Tina, the harness went on firstand thenthe baby vest. It was one of the first shirts I got forhim. There should be a pic of it somewhere aroundhere.

RaspberrySwirl, he was miffed at me until late last night over going outside. Wouldn't even let me rub his nose.

Carolyn, he can be such a sweetie and thank you for your compliment. My nose is glad about the scent glands.

 

[dajeti2]

Oh ok. Wow he really held a grudge huh?

Tina

 

[Jenniblu]

Yeah, he's weird like that.:?

 

[dajeti2]

Bless your heart. He really lays it ondoesn't he. That would kill me I hate it when Wollo's mad at me. Istart handing out toys and treats and pets and kisses til he forgivesme. :shock:I just reread what I wrote. Maybe he's just caving so I'llleave him alone.:? Vash will forgive you you're his Mommy.

Okay, okay lol, I will have to rustle up somemore pictures of my sweet baby.How about a story in the timebeing? It contains a valuable lesson in it too.

I got really concerned with Vashmolting thathemight get GI stasis so I gave him 1/2 can of canned pumpkin as apreventative. Never....and I do mean never give yourrabbit a lot of canned pumpkin! Poor thing was in thelitter box half the night pooping! He had 2 days worth ofpoop in one day. Well, at least I am sure he does not have ablockage forming.

I got sixchicks! Went toSouthern States yesterday intending to only get 3-4 chicks.Well, they had a special were you get a free bag of chick starter withpurchase of 5 chicks.

How did I end up with 6 you ask? There was this one runtychick I noticed after I picked out the other5. Itwas homely looking and was gettng trampled by the otherchicks. The runty one has turned out to be the bossiest oneof them all LOL!

Picture day today--

 

[dajeti2]

Oh Jenni, they are absolutely precious.You are s mush like me lol. I saved to rough and tumble runty ones.Mystery and the one awesome marked one. Mystery is grateful and throther is'nt too sure she cars for me lol. I hope you and Vash got somesleep last night.

What does Vash think of them? I am going to try and let Apollo out and a few of the chicks to see what he thinks.

Congratulations!! I am so happy for you. What did you name them?

Tina

 

[Jenniblu]

LOL I felt so sorry for all of themcrammed in those holders climbing on each other forspace.I showed them to Vash last night and hewasn't too impressed. My brother wants ME to name themwhen I know he really wants to name them.

The smallest is by far the boldest and is so funny. WheneverI give them fresh water, she hops in the middle of the dish to drinkand pecks at anybody that tries to drink until she is done! Iguess she will be the leader. The darkest coloredonelikes to climb into my hand and fall asleepthere. She is really quiet and rarely chirps atall.

I didn't get any sleep last night -- kept going in and checking on themlike every hour until 4am. They are hopping aroundandplaying today.

Mine look so small compared toother day old chicks.Even the biggest one I have is runty. I hope they grow bigand strong.

My brother, after days and days of teasing meabout getting the chicks as pets and naming and spoiling them has namedone "Nicky." One of the chicks isveryfriendly and likes to be held. He washoling her and was just amazed at how calm she was. Then hesaid that sinceshe was "different and special"shehad to have a name. He even started talking to her saying,"You wanna come home with me Nicky?You won't haveto lay eggs or catch bugs for a living. You can just sitaround and chill."

So now I have 5 livestock chicks and a pet chick"Nicky"that I can never get rid of. He is such asofty.

Okay, took the chicks out for the first time Wednesdaymorning. I sat the wire part of an old guinea pig cage on theground and put them in it. First, they just stoodin a little group and chirped. Finally, they started torelax, explore, and flap about and one even took a dust bath.I almost freaked outbecause after the dust bath it justlaythere with it's wings out -- I thought itwasdead!

Anyway, here is a pic of "Nicky"looking at the camera.

 

[dajeti2]

Wow maybe that basket made them look smaller, Nicky looksreally big.:shock:They lay there after a dust bath?I have a few that flop at bedtime and the first few times it happened Ithought they died. These little ones scare me as bad as Apollo doeslol.

Apollo wasn't impressed either. Give your brother a hug just for making me laugh so much lol.

The day Vash and my brother bonded after the infamous T-shirt pics:

He is a little nervous looking in the picture because Vash decided toplay tug-o-war with his dress shirt and trousers. He reallylikes my brother and always wants to lay on his lap or play with him.

Vash being a good bunny:

Vash being a bad bunny:

( He decided to tear this up right after I fed the chicks)

 

[Jenniblu]

The chicks will be 2 weeks old tomorrow, so theywere moved into a gigantic new brooderwere they can run andstretch their wings. They are so cute when walk and thenstretch out a wing and foot on the same side. They are inthat gangly, uglystage. They didn't like the flashat all either.

In the new brooder. Nicky is in the middle of the chick circle--

Vash is such a handsome boy -- I'm in love. CanI borrow him for a while???

I love that people are scared of him. LOL I can'twait until Sampson is big enough to scare people, although last nighthe decided to chase one of the cats. That cat moved fasterthen I've seen him move in a long time. LOL

I was wondering, what size harness do you have? I'm wantingto get one for Sampson, and I can't decide what size I need.Did Vash have one when he was a little guy (ok, maybe not so little,Sampson already weighs7 lbs at 9 wks)?

I'm not exactly sure about the harness size - itwas a hand-me-down from when my GSD was a pup, but I took somemeasurements for you.

The straps are a 5/8" wide. The neck and chest part areadjustable on it. The neck is adjusted out to 15" and thechest part is 16". The strap connecting both parts is about 33/4" long.

I usually carry a small seamstress tape measure in my purse to getsizes of things right instead of relying on what the tags recommend.

HTH (Hope This Helps)
