bars. maybe i will try a bonding date after work tomorrow. we will see.



 
some lovely pics - those satins are stunning:)

good luck with bonding - that last pic of winnie and chaucer cuddling thru the bars must be very encouraging:)

Calli is small for a Satin, but I think she is too big to be close to mini-satins. I think Satin girls go about eight to ten pounds, so Calli's six pounds aren't up to Satin standards, but way big toofor a four pound mini. Her colors might be kind of off also, so that might be another reason for the breeder to get her out of their stock. Compared to your Chaucer, Calli is very dark and/or mismarked with her mask and body tones. More reasons for a breeder to get rid of her...

I don't know if her colors changed, as she was already an adult when I adopted her. I guess you will have to wait to see what Chaucer does. I hope he stays the lighter colors on his back/sidesalso. He is one handsome little man!!:D

The only way to describe Calli is that she is naughty. I never thought she would be so naughty as toto jump up on other cages to get to hay and pellets. She is such a food-hound. I only attribute her naughtiness to the fact that Naturestee helped pick her out. For some reason, the rabbits she has/picks-out are naughty. So far I have a two for two record of this with Calli and Zappa. Good thing Patrick is such a good hus-bun and is able to tolerate their silliness.

Anyhow, I'll stop taking over your blog. I can't wait to hear more about Chaucer. He sounds like such a good bunny-boy!! It would be nice if he could give Calli some lessons on being good. ;)

hey everyone! haven't been on RO in a long time. I am having some computer issues so untill it all gets fixed I can only get on when I am at my parents house.

the buns are all very good, pandora will be comming home soon. can't wait.

and the great fun of my world is that we are currently out of all plumbing in our house. fun huh? my landlord hasn't gotten anyone out to fix it yet and it has been 3 days. not fun at all. he has 2 more days to fix it, then i am going to demand my lease gets broken. going without a toilet or shower for that long is not cool in any way.

but anyway, no pics and no real stories, i have been working a lot and dealing with the apartment.

so over and out. I will talk to ya'll when I can!
 
Oh man, three days with no plumbing would suck so bad! I can't even imagine. I would definitely be asking for some sort of compensation (like free month's rent) for the inconvenience of having to deal with it for so long. I also think it is reasonable to request to break your lease if it doesn't get fixed soon, in fact I would be tempted to be breaking it now (lol, I'm impatient...).

Good luck with your plumbing problems, and computer issues!

-Dawn
 
well just a quick update is that the plumbing is fixed as of today and my computer is back to good.

bad news is that i am MAJORLY sick. to the point of having virtigo when i walk around (having sinus issues).

so i am going to the dr. tomorrow. had to work thru it today, it was funny causei was walking around the kitchen holding onto things, even my co-worker for the night, john. he had to save me from falling over more then once.

anyway, i am going to crash, better update tomorrow if i am feeling better!
 
well, just back from the Dr. I have a major sinus infection going on. that totally explains all the vertigo and such. she did a quick manipulation on my back which helped with the general stiffness i was feeling and put me on some massive antibiotics for the next 2 weeks.

for a funny bunny story:

Chaucer has been sleeping in Jessica's room the past few nights because of me being sick (my ears have been very sensitive to noise and he isn't the most quiet thing in the world). this morning she woke up and came into my room. apparently Chaucer has claimed Jessica by taking one of her tank tops and pulling it into his cage. she found him cuddled between my shirt that he has and her tank top. and he refuses to give either up. if you take one away he starts to thump and runs around all upset till you put it back in the cage. ug. the rabbit i own!
 
Glad to hear you made it to the doctor in time. Sinus infections are nothing to put off. I heard of a lady who had a sinus infection andthe infectionwent into her brain. Sad to say she died from it. Not to scare you, or anything, but I am relieved you have meds for it now.

Chaucer sounds like quite the character. I think I am falling in love with him. How would he feel about a long-distance romance, or at least a cuddle and nose-rub?

myheart
 
well this sinus infection has been off and on for 3 weeks now. kept on feeling sick, then feeling better, then sick. . . then better.

this time is the worst though. i also think it got so back cause i have been uber stressed out at work lately, a lot of stuff has been going on and i have been working a lot of hours.

winnie loves it all though, i am stuck at home and in bed. perfect for her, she only leaves my side to go potty or get a drink.

and poor chaucer just wants to come back into my room, but my ears are still very sensitive to noise, so we will see tomorrow. every time i walk into my roommates room and he sees me he starts doing mad binkies around the cage.

my dad dropped of my antibiotics to me just a while ago, so now i just have to make myself eat something when i take them. . . not to easy when you have no appetite at all.

and i am all excited cause tomorrow is payday and i am going to order my nikon d3000 camera kit!!!! can't wait to take good pics again!!!
 
