What a crazy day! For whatever reason I made a dentist appointment at 8am on a Saturday. There went my sleeping in. Today was also the 4-H rabbit clubs fundraiser event, so I spent some time with that. I also thought I had a graduation party to go to today, so I rushed home only to discover its two weeks away.

I had to get the buns some food and litter. Its amazing how much the food disappears with a nursing flemish doe and 3 bunny's eating pellets and hay in additon to moms milk.

Since it was very hot and muggy today, I told my wife to take my car for her errands since its the only car with working air conditioning. I was going to take her car to get the bun food and litter. It wasn't looking like it was going to rain anytime soon, so I got this brilliant idea to drive my son's car. Its a 1992 Mazda Miata convertible, so I thought what a great day for a drive with the top down. Granted its a small car with a very small trunk, but I thought the trunk was big enough for one bag of food and litter.

So off I go to the feed store in his little sports car. I pay for the food and litter at the feed store and pull around to pick it up. Out comes the employee with 2 50 poundbags of bun food. He says they told me that you get a free bag also. They have a program where you buy 10 bags you get one free.

Now my son didn't tell me that his trunk was full of his stuff. Picture a small sports car with a 40 pound bag of litter in the passenger seat and 2 50 pound bags of bunny food right behind the headrests. If it had rained I would have been soaked because with the food where it was I could not have gotten the top up. I can only imagine what people thought when I was driving down the road.

Like I said it was a very long week at work, so I laid down to take a nap was almost asleep when my daughter wakes me up with a text. She had forgotten her cell phone charger, it was vital for her to have it so she could charge up her phone. So it was a pleaseeeee daddy can you bring it to me. Since I was now awake, I told her I would. I've been up since 630am and with the heat and humidity all week I was beat. Now a normal person would have come back and laid back down and taken a nap.

Well no one has ever accused me of being normal, so I look at the weather radar and notice a band of rain coming. The yard was already looking like a hayfield so I decided to go out and mow, once again out into the heat and humidity. It was only like 94F with the heat index.

Now I am going to get off the pc and go to bed. Tomorrow or should I say today I will be posting some pictures of the baby flemmies.
 
Arg! I pulled several flea's off ofMiss Daisy. Flea combing a bunny who doesn't want to be flea combed can be painful. I had her on back trying to flea comb her belly and I emphasize trying. She kicked so hard with her back feet that she sent the flea comb out of my and across the room.

Well here are some pictures of the baby's, they are now a month old.

I suspect when she escaped out into the living roomand hopped around where the dogs hang out. I found a couple on Sweetie and one on Titan today. I've been putting salt down on the bunny room carpet and hadn't seen any for a while and stopped. Then I saw a couple crawling on her, so back to salting the carpet. I hate ticks, fleas, flys and big spiders in that order. I know how to deal with fleas and ticks on the dogs, but with bunny's being so sensitive to things I really hate them in the bunny room.

Last year we had a really bad problem with fleas in the yard. If you walked out into the grass you would have them jumping on your legs. This year I sprayed bug killer on the yard 20 feet all around the house and I have noticed them.

So the battle begins against the fleas in the bunny room.
 
Oh my goodness - how can Karen study with all that cuteness?

Have you decided which babies you're keeping? Are you going to keep a buck to replace Titan in case something were to happen to him? (I'm always so scared I'm going to come here and find out he's passed...he's such a big bunny - believe it or not - I pray for his heart to not be stressed by his size).

I loved the story of you getting feed in your son's car - somehow - I can picture you doing that...its something we would have tried...only if it had been me - I would've been trying to stuff about 3 or 4 bags of food in there just to prove I COULD do it.

How goes the contest for "King/Queen of the Warren"?

Nyx says Daisy gets her vote if there is a vote...

I'm noticing a theme with you and tiny cars. Wasn't it you that something like this happened to awhile ago with groceries or something? ;)

It either looks like it's picking up a radio-signal or just opened the parachutes in a drag race. Their ears crack me up!!!
:laugh:

ETA: This picture reminds me of the baby bunny ear picture. :)

Its hard, but we've been married for 26 years, she's gotten used to it or are you talking about the bunny's?

Well....I really didn't want to embarrass you......but I guess since you've distracted her for 26 years from doing this....hmm...

Maybe it is the bunnies that are motivating her to GO to school?


 
Miss Daisy and Pudge duked it out again yesterday. Even through the bars some fur flew. Mr. Titan I think is the new head of the warren, he's letting Daisy and Pudge duke it out while he is quietly taking over.

There is one baby that is always by Sweeties side, bunny number 1. Where ever Sweetie is that bunny is right there beside her. Very cute.

The last few weeks with Karen in school, work, getting up earlier to take my daughterto summer schooland the bunny's it is sometime hard to get the energy to to take care of them.

When I get into the bunny room I always find the energy to take care of them, clean their cages and spend time with them. It is amazing how they can perk me up and give me the strength to do what I need to do. The thumps of displeasure, the smooshed faces to get treats and lettuce is all worth it.

Its great God gaveme these wonderful little furry bundles of love tobea slave too.
 
hmm i feel ya witht hebusy life and feeling to tired to do anything...my buns have helped me feel a lot better over the past couple weeks :) just the nonchalant little antics i think help a lot.
 
Well I was going to post some pictures of the bunny's today, but I thought instead I would post some pictures of my fathers day.

My son in Fort Wayne was unable to come home this weekend. So we had some friends in Fort Wayne whose son was having a graduation party today. Karen and I thought we would go down to see my son then go to the graduation party. We had just gotten to the northside of Fort wayne and were at a stop light waiting for the green arrow when we were hit from behind by a van.

Everyone is ok, Karen and I have sore necks and shoulders. My daughter was in the back seat with her legs up when we were hit. Karens seat collasped on her left leg. I had called 911 and some witnesses to the accident had also called so within a couple of minutes there were 3 police cars, a fire truck and an ambulance. Kristin went to the hospital because of her leg was hurting as a precaution.

I called my son whom we were going to see and he came and got me. So here are a couple of pictures of the accident.

Ouch! Happy flippin' father's day, huh? I am so glad that no one was seriously hurt! Is Kristin's leg OK? I hope yours and Wabbitmom's necks/shoulders feels less sore soon!

:clover:
 
Yes we are, God was watching over us today. The car can be replaced, people can't.

We had a little fun with the situation. Karen and I had her sister and my son going. We were texting them saying I think if we pry the fenders away from the wheels it can be still be driven, a little duct tape to lift the bumper up etc. They thought we were serious!

:biggrin2:

It would have just looked like a car from Michigan. :p (My boyfriend is from MI, and his family still lives there, so whenever we drive through MI, we play "find the crappiest car". There's a stretch of I-94 by Detroit that is like the bumper burial ground. There are bumpers all over the sides of the highway!) ;)
 
When you texted me that picture I was like, 'What the ???'. I didn't recognize the number at first - then realized it must be yours since it was Karen's number.

I started praying for you guys immediately - I'm glad now to know the whole story behind the picture.

(At least it wasn't your son's cute little car...).

No doubt! First, you would have been deafened by his angry scream, even all the way down in Texas :tantrum: and, we might not have survived! :shock:

Seriously, the lady was still going like 40 mph when she hit us...no skid marks to show braking.
