The Three Musketeers

[whitelop]

I watched the video on my tv, Houdini is such a rascal! Ellie can get on top of her cage too.

I thought i would share with you how much i love British tv. Like the teen shows. I love their slang and vulgarity. Haha. British tv is much better than American tv, with the humor and the vulgarity. Hahahaha.

 

[JBun]

Lol, you can just see his little brain trying to work out how to get out there with Snowy

Morgan, I miss British tv as I don´t have it over here so miss all the comedy, sense of humour is so different and if it´s on late, they can get away with swearing and innuendo. I find the spanish sense of humour a bit obvious and some of the things they say are so politically incorrect you couldn´t get away with it anymore in the UK. I do like some of the american comedy shows but not all, some are a bit obvious as well and I hate canned laughter.

Jenny, yes, he´s a smart little bun and I just knew he´d do it in the end, I´m surprised he lasted so long without trying.

Well, we´re having a mini summer at the moment and it´s so difficult to know what to wear each morning as it starts out quite chilly but is boiling hot by midday. This morning, I decided to wear a three quarter sleeve jumper with a short sleeved t-shirt underneath. I hoped I´d be warm enough as it´s been hot the last few days and I went out later than usual.

By lunchtime, I stopped at my usual bar to have a beer and read for a while and I ended up having to take off my jumper and even with the short sleeved t-shirt, I only last about 40 minutes, it was tooooo hot. I shouldn´t complain but I´m sure if I´d have gone down to the beach, there would have been people sunbathing and even swimming. I have clients out this week who are absolutely delighted as they´ve come from France and the UK with snow and freezing temperatures. I must admit the blue skies do make you feel better.

Thought I´d make you all jealous.

I also took a photo of Houdini yesterday night. He´s been looking under the TV unit and scratching the floor for a few days and I´ve looked but can´t see anything. Yesterday he was disappearing under there and it´s quite low so I was hoping he didn´t get stuck. I took this photo as he was lying on his side and I thought it was so funny seeing his little legs, tail and everything else. I still have no idea what could be so attracting him to that spot :?

 

[whitelop]

The weather looks so pretty there and your beer looks so good! hahaha.

Look at Houdini's little feets and tail! What a cute little fanny he has!

 

[Chrisdoc]

Morgan, that´s what I thought too, he got such lovely colouring on his bottom and it was just so funny but I still cant figure out what´s so interesting under there lol.

Yes, the beer was lovely but you just can´t imagine the heat, it just doesn´t feel like the end of January over here.

 

[Chrisdoc]

I was just downloading a few more photos I took and I just love this cute Lamb Chop face.....this is his favourite spot, inside his cage waiting for food lol.

 

[agnesthelion]

Chris.....no fair (stomping feet like a 2 yr old) I want to sit outside in Spain with a book and a beer too!!! yup. Totally jealous here.

On a random note, I can't get myself to switch to an e-reader. I'm too old school, I guess, in the sense that I love the feel of a book in my hand, the smell of the pages, I love the tangible factor of seeing how many pages ive read, things like that. I also keep most of my books. I reread them so often. And I love looming at them on my bookshelf. Anyway, no real point here, haha, other than I think I need to get with the times maybe. Especially how much i read but I can't get myself to give up "the book".

Omg, I'm in love with that puffy white face! I have a soft spot for the furry buns. Reminds me of the exact opposite of Agnes since he's white. What a handsome boy, waiting so patiently for food

Love the feet picture too. I love it when they stick out their back feet like that!

 

[Chrisdoc]

Lisa, I was thinking about you when I was having my beer and enjoying my book. I was also so against the ebook when it appeared and vowed I´d never use one. Look at me now lol. My friend bought me one last summer and I now love it as I can take it everywhere in my handbag. I just love enjoying the good weather having a beer or a coffee and just spending a bit of time relaxing. I have so many books on there now, I´ll never get through them all but it´s nice having a choice. I still have loads of books from when I got rid of my shelves in the living room after I got the boys as they were ground level. I have them all in boxes now and will eventually get something organised to put them all back out. I have a real wide selection of my favourites, cook books, spanish literature, dictionaires and just things I wouldn´t want to part with. You can actually see on the Kindle how far through the book you are.

