The Bunhalla Bunnies 2011

[myheart]

Such nice photo updates...

I usually do the same thing as you are doing with Ziggy now. "Do I see a lump or not?" sort of thing. I agree that sometimes it seems like it must be the angle you look at them to determine if you are seeing things correctly. Either way with Ziggyand his lop-sided moosh, I'ld still smooch on his cute little bunny lips. Such a little cutie!

Do you want me to take Berry for you for a little while? You poor thing, I think you need a break...

Awe... that last pic with Barnaby. Many snuggles for that little fuzzy-guy!!!

So what kind of plunder did Pirate Kit find?!!! :shock:

 

[Dragonrain]

Brandy why do you need B12? You don't have to answer if you don't want too I'm just curious.

Yeah they sting a bit and I do bruise from them too. I give myself the shots now though. My doctor just writes me a prescription for the B and the needles and all that and I do it at home, that way I don't have to keep going back and forth to the doctors office. It makes it a little bit less annoying.

My pets seem to always have a naughty streak lol. I think I'm drawn to the trouble makers - I like their mischievous personalities.

Having Kit forces me to have to go outside everyday lol, numerous times a day. Usually I really don't want too but once I get outside the fresh air is nice. In the winter it's kind of annoying though because you have to go through all the trouble of putting on winter coats and gloves, hats, scarves...all that just to take Kit out for 5 minutes so he can go to the bathroom. In the summer all I have to do is slip on a pair of flip flops.

Janet I'm so bad with that! I can never make up my mind if he looks better, the same, or worse. I'm constantly looking at him trying to make up my mind and I swear it does just depend on the angle half the time.

I think Berry wants to stay here and drive me crazy! Plus her brothers would miss her too much.

Kit didn't find anything in the snow lol. I don't know if he was actually looking for something or just having fun digging. If he did smell something, it must have been down further in the snow because he never actually found anything. Silly pup.

Chelle, I don't mind. I tend to share more than people want to hear, hence my blog LOL I was having neurological issues- couldn't ballance, weird tingling, weird twitching. They did all kinds of tests but all they found was extremely low B12. I know I have to get my appointment scheduled when I get sluggish, too emotional, and start to twitch. It averages about once a month. Luckily my doctor is close so I can stop by there on my way to work and I'm still on time.

It's more fun when the pets are naughty, it keeps things interesting. Andre (cat) knows he is not allowed to jump at the bird cages. He's mad because Rebecca (rabbit) is in her cage from her spay. He decides that since he can't play with his bunny he's going to torture the birds! I had to toss him out of my office yesterday while I was working because he would not behave himself.

Perhaps if I lived somewhere warmer a dog could be an option. The flip flops aren't bad, it's the snow *shivers* Sounds like Kit was just having fun digging. Perhaps the snow was the plunder? I love the pirate coat, it's so cute but in a manly way. (wouldn't want kit to be offended by calling him cute )

 

[Dragonrain]

Oh that sounds like what happens to me. Did they find out the reason you have low B12? I have an autoimmune disorder where my own immune system destroys the cells that produce the enzyme that processes B12, so I'll have to get the injections for the rest of my life.

Naughty pets are more fun for sure! Sounds like you have your hands full with your crew too...but you're right, they keep things interesting.

Yeah taking Kit out in the winter is torture sometimes. But he's worth it, he's my little buddy. I don't think I could ever be without a dog now even though they can be a lot of work sometimes. They're so much fun. I bet the snow was the plunder, he loves the snow. Haha I always tell Kit how manly he is. I secretly think he's way to cute to be a boy though lol. People who don't know him always think he's a girl, I think because of his long fur. So I have to counter people calling him a she all the time by reminding him how manly he is

 

[Dragonrain]

Ugh Ziggy bit me yesterday! That little.....

I was holding him on my lap giving him his meds, and he started digging and pulling at my PJ pants....next thing I know he bit me in the knee. I think he was trying to chew on my pants and did it by accident though?

Now I have this huge bruise on my knee. That was the first time in a looooong time that I've been bitten by a rabbit. The last time was way back when Zeus was still alive.

 

[JadeIcing]

Ouch

 

[MiniLopHop]

ouch, sorry about the knee. At least it was an accident. Sometimes they just get so excited they can't control themselves. Perhaps because women tend to have longer hair people think long haired animals are girls? I had a long haired cat that was male. Everyone tried calling him a girl too. I think he was personally offended by it.

My B12 issues are also autoimmune. I also have thyroid problems because my body attacks my thyroid as well. My personal theory is that I was over baked as a baby. If premature babies have an under active immune system it makes sense that a WAY over due baby would have an over active immune system. I have no real ideas though.

 

[kirbyultra]

Oh man, he must've bitten you in a special spot where there is just not a lot to "bite into"!

I was at a press conference last week promoting rabbit care education and adoption in preparation for the Chinese Lunar New Year parade in NYC. It's because the upcoming year is the Year of the Rabbit... so while we are on stage and getting pics taken, I have this lil rabbit in my arms who's been handled for 2 hours at this point already. It's the last 10 min stretch and he is just not having it. He starts to scratch my neck and my shoulder and he starts to nip (hard) at my arm, near the armpit! I'm sitting there just trying to smile and act like nothing is wrong. The last thing that needs to happen is me yelping and screaming about the multiple bruised nip marks on my arm and red scratches on my neck from a rabbit DURING a rabbit adoption promo press conference. Sheesh! The bun was a real sport though the couple hours leading up to this. And except for me and one rabbit person next to me, nobody even noticed the tiny bunny was starting to get very agitated with me. I think because he was so small, no one noticed he was biting. Thank goodness...

