Keely asked who that gorgeous hunk of burnin love was!!! Wow.,...Vash gets more beautiful every day!

 

[Jenniblu]

LOL - Vash says thanks. He thinks Keely is simply beautiful herself. *Hiding car keys fromVash*

Speaking of Keely - isn't is time to update us all with some pics, PGG?

[FreddysMom]

[Jenniblu]

Hehe, thanks Freddysmom.

PGG, I totally understand that heat thing. I had to waituntil 7PM to take him out yesterday - it was just too hot and humidearlier. Today is supossed to be in the upper 80's, so he'sgoing out again this evening.

Vash is just so beautiful. He has that look that just makes you want to cuddle him - like a Teddy bear.

BTW, did you forget to put his clothes on??

Pet_Bunny, I'm so jealous of you rightnow. Today it is a 'cool' 90 degrees over here, but much morehumid today than yesterday. I would so like to have a daywith 68 degree weather about now.

Hey LuvaBun, I had to prove that vash can make it just fine withoutclothes during picture time lol. Although he would have beenjust darling with a little baby wife beater shirt on and a bandannaaround his neck.

Last night,the power wentoffin our entire bottom all night. The power went off atmidnight - just when Vash and I were settling down for bed. Idon't know what exactly happened, the there were bright flashes of bluelight several times and then the power kept blinking off and on.

Vash was using the litter box when the lights kept blinking off andon. I was going around the house gathering lighters for thecandles andthen went outside to make sure that the poweroutage wasn't caused by a nearby house fire. As I wasentering thehouse, a bright blue flash of light appeared,scaringhim wile still in the litter box.

Vash fell twice, slamming his head on the side of his cage and litterbox. He also banged his righthind foot up prettybadly. So far, he seems to be doing fine - no seizures,limping, cuts,etc. He's pooping and peeingfine. He thumped for the first time ever! Not inthe 2 yrs of his life has he ever thumped before, and I felt so bad forhim.

I tried to let him out of his cage to comfort him, but he bounded outand jumped over the coffee table onto the couch and over the coffeetable again and ran and got behind the love seat. When Ifinally got him out from behind the love seat, he was breathing fastand still thumping.

I put him back in his cage, and he thumped a few more times thenstopped. Now Vash is used to being a house rabbit, and hasbeen one since I got him from his breeder at 4 months of age.He is used to the sounds of fans, HEPA filters, TV, air conditioners,etc. In the still pitch black darkness of the power outage,Vash just sat and whimpered (never heard him do this either) and criedlike a small child. I decided to light some candles andsleep on the couch next to his cage and talk to him and sing abit. It worked and he eventually started to relax and driftedoff to sleep. I didn't get a bit of sleep worrying betweenabout Vash and keeping my fish alive inthe aquarium.

However, he is now afraid to get completely inside his litter box(where he was scared so badly last night)to use it, so he hasbeenputting his front feet in the box and peeing.I'll have to work on getting him to trust the litter boxagain. I'm going shopping for a new one tomorrow - maybe abrand new box will bee more inviting.

Oh goodness, poor Vash. He must have got a realscare, Bless him. What a good Mommy, sitting and singing to herboy. Hopefully, a new litter tray will do the trick. Give hima big kiss from me.

I don't how good a mom since I'm horribly tone deaf, but he doesn'tseem to mind. Vash has nibbled just a few pellets today,but his water consumption is still great. I'll get him someextra treats like you suggested Naturestee.

 

[Jenniblu]

Last night was horrible. I wasawakened by Vash thumping again. The TV is set toautomatically cut off at 3AM. Vash apparently thought thepower went off again when the TV cut off, and began to thump.When I got to his cage, he was frozen stiff with fear and whimperingagain. The TV went back on and I ended upon thecouch again talking to Vash, rubbing his nose,and comfortinghim. Little bugger went sound to sleep within a few minutes.

It is now morning, and I have a terrible migraine and feel groggy anddizzy from the sleeping med I took last night, but Vashy is playinghappily in his cage and eating like a horse. :?

To buy list for Vash: new litter box, treats, and night light

 

[Jenniblu]

Good news - Vash got a new litter box on the28th. along with treats and a night light placed in the kitchen rightoff from the living room where his cage is located. He's beeneating and drinking just fine.

Today, I took him to the feed store to show the owners 'the spoiledbunny.' Vash saw the owner's teenage daughter wearing shortsand just had to follow her around for a bit and sniff and lick herankles a bit. She was his favorite until the owner's sonWarren (how fitting uh?) came in the store. Vash would hardlyleave his side and even became a fur puddle while he petted him.

Vash had so muchfun and hopped around and explored the store,then flopped down right in front of the counter.The customers today just loved seeing him. He got pets andeven a kiss or two from the female customers and 'that's the biggestrabbit I've ever seen!' :shock:from the malecustomers. I even had a lady ask for the name of his breeder- she caught Flemish Fever right there. The owner's daughternow wants a rabbit likehim also. Flemish Fever isspreading!!! Who wouldn't want a big ol' lump of friendlybunny for their very own?

He scored some rabbit food while in the store and we also got someapple and oat horse treat biscuits to take home. He tore intothe one that Warren gave him - even licking the crumbs up!

Anyway, here's a pic of his new litter box and you can also see hisnewest toy. I wrote 'Deposits Only" on the litter box.

 

[CorkysMom]

Glad to hear that...I hadn't seen that...poor guy!!!! I bet he did have a scare...

Keely said if he's afraid of the dark, he can come visit and she'll keep him company at nite..
