The Bunhalla Bunnies 2010

[Dragonrain]

Thanks!!

Today is the one year anniversary of the day we brought Kit home to live with us. Around this time last year, we where getting ready to go pick him up.

It's hard to believe he's been living with us for a year already. And yet, we can't imagine our lives without him.

 

[Dragonrain]

I realized that since it's been a year since we got our pup, it's also been a whole year since I've gotten any new pets. Kind of strange for me, since it seems like for awhile I was averaging at least one new pet a year. There are so many others I'd love to get, but I realize that right now probably isn't the best time. Plus, I want to space my pets out in ages more. I want to wait until my current one's get a bit older before I get more, that way I hopefully won't have to face eventually loosing them all around the same time.

I've been thinking a lot about how I want to decorate the bed room. I finally started painting the headboard, and hopefully when we get our tax return money we'll be able to get a bed.

There's so much other stuff I want to get for the bedroom too, but I have to space it out and get it all slowly. My birthday is next week and I know I should get at least a little bit of birthday money, so I'm trying to figure out how I want to spend it. I know I should probably just put it all towards paying off some bills, but that's no fun! It's frustrating though because I probably won't get much, and there is so much I'd like to be able to buy.

I hate taxes!

And it doesn't help that I haven't been sleeping more than a few hours a night all week thanks to Berry.

The bunnies are doing well. They have been more active lately - I think the spring weather is effecting them. I know it's effecting me. It's not that warm yet, it's been in the 40's all week, but warm enough for me that I've been keeping windows open for a few hours a day. This weekend it's suppose to be in the 50's!

I think my betta fish, Courage, is dying. I don't know. He's really been slowing down these last past couple of months and last night he didn't want to eat. He just sits at the bottom of the tank and barely moves. I wish there was something I could do for him - I hope he's not too uncomfortable. I honestly just think maybe it's just his age, he doesn't seem sick or anything like that at least.

The rest of the pets are doing well though.

I'm glad it's friday

Taxes - EEEK, I have to do those too.

My buns have been more active too. I think the like the days getting longer. They are getting rowdy lol

How old is Courage? I had a Betta that lived to be about 2... it's sad when they start to get old

 

[Myia09]

I owe federal $1. Thats right. lol.

My betta is dying too, but he is only about a year old in my possesion, but he was a typical dying betta at a petco, he gained weight with my really well, but now he is skinny again and lost about 1/2 his fins.

 

[Dragonrain]

Oh I didn't think of that, I bet they do like that the days are getting longer! They've been so much more playful lately, it's cute

I've only had Courage for a year and a half, but my Dad had him for a few months before he gave him to me so I'd say he's been with us for probably around 2 years, then since my Dad got him at Walmart he was probably already a year or so old when he got him.

Up until yesterday he was still eating at least, but last night he just completely ignored his food. So I dunno.

 

[Myia09]

Didn't you hear? That earthquake actually made time slower by like a milisecond or something like that. lol.

 

[Dragonrain]

I actually just heard that like 5 minutes ago on some show my fiance was watching - crazy.

Courage ate again today. He's still pretty lethargic but I was glad he ate.

I cleaned the bunny room todays. It wasn't so bad today, but I need to buy new litter this weekend. I ran out and had to use newspaper, and the bunnies are already having a blast pulling it out of the box and ripping it up.

 

[Dragonrain]

:X:X:X:X:X

Grr, I love my bunnies (of course) but they are really driving me up a wall. ALL night last night they where up, digging, throwing toys, ripping paper, god only knows what else.

Normally I would say this is my own fault, and something I should have been prepared for when I took in 3 animals who are known to be most active at hours when people are normally asleep.

Except for I've had Barnaby for over 2 years, and Ziggy and Berry for over a year, and they don't do this every night normally. Sure they will wake me up the odd few times early in the morning or whatever, but lately they have been loud ALL night. They very rarely do this, but they've been going strong for about a week so far and lucky me, I am just about the lightest sleeper ever.

 

[kirbyultra]

:hug:hope you get a good night's sleep tonight!

 

[Dragonrain]

Thanks

Last night was a bit better. I still got woken up a few times but at least I got some sleep.

Chris' mom and sister came over today. I made them cheese fondue and crumb cake - yum! They just hung out for awhile and we watched a movie.

Chris' sister is way into psychic stuff - like reading energies and numerology and crystal therapy and all that type of stuff. She goes to a psychic at least a few times a month. Usually I just kind of dismiss a lot of that stuff, although I do think it's kind of interesting.