We should switch antibiotics... I'm on some for an infected finger, and I have to take them four times a day on an empty stomach. I've never had an antibiotic that required an empty stomach before and I'm finding it difficult to work it around my meals and I find myself pushing meals around so that I'm hungry for longer so I can take the antibiotics. I would love to have one that I could take with food.

I hope you start feeling better soon.

-Dawn
 
i have never heard of having to have an empty tummy for an antibiotic before dawn. that is odd.

my problem is that i can't take most meds without food because i have a past history of sever nerve damage in my stomach. they prefer to play it safe with meds, especially antibiotics.

so i have to take them 2 times a day and make sure i eat with them, and make sure i eat at least a serving of yogurt every day/or take a probiotic.

i opted for the yogurt as i can eat it with the meds and kill 2 birds with one stone.

2 weeks of this is grueling. i am a terrible eater. i only eat when i am hungry and have problems getting myself to eat 3 meals a day (heck, 2 meals a day is hard for me sometimes). my system doesn't handle food well at all and there are many days i find myself having nothing more then a couple protein shakes. it totally doesn't explain why i am still so fat, but yeah, that is how my daily food intake goes. i really do love food, i love to cook and eat and everything, but i just can't do it most of the time.

at least this is better then last summer, when i was throwing up everything i ate or drank including water. nerve damage is not fun at all people. let me tell you that. lol

okay, well it looks likes i am going to update my blog. . . after writing way to much about my stomach habits to everyone!

so i am still sick. . . let me tell you this has been majorly not fun at all. i am able now to at least SIT without getting vertigo. although standing does still give me a few problems. i got out of the house today for a while which felt great, but after about 2 hours of running around all i wanted to do was go home and sleep. i look like death, my house is a mess, and i got nothing done on my 2 days off other then sleep for 14 hours at a time. i have to work a 10 hour day tomorrow (the first of 4 in a row) and i hope that i can make it through. i really don't have the sick time to call in, but will if i have to. this kinda sucks lol. i really hope that these antibiotics give this infection a final kick and i am healthy again. gotta start working out again and get back onto my 30 day make-over.

so the bunnies are good. i bought chaucer some fleece today. it is navy blue with dinos all over it. i thought it fit him perfectly. . . although i almost bought him this print that had rainbows and unicorns all over it. . . funny that would have fit him also. i am going to the extreme of sleeping with it for a few nights and then attempting to switch out the jeans and t-shirt of mine that he currently has in the cage to the fleece blanket (at this point i can barely touch the pants and shirt without him freaking out though. . . so this should be interesting).

and winnie is currently laying sprawled on my side. her favorite spot. . . and of course with the heating pad. sadly i have been sleeping way to much the past few days to actually have seen any good bunny stories from either of them, but i hope to get some photos soon.

and talking about photos. . . eeekkk!! i just ordered my Nikon D3000!!!!!! it should be here in about 2 weeks. i got this huge kit that comes with the camera and lens, and bag, and tripod, and memory card, and extra battery, and a mess of other stuff. i cannot wait!

oh i do have one photo that i never posted of me and chaucer. . . i was trying to be mad at him for chewing the carpet, but i guess it didn't work as it is impossible to stay mad at the little bugger

2_29_08094.jpg


and now that i am previewing this post (to make sure that the photo worked and was the correct one) i am remembering why i didn't post it before, because i look back in the photo. blah. oh well, guess i will post it anyway.

100_1263.jpg


and one more photo. . . of me. . . just a) prove that i don't have a double-chin (like it looks like i do in the first photo posted) and b) gives me something fun to post in my blog since i never take photos of my rabbits anymore (won't have the excuse of a bad point and shoot camera much longer. . . then ya'll will be telling me to stop posting so many dang photos!)

ok, off to ramble around RO some more untill my nightquill kicks in.
 
so some photos for ya'll!

more chaucer. . . i just moved his cage back into my room and he started to binkie the minute i set him down! it was so cute!

Aww, Chaucer's adorable! But how's Winnie feeling about Chaucer getting all the attention, lol?
Hope you feel better soon!
 
lol winnie isn't much for photos, and i tend to let her be if she wants. sometimes she lets me, but most of the time she is hidden away someplace in the apartment.

i am starting to think that chaucer knows just how adorable he is.

and he was moved back into his cage but is STILL looking for his jeans of mine that he cuddles with at night. will admit that i am a terrible owner and may have tossed them when cleaning his cage, but there were getting rather nasty and i bought him his fleece blanket instead.

so he has decided to ignore the blanket i got him, and cuddle with my shirt and my roommate's cami that he claimed

all the while winnie is dead bunny flopped in the center of my bed on the heating pad, all cozy in my blankets. . . ready for bed. now were am i going to sleep? lol

oh the rabbits i own
 
okay. be warned. this is going to be a lot of photos! and i have 2 (yup, count them 2!) videos to share if/when they upload!
