The Bunhalla Bunnies 2011

[Boz]

I love your bunnies!! I while back I had a broken blue holland lop and she was a spunky little thing! She was super friendly but such a stinker! Sounds a lot like yours.

Yeah the weather has been weird lately. So cold and windy last night and today.

Yeah I still order from SMF most of the time and 10 lbs does not last me long at all, but I didn't want to get more than 10 lbs with this order since I got the pellets. I don't really like getting the huge boxes or multiple boxes in one delivery because the stairs to get to our apartment really suck. They are narrow and twisty and it's no fun to have to carry bulky boxes up them.

Haha does anyone know the game Plants Vs. Zombies? I don't know if this will make sense if you don't know the game BUT I've been playing that game on playstation lately.

In the game you use different plants to protect against zombies. Different plants do different things like some shoot stuff out at the zombies, etc.

So last night I couldn't sleep well. Chris kept almost pushing me off the bed, Kit kept stepping on me, and the bunnies were being loud. Plus I couldn't get comfortable because my back was hurting all day yesterday.

You know when you kind of half sleep? Like your asleep, but at the same time part of your brain is awake because you can think still? Okay so I had that going on...which sucks because whenever that happens to me I "wake up" feeling like I didn't sleep at all.

But I was having a funny dream that was like Plants vs. Zombies only instead of Zombies I had to protect against Chris, Kit, and the three bunnies - who where all on a mission to annoy me! But because I was only half sleeping, I was consciously choosing what types of attack plants I wanted to use against them. It was funny because like...I had to use special plants against the bunnies because they just kept eating all the plants lol.

I dunno maybe that's a stupid story but I thought it was really funny. Maybe you had to have been there

Don't forget that today is Spay Day 2011!! If anyone needs to get their pets spayed or neutered this is a great month to look into getting it done because a lot of vets, in honor of Spay Day, will offer discounts. A lot of local organizations around here are doing low cost spay/neuters and some are even offering the surgeries for free for a select number of people. But if it's too last minute to get it done this month, that's okay because a lot of organizations have low cost programs that last all year round! I personally used a Friends of Animals certificate when I got Kit neutered...without the certificate it would have costed me like $500 (yikes!) but with the certificate I got a serious discount. If you live in my area...the NJ House rabbit society has a low cost spay/neuter program for rabbits now!

Sounds like you have fun dreams I'm not familiar with the game, but I like your dream version better without zombies. I hope you get to feeling better. This weather being hot then cold then snow etc. is hard on the body.

 

[JadeIcing]

LOL I play the game on my phone and bought it for my laptop.

 

[Nela]

LOL! Awesome :biggrin2:I love those kinds of dreams where you can control certain things. Hehehe. With my sleep apnea, I have them a lot and you can get some pretty odd dreams out of those :shock:Lol. It doesn't help that you add to the oddness by controling certain things. Hehehe. I do hope you get much better rest soon and that your back stops hurting!

 

[Dragonrain]

Thanks! Unfortunately I think I'm coming down with a cold or something now...grr.

Plants Vs. Zombies is a good game! I have it on the computer and on Playstation now too.

I think I mentioned that Berry is molting? Yesterday I had her out on the bed so I could brush her. She was being so snuggly with me and Kit. She was all snuggled up against me and pancaked and every time I tried to move away from her she got upset with me. When I moved away she kept grapping my shirt and pulling on it like she was saying "Hey get back here!". She's such a sweetie.

Me and Berry and that's Kit's ear on the right side. Kit was snuggling with us too <3 I was in my glory lol. Excuse my hair looking gross lol, I tried a new kind of hair product and used too much at the top and I think it makes my hair look dirty, icks.

My order from Sweet Meadows Farms got here about an hour ago and the hay this time looks awesome. It smells soo good too. I wish I had ordered more than 10 lbs. I'm going to make another order and hope it's the same stuff again.

 

[Dragonrain]

Haha we now have a "bunny alarm".

Bought another alarm clock to use specifically to go off at bunny feeding time. Because I was being a bad slave and kept forgetting to feed them their dinner until hours after their normal feeding time.

Kit is sick today I think he might have eaten something that didn't agree with him, I dunno. But all I have to say is that I'm VERY glad I'm home with him to take him outside right away when he needs to go out.

 

[JadeIcing]

Poor Kit. Give him a kiss from Kashi.

 

[MiniLopHop]

Awwww, bunny kisses for Kit. :hugsquish:

 

[Dragonrain]

Thanks! Kit's tummy is feeling better today but he's pretty miserable right now. Usually in the morning Kit and I walk Chris to the train station so he can go to work. Today it's raining though and Kit HATES the rain.

