Rory hasn't experienced snow yet, I suppose I could have brought him outside a couple weeks ago when it was in the 20s, but today it's 40 below! Tomorrow night I'm going to bring a container of snow in for him to play in. Have you done that with Wash yet?

Are you going to be able to get him a friend? Especially girls, like someone else mentioned :? How many bunnies does Karan have? Many girls? I will most likely adopt our new bunny from her rescue, one in Wasilla or the Fairbanks shelter that Rory came from if the right bunny comes in.

Also, what exactly do you use to support the levels in his cage? I'm planning how to make Rory's great big cage and want to have two levels in addition to the floor. I want to make a cage just like Sophie and Apollo's cage.

It is definately too cold in fairbanks My family and I are driving down there to see hockey on the...28th I think (my dad thoughta road trip would be fun). I haven't brought any snow in, but I might do that today. I'm not comfortable with bringing Wash out in single digit weather.

I'm hoping to talk to my parents about getting another rabbit today, I did really well in my first semester at college (3 A's and 2 C's) so it might happen. The little girl I was oh-ing at is still at Anchorage Animal Control and adoption there is only $5, so if I get my room cleaned and everything set up it would be pretty easy to incorporate the cutie into my life. I'm not sure how many females Karen has, but I do know that she is ALWAYS full of rabbits Last time I was there she had just rescued a femaleEnglish Spot from a lady who thought that hay was a treat, I would this she would be a lot healthier by now. I think best bet is just to e-mail her.

Right now I just have some nic grids supporting the 3 long shelf and nothing on the shorter one, so far it's working just fine. Some people use dowels underneath the shelf and there are some shelf brace support things that you can get at places like home depot.



Haley and Thumpers_Mom - you'd have to end up in Alaska sometime then maybe would could work out a transaction :biggrin2:*cough*basil and max*cough*

Wash is such a cutie! When can we expect more pictures?

 

[tundrakatiebean]

I just took some today, so I'll probably upload tomorrow

 

[missyscove]

Yay!
Now, when can I expect Wash to arrive at my house?

 

[tundrakatiebean]

Whenever he learns how to drive

 

[missyscove]

I'm free Saturday.

 

[tundrakatiebean]

I'll make sure to let him know

 

[missyscove]

...and... I know how to drive!

Fiona & Timmy are loading up their carriers. They want to know how long it takes to drive to Alaska.

 

[tundrakatiebean]

depends on whether you go through Canada or take a ferry and how often you get lost

 

[missyscove]

Have no fear Wash! I have good navigational skills... north & east, right...

I'm coming and you can winter down south in Sunny Southern California!

Okay, I will be posting pictures later today once I get off my lazy but and go get the camera, but first it's story time. Everyone gather 'round and make sure you sit criss-cross-applesauce!



I have been talking about getting another rabbit (as a friend for Wash) for a while. I think it would be the best thing for Wash because he is getting more and more desperete for attention the view times I am home during school. The only problem was asking my parents if I could bring another animal into the house (I already have a bunny and a boyfriend ) So I thought to myself "Katie, that's easy, just make sure you get really good grades and Dad will be so surprised that he'll HAVE to get you another bunny!" The reason I thought this would work is because I was a f-d-c student in high school. So my first semester in college I pulled in three A's and two C's with a 3.2 semester gpa. Dad was impressed, so now just to work up the courage to ask him.



If you look a few entries back in here you'll see me freaking out about a brown bunny that was at animal control. She was still there when my grades came in and I was so nervous that she would dissapear because SHE was the one I wanted for Wash, but to make sure I went to animal control with my boyfriend on the pretense of getting a volunteer application (which I actually wanted) and then asked to see the bunnies. I held her and she just cuddled right up to me and was so good about being held! Now I wanted her all the more. I started dropping really obvious hints to my Dad and finally he said "we'll talk about it" The short version of that conversation was "I'm not sure about this yet, but I'm leaning toward Yes"



The day after this talk the brown bunny dissapeared from animal controls listing. I went there to drop off my paper work and asked the desk staff if they knew where the bunnies had gone (all 3 they had dissapeared at the same time) The lady at the front desk said she had just updated about the rabbits and maybe she had done it incorrectly. So I get home and, of course, check right away. They have 2 NEW rabbits in, so I think there was a misunderstanding between myself and the desk lady. My last hope is to e-mail our local rabbit rescue lady and ask if she knew what happened. I thought it was possible that she had taken them home with her since she volunteers with them at animal control.



I e-mailed her and just got a response back today. She knows where ALL the bunnies are and is so thrilled that I am thinking of adopting the girl. :biggrin2:I did a little glee dance when I heard. My Dad is asking me to check if she is sayed, because he knows I really want this girl and she'll dissapear if we take to long.



All I can say about this whole thing is that it is AMAZING that she has been here all this time, it's starting to feel like something bigger than me has a hand in this or I have been having REALLY good luck which is so unlike me.

end of story for now!

:biggrin2:Yeah i hoep you get her thats fantastic news inkbouce::highfive:

 

[SnowyShiloh]

Katie, I'm so happy for you and Wash! I'll be hoping as hard as I can that your dad says "yes"! I can't wait to see a picture of the little girl. Please keep us updated. Rory has a new little friend, too. We need another bunny of the north!

 

[tundrakatiebean]

Bunny Pictures! Not all that many because he made me pet him until my arm fell off, everytime I would stop he nipped me and shoved his head under my hand

I guess I should have said not AS many

 

[missyscove]

I can see that he's really excited about migrating down south to visit me.
I like his Swedish fish box.

I think he'd miss the snow if he were with you

lol, thank you, it was just a box they put stuff in at Costco and since I get first pick of all the boxes in the house I grabed it


*edited* to add that there are snow bunny pictures coming soon!

 

[tundrakatiebean]

Wash got to go in the snow yesterday - he had fun, but was kind of a butt. He bit me hard enough to leave marks when I tried to bring him back in because I was cold

Wash saw my mom inside through the window and started begging for craisens you can tell what he gets from mom all the time

*GLARE*