I do love my little furball with his lamb chop face, Morgan and me think he looks like the puppet that Shari Lewis used to have hence the name. He´s just such a softy and now lets me groom him without putting up a fight. He does lose a heck of a lot of fur, I´ll soon be knitting my sweater lol.

Have just had Houdini and Snowy out together this afternoon and they haven´t done too bad. They sat in the area with a bit of space in the middle and slept for while and they smelled each other without any problems. However, after about 2 hours, they had a little spat but no biting or fur flying so I separated them and one went back in the enclosure. I´m actually quite pleased with the way it went as it´s the first time they´ve been together in about three weeks. I´ll probably do this over the next few days and hope it goes well. I´ll keep you all posted.

 

[agnesthelion]

Glad for the positive encounter between Houdini and Snowy. I sure hope things start to progress back to a positive friendship for those two. I think its amazing you have 3 males that even get along as well as they do anyway so you are obviously doing SOMEthing right

 

[Chrisdoc]

Thanks Lisa, I was so happy that it went so well. The good thing today is that they were out for quite a while together and sort of stayed close but ignored each other so that was much better than before. They eventually had a jump face off but no biting which is a big improvement as before it was teeth in each other´s rump and no letting go, luckily there was no blood.

So, I´ll have another little session together tomorrow with me supervising again and hope that we have another positive result. I´ll keep you posted.

 

[whitelop]

I'm glad they did so well while they were out today. That has to make you feel a bit better.

 

[Chrisdoc]

Yes Morgan, I am so glad that it ended with no serious fighting and quite a while where they all seemed quite happy together again. I will still be taking it quite slowly as I don´t want to go backwards but I´m hoping that they will be able to sort out things out for good this time and we can get back to being one happy family.

 

[agnesthelion]

Ignoring each other is a GREAT sign. For humans, we consider ignoring bad....but in rabbit lingo...very promising
The only advice I can offer is to keep sessions short and end positive because like you said another fight can send you backwards. It's hard to stop a date when things are going good because it's human nature to keep going when things are good, but all in all I think stopping on a positive note helps more overall. At least it did for me anyway...

 

[Chrisdoc]

Lisa, I´m taking loads of pointers from you so want to make sure that they remain in the same frame of mind as today with no bad encounters. It was funny as they were sitting about two feet apart with their backs to each other and bunny meatloafing. I had to laugh cos at one point Houdini was sitting on the rug in front of the window and Snowy was at the other side of the container with their litter in and he peeked over the top of it. I took this photo just before so you can see the set up. He just peeked over that box with the green top just to have a look what was going on...it did make me laugh.

 

[agnesthelion]

Oh on another note Chris I keep meaning to ask you, or anyone else for that matter, have you seen the show Downton Abbey? I know you said you don't get to see much British TV there but it's a british show that is now taking America by storm! I haven't seen a single episode but I have girlfriend after girlfriend telling me to watch it. My curiosity is peaked now, I want to try and rent the first seasons and start watching. Everyone tells me it's so good.

 

[agnesthelion]

Oh wow that is so cute and so impressive! I didn't know all 3 were out!!! I think that is a huge deal that they are out together I think with baby steps they will all be back together again.

 

[Chrisdoc]

Yes Lisa, they were all out together. They´ve been really good through the cage sniffing and not being at all agressive so that´s why I decided to try them today. They were like that for a couple of hours, close but not sitting together but ignoring each other. I will be doing it again tomorrow if I have time.

Downton Abbey....you just have to watch it. I was really lucky as I saw some of series three on UK TV and some downloaded. I was lucky enough to see the Christmas special which was on in the Uk on Christmas Day when I was looking after my fríend´s dog so I´m up to date.....I remember my friend in the UK emailed me straight after saying.....OMG did you see it ???
I just love it and you really do have to see it right from the beginning. I´m not going to give anything away. The acting is superb and there is some real british humour in the one liners from Maggie Smith, she is awesome.

 

[agnesthelion]

Okay it's settled, I'm finding the Downton Abbey shows somehow. I think season 3 is on our public broadcast channel now but if I'm gonna watch a show I have to watch from the beginning. I haven't talked to one person who has seen the show who doesn't love it!!! I have to see it!