So we took him out like usual and because it was raining he didn't want to walk. So we waited for him to go to the bathroom and then I turned around to take him back home, but Kit just could not make up his mind if he wanted to go home and get dry or walk with Chris. So instead of doing either, he stood in the middle of the side walk and refused to walk any direction at all...staring after Chris as Chris walked off to work but refusing to follow and refusing to turn around and walk home. Finally I got so sick of standing out in the rain doing nothing that I just picked him up and carried him home.

Now apparently he is regretting his decision and misses Chris...because he's sitting on the living room floor crying because Chris is gone. Ahh...he's all wet and sad and a sad cute little dog is seriously just about the saddest sight on earth!

To counter Kit's saddness, the bunnies are in amazing moods today. They where up playing since 4 in the morning and I could hear them running around and throwing their bell toys around. When I went in their room in the morning Berry saw me and started doing binkies. Aw I love my BerryMel so much! She's the only rabbit I've ever had who actually gets so happy to see me that she does binkies. And she does it pretty regularly too.

Chris and I got our tax refunds deposited into our account this morning so that's awesome. I can finally completely pay off our CareCredit Card that we've been making payments on for like a year now and pay off a bit on another card we have too. Yay! We are having a pizza party tonight to celebrate.

 

[Myia09]

Gosh how to you afford to order from them? I need to find a new hay source but they want $57 for only 18lbs!

Sorry kit isn't well! Poor baby.

Aww your bunnies sound so cute in the morning! Mine are so lazy...lol!

I have a care credit card as well..it is hard paying it off. I can so far only afford the minimum! Ugh~

 

[MiniLopHop]

Goodness, I feel bad for people that pay a lot for hay. I get a 60 pound bale for $5 from a farmer. It is wonderful hay too that the girls dive into.

Glad to hear Kit is healthier, if not entirely happy today Rabbits are so frequently happy over the smallest things that I think it teaches us all to be greatful for the smaller things in life we tend to take for granted. Like being dry on a rainy day.

Credit cards are evil :/

 

[JadeIcing]

Silly doggy.

 

[Dragonrain]

KitKat is doing much better now. I cheered him up with a new chewy and a game of fetch (in the house...mwa ha!).

Gosh how to you afford to order from them? I need to find a new hay source but they want $57 for only 18lbs!

From Sweet Meadow Farms? Shipping included it's the cheapest place to order from that I've found so far! My bunnies like the hay too. I live right outside of NYC in a bordering city in NJ so as you can probably guess we don't really have any farms that are close by where I can get hay for really cheap. The pet stores around here only sell hay in tiny little bags that are way over priced and wouldn't even last my bunnies a day. So yeah...I spend a lot on hay but it's what's cheapest for me right now.

With the Care Credit I was in the same boat, we where just paying the minimum for a really long time. But I'm going to pay the remaining balance off completely with some of our tax returns because I don't want to end up paying a tooon in interest over time.

I have kind of a lot of credit card dept as well as other dept from my college loans. It sucks but I wouldn't say that credit cards suck. Without credit cards I don't know how I would have afforded to spend the thousands of dollars we spent on Berry getting her well again after her stroke. I'm STILL paying off card balances (including the Care Credit card) on cards that I maxed out because of Berry! I get frustrated with all the bills sometimes but when I look at Berry I know that at least the bills caused because of her are well worth it.

I think I'm finally starting to get a good handle on all the bills where we can hopefully have a few of the cards completely paid off in the near future.:biggrin2:

 

[JadeIcing]

Credit cards... Ringo... Yea know the feeling. They are worth it.

 

[Dragonrain]

VERY worth it! I would have probably spent way more than I did (and I spent a lot!) on Berry without a second thought. That the outcome of the whole situation with her was positive was a huge plus - maybe I would have felt slightly differently about the whole thing if I had spent that much money and then lost her. But I know in my heart that I would have really regretted it if I didn't at least give her a fighting chance. I didn't want to have to wonder about the "what if's". And seeing her today, I am SO happy that I gave her that chance, even though I am still working on paying for it today!

 

[JadeIcing]

Ditto

 

[Dragonrain]

Ack I just blew through so much money paying bills! I don't think I've ever spent that much money in one day before...but I guess it's okay because it was all on bills.

Our CareCredit card is officially completely paid off now!
arty:
I'm so happy that we'll have one less bill each month now. :biggrin2:

I was talking to Chris earlier about what we want to do with the rest of our tax refund money. Long story short, we decided that since Chris is going to be using a good portion of it on himself, he's going to spend a little bit of it to buy me a cage for ...Mwa ha! For new pet(s) that I've been waiting a very long time for. I'm still not planning on getting them anytime too soon, but getting the cage will be my first big step towards being able to eventually get them.

Look at my Kitsune, he has such a 'tude!

He's no dumb pup, he know exactly what pillows are for! (Note his hair cut!)

 

[JadeIcing]

Which new pet????????
