The Adventures of Mr. Cookie!

[ZRabbits]

I just can't over how much Mr. Cookie looks like my Dobby. And has the same sweet disposition. Dobby is becoming such a sweet bunny who just loves hanging out with my husband.

Love the video and the pics. Thanks so much for sharing!

I agree K, they do look so much alike! cookie seems a little bigger to me though, maybe? How much does dobby weigh? Cookie is about 5lbs now... He looks so much better now then when we got him, weight wise

So today my husband went out to do some shopping and saw this pet store that we hadn't seen before and so we went in...

IT.WAS.HORRIFIC. there were tons of bunnies and they were dirty and one was VERY skinny and looked sick... They also sold birds, all of who looked sick... As well as other rodents and HUGE snakes... they had an enclosure with a ginormous snake right next to one with baby bunnies... Every time the snake moved the poor babies would shake and shiver and huddle together shaking :tears2: my hubby is a very logical person and doesn't really ever do anything irrationally... But he was so disturbed he looked at me with tears and said " How much do u think they are? I'd love to get them all out of here NOW!" I agreed with him but had to think logically that if we purchased anything from these jokers all we would be doing is supporting them and making it possible for them to bring MORE bunnies into the situation... It was so incredibely heartbreaking, I left it tears... We both did... :tears2: :sad:
So after that we decided to go and spoil Cookie a little more than usual!
Got him some new toys and a new tunnel, as he started chewing on the other one, and since it was plastic we got rid of it ASAP!

So here is his new and improved house... Notice the wooden "C" hahaha I was so excited when I found it in micheals lol so cute! We love him so!
:inlove:

Mr. C is just adorable. I love his new cage setup...and I totally love the idea of the wood C for him.

I would call the local animal groups in your area and see if there's anything that can be done about that pet store. Bad pet stores are the worst...it's worth a call to say "hey, go check this out..." and send animal control over on their *****.

I called... Not that they will do anything... I called about this place before and the humane society called them and told them they were coming! So ofcourse they cleaned up, however unfortunately here in wv its becoming more and more clear to me that most people in authority see animals as nothing more that property... It's so sad...

Thank you! I am so happy they all get along so well

My Dobby weighs in around 3 lbs. So he is a bit smaller than your Mr. Cookie.

Quick Update : Cookie is getting neutered on thursday, march 29th. :shhhh:

We had been on the fence for a while about whether we should or not... But the more time goes by, the more we keep thinking we would love to eventually get him a bun wife (well a real one lol) so he must be fixed...

Maybe this summer we will start looking for a little lady

I am a nervous wreck! Already! Lol I'm taking the day of his surgery and the day after off so i can be with him... They also said I could come and sit with him while he's waking up too! Love my vet

 

[mrbunny]

That's great of your vet to allow you to accompany Cookie after the surgery. Good luck with the neuter!

Really glad to hear you're getting a bunwife for Cookie. His dashing good lucks demand it.

 

[ZRabbits]

I know you are worried about the upcoming neutering, but everyone goes through that. Mr. Cookie will be fine. Good for you and Vet for allowing you to be there after the surgery.

And a future wifey (real one) sounds like a blast! Good for Mr. Cookie and you.

Will be thinking of both you on that day.

[BunMommaD]

Thank you guys! Even tho I'm very nervous... I'm very excited for it to all be over...

Here are some pics of cookie with the baby I keep this morning... I swear it's so werid that he loves her so much lol I totally though he would be afraid of her,,, but nope!

Shes 10 months

Mr. Cookie is such a darling! What an experience for this little girl to have.

Truly amazing how well he takes to her. I would have never thought a bunny would tolerate or even enjoy the affection of a child this young.

Good for your Mr. Cookie.

Neither would I! But she "pats" him pretty roughly and when she stops he circles her and nudges and licks for more! Hahaha it's the craziest thing...

Just cuz I love is cute little feet and tail

Laying with his stuffed wifey

So it's been pretty warm around here all of the sudden! I feel like we completely skipped winter here in the panhandle and now it seems we are skipping spring and heading right into summer! When I got home from work it was 78 degrees in the house! Lol cookie was fine as before I headed out this morning I gave him his 2liter frozen bottle lol but it's way to hot for me... So for the first time EVER! We had to put the ac on IN MARCH! What! I fear this summer will.be.brutally.HOT.

In cookie news, in exactly 2 weeks he will no longer be intact and hopefully by this time 2weeks from, we will be home... I'm nervous for him... As I am any time any of my animals have to be put under anestisia but I am also excited to have it done... I feel like he will be much happier! He is an awesome guy, and thankfully we don't have any spraying or aggression issues at all... He so sweet and awesome! But he is so intense with things! Like when he gets his mind set on something it almost becomes obsessive! Which can't be fun for him to feel so stressed! So hopefully the neuter will just chill him out a bit and not "change" him as my hubby is worried it will... He sort of feels likewe are "taking his manhood" away LOL

I also order a big batch of goodies for Mr. C today including a cottontail cottage! Oh my I can't wait to get it!

 

[BunMommaD]

So I am beginning to think that the estimated age we got when we adopted Cookie was WAY off! I mean... This kid is growing like a weed! I went back and looked at some pics I too the day we got him compared to now! Wow! And it's not just his weight, it's his feet and ears oh wow his ears are getting huge! Lol I'm really anxious to find out what he weighs now in 2weeks when we go... The vet is gonna think we got a different bunny! Lol

 

[ZRabbits]

I did the same estimate with Willard. I think he's way younger than what I thought when we first got him. It's tough once they hit that 4 month mark or year mark to really know how old they are. Even Vets have difficulty.

Look forward to hearing what the Vet has to day about your Cookie. He's such a sweetie.

Well in cleaning out cookies cage today, I discovered that he had ripped up the inside of his little house... It was a "cat house" type thing that was carpeted and he could get on top of and inside... Well he had ripped it up so much that there were STAPELS! In there! I guess they used them to keep the carpet down... OMG! I was freaking out! I guess now we have to watch that he doesn't act sick to make sure he has t eaten any... UGH... He also had been peeing on top of it... YUCK! Now all he has is his tunnel, until we figure out something else for him... Maybe I'll look for a box to ut in there with some holes cut...

Crazy bun, worrying me to death! Oiy! :foreheadsmack:

 

[BunMommaD]

We spent alot of time today cleaning and organizing and hanging picture pictures that I have had sitting around for a while lol and we were able to "recycle" some of the boxes the pics were in for Mr. Cookie

Here is his new play area!
