Misty

 

[Sabine]

Lovely name. Welcome Misty

 

[irishbunny]

Thanks, here is her introduction topic, she hasn't had a great life

 

[irishbunny]

Misty's first blog yay! For those of you who haven't heard who Misty is yet she is my new black otter netherland dwarf rabbit who I got out of a bad situation, which you can read about here. I also have a topic from when I was trying to find a name for her.

Misty has a new life now and I don't want to dwell on her past too much, but on her future and how she is settling in. The beautiful Misty saw grass for the first time on Sunday, she didn't really know what to make of it and got sick of it after a few minutes, hopefully she will start to enjoy being a ''rabbit'' more when she get's used to not being in a cage the whole time. I've been letting her out around the top of Thumper's cage and around the shed to let her get used to stretching her legs.

I am happy with how she is settling in, as soon as I got her setup she started nibbling hay and eating food and has been peeing and pooping which is all a good sign that she isn't too scared. She's quite a nosey little girl too and likes see and know what's going on around her, she's very alert. She doesn't seem to be missing home at all, but I suppose what is there to miss about a tiny cage you never get out of with a buck pulling all your fur out.

She doesn't seem to be the most affectionate of buns and doesn't like to be petted and picked up too much, maybe it's just because she is unsure of her new surroundings or it's just the way she is, I had a nethie cross before that was tiny who also didn't like to be held or petted too much, maybe it's just the way she is. She can let me know herself what she likes and doesn't like and I'll work and care for her the way she prefers it

I do think that we have a teeny little madam on our hands, I got a nice growl off her when I tried to take her out of her cage on Sunday, she hasn't growled at me since but I don't think her true colours are showing yet She doesn't seem to be as cage territorial as Princess (yet) and hasn't tried to bit me, usually when I put my hand into Princess' cage I risk taking my hand back out minus a finger!

It's now day 3 and she seems well on her way to being settled in, she has started eating my other buns favourite food, sunflower seeds and has let me pet her a little bit more and I managed to pick her up without any hassle when I was putting her in her cage, she hopped out herself to explore which is a good sign she is feeling safe enough to leave her cage.

Hopefully she will enjoy her new life here as much as I enjoy having her here and she will continue to become more confident and start to enjoy doing more rabbity things, I hope to soon see some binkys! Which in her last living situation I doubt she had many of, if any, and I hope she starts to get healthier and her fur grows back in!

I'll be updating on Misty, aswell as my other buns regularly!

Me too! I'm not exactly sure, I must ask my friend at school, I was with my friend, her previous owner, all day at school and not once did she bring up Misty throughout the whole day, didn't ask how she was getting on or anything. I don't know how she can't care about her she's so precious. I feel sorry for the other 6 rabbits I left behind, 4 of which are Misty look-a-likes . I remember Misty when she was born, I think that was around 5 months ago. My friend won't remember when she was born.

That's really sad. I am surprised they didn't find homes earlier since Nethies are usually quite sought after

Icky, I'm off from school today, I have a horrible cold and my voice is gone, all I can do is whisper. I hate being all stuffed up!

 

[irishlops]

aleast you can post!!! lol
ps.. if princess puts her ears down.. she looks like my two! colours and all. (apart from gender thanks to eyore..)

 

[irishbunny]

Well I'm back after not having the internet for a long time lol! Well all the bunnies are fine but the last time I was on here Misty was missing loads of fur and was thin and had never had grass before. Now Misty is binkying around the run and eating grass, acting the way a rabbit should be aloud to act. She's gained weight, her fur has grown back, her coat and eyes are looking healthier and she's become a very pretty girly!

After

 

[Numbat]

[irishbunny]

Thanks, by looking at the pictures I can see a huge improvement in her!

[irishbunny]

Bumping this up so more people can see the improvment in Misty Plus just to say that I'm planning on taking some pics of the bunnies this weekend since I haven't posted any lately!

Nana, I wish you didn't have to go but I know now at least you aren't suffering anymore, you told us how bored you were sitting in that hospital bed and we could see you were frustrated that you couldn't even do the simplest things, but if there really is a heaven I hope you have found grandad now, I know how much you missed him and you were never really the same after he was gone, but I miss you so much it hurts and I feel like I can't breath. I'm so sorry I was awkard with you when I saw you last Saturday, you just weren't the same, but I hope you know that I love you. I will miss visiting you every weekend, and I'll miss your cheery smile when you open the door and see it's us. I always felt so good when you said my baking was lovely and I'll miss baking you buns and cake, you were always so happy when I did that.

I miss those childhood days, when we used to stay at your house with you and grandad, and we used to come into your room early in the morning and grandad would make us all breakfast in bed, I remember we used to ask grandad for waffles and he used to tease and say 'You want wopples?'. I miss those days so much and wish so much that I could rewind time, just for awhile and be back there again. I hope that you know that we all miss you and love you and tryed our best to make you as happy and comfortable as possible, the doctor said that your quality of life wouldn't have been good anyway and I know that would have made you miserable.

We are going to have your wake tonight Nana, I know you always liked when family was all together talking and having fun, we'll try our best for you Nana and there will be plenty of tears and laughter in your honour and I'm sure you'll be happy to be home again for awhile, I know in the hospital all you wanted to do was go home. I'm happy you passed away with no pain and I'm sure you are too, remember I loved you so much and you were a big part of my life, if you have met grandad tell him I miss him!

Love you and miss you always,
Grace xxx
