Haven't updated in almost a month! Everybun is doing great. No health problems or anything. 2012 was a very healthy year, wasn't it? Neddie had an upset tummy right at the end of 2011- we were at the vet on December 31st if I recall- but he was just fine the next day. Kerensa, Max, and Mabel all got fixed in January, and Kerensa had an upset tummy several months ago and went to the vet, but she was fine within hours. She didn't really need the vet visit, but I was concerned since she'd never had any issues before. Rory had a little bit of an intestinal slow down during his shed in July, but it was quite minor over all. Other than these issues, we had a very healthy 2012! Hooray! The only sad part was the death of our beloved Nomi in March
She was here for a little less than 3 months, but it felt like much longer and we got so attached to her. She was supposed to be a foster bun, but I think Paul and I both knew she wasn't going anywhere. All bunnies are special of course, but some bunnies are just REALLY special, and she was one of them. We also adopted our darling Podgie in 2012 and he is very loved
So far 2013 has been very calm, too! No health issues at all, everyone is happy and wonderful. Our big excitement is that we welcomed a foster bun a couple of weeks ago! The adorable Howard! Howard has been mentioned intermittently throughout this blog. He was adopted by our next door neighbor shortly after she moved in and met my bunnies. She loved my rabbits so much that she adopted Howard from her coworker. Funny thing is that a friend of mine told me about Howard back in July of 2011 because he belonged to her friend (coworker of our neighbor) and she wanted to know if we would take him! Anyway, so Howard lived next door for a year. His owner brought him over sometimes and he liked to play in our yard. He and his owner moved away back in August. I was completely surprised to find sweet Howard on Petfinder earlier this month and Paul and I basically agreed to take him in as a foster bun without a second thought. He is about 4 years old and has had at least 4 homes (not counting ours) in that time. We felt like we owed it to him, poor little man! Both of us are already very fond of Howard, he is just about the cutest bunny ever born and I pick him up for snuggles several times each day. It will be REALLY HARD to part with him, guys! In fact, I haven't even put up an ad on Craigslist or made a thread for him here on the forum... guess I should get around to that, shouldn't I? :innocent
Little Howard is definitely the cherry on top of our bunny sundae, aka our last bun bun. We agreed Podge would be our last, but Howard was a VERY special exception since we had already promised him that we would take him in if his owner didn't want him anymore! In fact, based on our neighbor's awful track record with pets (hint: our kitty Declan was hers before, too, and she had a husky for a couple of months when she lived here...) we actually assumed he would end up at our house sooner or later. Just hoped it wouldn't have to involve a stay at the shelter before he came here!
