Oh and she has a message for Daisy...she says she's one-upped her cause she found something GOOD in the trash to take with her....now she's challenging Daisy to do something better than this. (Watch out Dave!)

ROTFLMHO! She's a sneaky one, I tell you! And, please rely the following to our Miss Nyx: Daisy does NOT need anyone giving her ideas...or trying to one-up her! She gets into ENOUGH trouble on her own!!

Watch out Dave!! :scared::nerves1

EDITED TO ADD: Look at the Baby in the 2nd picture...she's looking at Auntie Nyx with adoring eyes..."My HERO...!" (That, or he/she reaaallly wants the banana peel. "I can haz bite?" I haven't decided which yet!)

 

[TinysMom]

Karen - at first the baby was admiring "Auntie Nyx" - THEN it smelled the banana and yes - it was trying to periscope up to see if it could grab it from Auntie or at least make her share.

She of course couldn't figure out how to both jump out of the cage and hold onto her banana peel safely at the same time.

It was hilarious.

 

[wabbitmom12]

LOL, I thought I could see the wheels turning in her head, especially in the 2nd photo.

All I can say is, she is growing up to be so gorgeous!:inlove: And that dewlap is AWESOME!! Looking just like her Mama and Papa. I can't wait to see some beautiful kits in a week or so!!!:waiting:I wonder which colors she will have, and how many?

 

[TinysMom]

Karen,

I am suspecting she will have light grey babies as I think that is dominant over black...BUT...it is possible for her to have black (I think) - just not likely.

She is so ... different right now. Its like she's becoming a bit more needy of attention - a bit more sensitive about being told "no"...as in its almost as if she wants to sit and cry (versus getting upset).

Tomorrow is day 28...so she'll get a nestbox (as will Sophia). I held her tonight and tried to feel her tummy to see if I could feel babies. Honestly - she is so big I can't feel babies ...but her tummy does feel big and extended a bit. She was so patient with me.

And I just can't keep my secret anymore. I was going to - and I know someone is going to want to shoot me..but I as nervous as can be and so I'm going to ask for prayers.

You see - part one of the secret was that after deciding we finally had enough money to send for the girls...I had to send Ali the money to buy kennels.

We also had to work on when the girls would be flying here - and at that time - we didn't have an exact date - which is why I told Rebecca I didn't know when they were flying here (I didn't - we'd just made the decision it would be sometime soon depending upon how long it took to coordinate getting the carriers, etc).

Part two was Alicia getting the carriers with the money I sent.

Part three happened yesterday when I FINALLY called the airline to arrange the girls' flights - they're coming directly into Del Rio.

Part four is sorta a two-parter...I had to send the money to Rob & Alicia to pay for the flight on their end...which I did tonight...plus they have to deliver the girls to the airport....which they will be dong.

And part five is when I pick up the girls at the airport here in Del Rio - in a little over 24 hours.

I'm a total basket case and nervous wreck. You have to remember...they already told Arlene that they had loving feelings towards Ali....what if they don't like me?

Then again - I have a secret weapon Ali doesn't have....FLEMISH BUCKS!

Anyway...if you're in Cleveland or Houston - stay AWAY from my girls at the airports tomorrow...cause supposedly at 10:57 PM CST...they're arriving at our airport.

And I'm counting down the minutes....well..hours right now...

Please be praying for their safety. I'm really scared about flying them (even though we've flown other rabbits before) - partly because instead of sharing a carrier - they are in their own individual carriers.

Take a deep breath! I am keeping the girls in my prayers, and I am praying for a safe flight..

Good luck and we all cannot wait to see pictures when they get there.

 

[pOker]

By the way--the girls are going to love you Besides the flemish bucks, I am sure you will spoil them.

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

Yah. I'm exicted to for you Peg. I'm sure they will love you.
I bet Ali is going to miss them.

I really did try....I have been trying so hard.

It was going to be a big surprise...I was going to wait and post photos AFTER they got here..

But...I am just so excited...so joyful about all this.

I know Ali won't keep my girls...for too long.

(IF nothing else - they'd eat her out of house and home..).

You are no fun.

 

[irishbunny]

Eeep! I can't wait till you finally have the girls home!

 

[pOker]

Well today is yesterdays tomorrow and I am way too anxious..I want to see the girls..but I guess its going to be quite awhile :/

 

[TinysMom]

Well - we're off to such a great start..not.

One girl has mushy poos....both girls were crying at being separated from each other - and Harmony is now pitching a fit at being put in the carrier (she ripped her food bowl off the door).

Oh...and I'm a nervous wreck!

 

[TinysMom]

I just talked to Ali again - she'll hopefully come into the thread and share more later.

Harmony (LG108) is ANGRY and pitching a fit at being in the carrier - even though she's been in carriers before. She has been shaking the carrier and even broke her food bowl off the door by trying to throw it or something.

We were joking about how if Arlene were to talk to them - she should wait until AFTER the trip since she is bound to get an earful...and the language probably would NOT be good.

I thought Nyx was my diva...sounds like I'll have two divas.

I can hardly wait!

 

[TinysMom]

They're here and they are even more gorgeous than I thought they would be. All I can say is "WOW".

They've eaten some food and/or hay cube and been running around the rabbitry and flicking me off. I almost saw a partial binky but she decided to turn it into a flick-mom-off move instead.

Both girls will stay in one cage tonight - I almost separated them because Calypso is mounting Harmony - but then she cried when Harmony moved away. Calypso is quite expressive with her vocalizations already.

Pictures will come - I promise.

Oh - before I forget - they almost didn't make it on the plane in Houston. Not sure what happened - chatted with the pilot while waiting - turns out they had to shut off an engine and while the engine was shut off - they brought the rabbits out and put them on.

Guess that is it for now -I'm wiped out.

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

I'm so happy your new additons arived home safely.

 

[mistyjr]

PICTURES!!!

 

[TinysMom]

I will probably do pictures tomorrow - but the girls have been here less than half an hour and I don't want to push things too much.

I just dropped Juan a note to let him know that they made it here. Right now Calypso has "carrier butt" from her butt being pushed against the back of the cage so much...so I want to let her groom herself (its like the fur is pushed the wrong way).

Harmony keeps staring at me as if she's trying to figure me out. Calypso is a bit more like "Whatever" - she was the first one to eat and to flick me off. She's also the more dominant one it looks like.

But when I try to separate them - Calypso cries and tucks her head under Harmony.

Harmony has been enjoying the alfalfa cubes and just sort of watching me while she sits.

I have got to say - that asking Juan to pick out what he felt was best for my herd (based upon Mercury) was an AWESOME decision. As Juan says, he doesn't sell "junk" and I will be VERY proud to put these girls on the show tables. I look at these girls' feet and they're massive - and of course I need to add some bone and density to my lines.

I am so happy. Having these girls is like extending my dream of breeding flemish. I can't explain it - getting my first rabbits was like the dream coming true - getting Nyx and seeing what she had to add to my lines just gave me hope - and now these girls...wow.

I'm sitting here in tears. It feels like its coming together.

And that...is a very very good feeling.

Well, Karen, kept the secret Peg. Having trouble with the internet connection, I haven't been able to keep up with the posts.

I am glad they arrived safely, they are probably still upset about flying coach. Only thing left to do is spoil them.