 

[JadeIcing]

LOL at the same time it could have been see this is one thing to consider getting a rabbit.

 

[Dragonrain]

Yeah he bit me on my knee...it hurt pretty bad lol. It took everything I had to not fling him off my lap when he did it haha. Evil bunnies and their giant teeth.

Oh man there's no way any of my bunnies would ever be happy about having to tolerate being handled for 2 hours. Even Berry, who is a complete sweet heart, I'm sure would be pretty upset. Poor bunny, I can understand why he was getting upset.

I hope all your bites and scratches heal up soon! My whole knee is still all bruised up, I hope I can go another few years before I get another bite lol.

 

[kirbyultra]

Yeah I gotta say the buns behaved well for what it was that day. I didn't hold it against him.

I definitely get sad/shocked when it's my own buns who bite me. I take a bit of offense to it depending on the situation. One of my buns usually gimme nips once every several weeks. Kirby gives me little love nips. My heart flutters when he does that. It's the closest thing I will get to a kiss from him lol

 

[Dragonrain]

Aww bunny love nips!
:inlove:
Zeus use to do that too. I think I can count on one hand the number of times he licked me, but he use to give me his little love nips almost every day.

Berry does it sometimes now too. This is something new as she never did it before her stroke, but does now. If there was one good thing to come out of her stroke it was that her and I are a lot closer now.

I've been working on my blog lately...not my RO blog but my actual blog. It's where I post all my pet articles and just post about my pets and life in general. If anyone's interested...

Paw Print

But I still have a lot of work to do. Chris was supposed to make me a bunch of animal graphics and a nice logo/banner for it but he hasn't yet. All the graphics in the layout I did myself, which is quite an accomplishment for me! I think I'm going to pay a friend to work on my banner for me.

Chris and I kind of got in a fight. Our fights are weird though...we don't scream or yell at each other we kind of just argue a bit and then don't talk to each other for awhile lol.

 

[JadeIcing]

Bookmarked it. Neat read so far.

 

[Dragonrain]

Thanks! :biggrin2:

 

[kirbyultra]

Aw, fights are awful. My hubby and I don't usually fight either and we do a similar thing where we don't talk and it fizzles out eventually. It's not usually the kind of fight that needs a resolution though. Just stupid stuff.

Kirby is the same way -- He's licked me about twice in the whole time we've known each other. He's love-nipped me a few more times than that. But he doesn't do it regularly. Penny licks me all the time but she only bites me when she accidentally thinks my hand is food. Toby has truly bitten me before. Broken skin and everything. Bruise bites have happened. I've been bitten a lot more by shelter buns. I would have to say that love nips are the best kind of bite Especially because when Kirby does it, I get a little tongue action. :biggrin:

 

[Dragonrain]

Oh no....once a week I've been writing short little blurbs about adoptable rabbits from one of the shelters here in NJ. I post my articles on Examiner.com in hopes that I can get some of the adoptable rabbits more exposure. Today I wrote about the Chinese New Year and how it could be bad for rabbits etc (the articles are also posted on the blog that I linked to the other day).

When I was writing my article I was looking through the site of the rescue I post for to get a picture of a bunny for my article, thinking it was a way to sneak in another adoption endorsement for one of the rabbits there. But then I came across Sky and I waaaaant her!

I've always wanted a blue eyed white bunny. She's small, and they describe her as "a mushy lovebug"

But they mentioned that she'd probably enjoy being an only rabbit which of course I couldn't do. Annnnd I told myself awhile back that I wasn't going to get anymore rabbits for awhile. Plus plans are in the works for a small new addition (not a rabbit) probably before the end of this year and then next year, 2012, Chris wants to get on a waiting list to get what will be our second dog. No more rabbits for awhile!

Happy year of the rabbit!!

 

[MiniLopHop]

LOL and that is why I am no longer "allowed" on petfinder.com. I fall in love too fast and want to save them all!

 

[myheart]

Oh, so then I shouldn't post a pic of one of my foster-boys, Oliver?A most delightful little guy with beautiful white fur and stunning blue eyes. But, then again, you could look at him on PetFinder... OOoOooo.... bonded pair of BEW's!!! :biggrin:Wouldn't that be lovely?!!

 

[Dragonrain]

Ah Janet no no no!! Little blue eyed white rabbits just pull on my heartstrings. I want a BEW, tiny little rabbit SO bad! I've always kind of had a thing for white animals, and I love blue or odd colored eyes too.

I've always loved them, but never really had the opportunity to adopt one. Before I got Barnaby I was looking at buying a BEW Netherlands dwarf from a breeder but I chose Barnaby because I liked the idea of rescuing him more than buying from a breeder.

Wisconsin huh...You know I got my dog from Wisconsin. Haha I've done it before...better not post any pictures of Oliver! Although maybe I could convince myself that I don't NEED him because I really don't need another boy bunny in the house. If I where to adopt, I think it would be best for me to go with a girl.

Happy friday! :biggrin:

I'm up early because when I got up to use the bathroom Kit took one look at me, and then threw up all over the bedroom floor. Then ran into his crate and threw up some more. Lol like how he did it when I woke up? Poor boy, I have a feeling he was holding it until I woke up. He's weird like that...he wants me to be awake so I can comfort him and then clean up after him right away. Apparently sometime while I was sleeping he went into the bunny room and feasted on their hay. I think, in honor of the year of the rabbit, that he was pretending to be a bunny.

Two nights this week, including last night, I've had nightmares that Barnaby died! So scary...having another one of my rabbits die young would be so horrible. So of course I've been giving Barnaby extra love lately.

 

[JadeIcing]

Had dreams like that. Never fun. Also woken up to the puking dog not fun.
