I pm'd this to Julie, but then I thought I'd post it in my blog too. I volunteer at the local shelter and this is how the day went.
Just got back from the shelter! It was a sad day though, because I found out one of the bunnies died yesterday. Jinx, the sweet blue mini rex who loved to lick everybody, had a seizure in his cage. He died in the arms of one of the caretakers, one who was totally in love with him. So at least he wasn't alone.
I was also ticked off because the vet said the bunny with malocclusion didn't need any surgery or anything. Gah! Here's a picture of little Beansprout. You can't see her teeth, but you can see that her mouth is open a little because of the teeth.
This is the adorable little hotot boy who is on police hold. Don't let the face fool you, he's very sweet! I think he was annoyed because I wasn't petting him. And yes, he does have a bit of an eye infection but they said it's being treated.
Baxter, the tri-colored large boy. He's very friendly and easy to handle, but I'm reluctant to take him out. The last time I did, his "stuff" was hanging out when I picked him up and it was very disturbing.:?
And this is Buck, soon to be my favorite once Marley gets adopted. He is slightly more shy than Baxter when in the cage. He's used to being picked up, but likes to do the trick where he kicks out of your hands once you start lifting him up. Loki used to do that too and it's not terribly hard to train a bun out of that. Buck snuggled on my lap for a while, then went exploring. Then he came back and turned into a bunny fur rug while I petted him and he snuggled with me. People kept walking into and out of the room on their breaks and he didn't care. Very laid back, snuggly boy.
Bunny rug!
On my lap
I also played with Princess- another dwarf hotot but with black ears- and Midnight, a silver martin-colored uppy-eared lop mix. I almost always take Midnight out since she has some cage aggression issues and didn't seem to be socialized at all. She's making great progress though, especially since I found her weakness... back massages!