Anyways the reason I mentioned it is because she always visits all the pets when she comes over. I went into the bunny room with her and she told me that Berry had negative energy. I thought it was funny she said that because of how annoying Berry has been lately. But I don't really think it's negative energy, rather that she just seems to have a lot of pent up/excess energy.

Today after I cleaned the litter boxes I was cooking and Barnaby was out in the room. I went to check on him at one point and he was doing the best binkies I've ever seen from him. I have to be sneaky if I want to see him binky because as soon as he notices that I'm watching he stops.

 

[Dragonrain]

I think it's funny that about 80% of the time when I'm typing, I'm trying not to move my arm too much so I don't disturb the sleeping dog who usually has his head resting on my arm. :biggrin2:

Last night I got the most sleep I've gotten all week. But when I went in the bunny room this morning there was newspaper torn up all over the floor. So I'm not sure if the bunnies (Berry mostly) are being quieter or if I was just so tired last night that I slept through the noise.

I'm annoyed because I ordered hay from Sweet meadows like a week ago and still haven't gotten it. In the mean time, I have to keep running to the store to buy those stupid tiny bags of hay while I'm waiting for the delivery. One of those bags lasts me like a day. Oh well, the hay is scheduled to get here tomorrow. Last time I ordered they got the shipment out to me the next day, so I was kind of hoping that would be the case this time too. Oh well. The bunnies will be happy tomorrow when the hay gets here and I'll be happy that I won't have to keep buying those stupid crappy expensive bags.

I need to find a new way to give the bunnies hay. I've been just putting in in the litter box lately, and some of it gets wasted because they pee on it. They go through so much hay at it is, then with what's wasted, I'm buying hay in bulk like once a month and shipping is getting expensive. I want to look into hay hoppers or holders or whatever they're called, but all the one's I've tried in the past have just leaked hay all over the floor and made an even bigger mess than normal. Hmmm.

 

[Fancy77]

YES u got good sleep whoo hoo!!!

As far as hay I saw a thread here that uses NIC Panels over the litter box. I use that and it is fabulous, and not too much is wasted

 

[Dragonrain]

Oh I'll have to try that! I have a ton of NIC panels, unfortuantly they are all stored at my parent's house in MA right now (and I'm in NJ). But my Dad is suppose to visit sometime this month so I'll have him bring them over for me.

Today is my birthday!! :biggrin2::bunnydance::bunnydance:

I think that means that it's perfectly acceptable for me to eat ice cream for breakfast :shock:

Last night I went out and got litter for the bunnies, but I've just been getting Yesterday's News at the grocery store and they where out yesterday. So I picked up a small bag of Feline Pine (Kiln dried pine pellets and safe for bunnies!). I'll have to see if I like it and maybe switch, since it was cheaper than Yesterday's News anyways.

The bunners woke me up at 6 again this morning, but they where playing with a basket in their room. I'm glad they where having fun at least.

The Sweet Meadow hay is suppose to get here sometime today. Hopefully sooner rather than later because after I get the box I want to take the dog to the park for a couple of hours. It's so nice out today!

:birthday

 

[tonyshuman]

Happy Birthday! I would definitely eat ice cream for breakfast!!

 

[Dragonrain]

Thanks for the birthday wishes!!

 

[Myia09]

Happy Birthday!!!!

 

[Cabrissi]

Happy birthday!!! And I do believe it's not only acceptable to eat icecream for breakfast on your birthday, it's obligatory! LOL Yum!

 

[Dragonrain]

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

I had a pretty good day. Once Chris got home from work we ordered pizza for dinner and he made me a really good cake. I got a few gifts - Studio Ghibli DVD's for my collection and the new Final fantasy game, and another teddy bear.

This morning I took Kit to the park for a few hours - it's the first day we've been back to the park since we got all that snow. It was fun and really nice to get outside for some fresh air and exercise. I'm sure Kit agrees! We're suppose to get 3 or 4 straight days of rain coming up, so I'm glad I got out today.

The bunnies are doing well. Their Sweet meadow Farm hay finally got here yesterday so no more crappy tiny bags of hay. Berry is starting to calm down at night and only woke me up once last night.

I planted a bunch of flower seeds yesterday, so hopefully we'll have some nice flower plants here this year. I have to remember to look them up to make sure they're pet safe though, or else keep them up high where Kit can't get to them. He's taken a taste of a few of my plants before.
