Wondering about Luna & Patrick?

[TreasuredFriend]

She is truly lucky to be in your caring home (Janet)!! And snuggle with someone so good-looking and affectionate like Patrick. He recognized a soulmate when he saw her. I couldn't believe it when naturestee wrote how the first intro was love at first sight. How often does that happen?? ~ Happy Gotcha Day Luna Belle. ~ :love:

Our experiences with rabbits and friends "across the miles" makes this world a better place.
A better place because Luna was fostered by naturestee, a kinder more magnificent world because Luna's part of your family, myheart! Then you share her antics and photos with RO members.... inspiration to all who have compassion.

And you take her to the bunny-savvy doctor when she needs some help. Helpin' those molars stay trimmed, and that didn't scare you from adopting her. For naturestee for transitioning Luna ~ from the shelter to a larger space in her foster home for playtime and binky runs.

Gotcha day Love,

Such a wonderful tribute to your girl. She is very special and truly blessed to be in your home. Sending wishes for more happy years to come!

 

[myheart]

Thank you so much TreasuredFriend and tonyshuman!!! Luna is currently enjoying a cuddle with he man, Patrick, but she sends her thanks also.

I had to give her a few extra berries today for snack-time because I had to give her some fluids. I felt so mean doing it because it is her special day. I kept telling her that I need her to be here for her Second Gotchya Day next year, so fluids were a must-do today. It took us three tries, but we did get the entire amount in for the most part. Now, all we need to do it hope for good weather on Wednesday, and that she is well enough to have a dental done. Luna is well past due for a dental, and I think it will help her to feel better. So, she will need more good vibes to get through this Wednesday. ray:

Thanks so much for the nice sentiment!!! I am with you on that one... I am hoping for at least five more years of Luna's silliness! She is such a character :biggrin2:.

Aw man I missed this!

My darling little girl. I just tear up seeing how happy she is with you. :cry4:

I never realised how relaxed her face looks now. In the older pictures, she looks tense even when she's snuggling. Now she knows she is the Queen!

That's okay... I know you are busy with other things....

Thanks for saying that Luna looks so happy in the pics. When I looked at her older pics, I noticed how out of proportion her body looked then. She had such little stick legs and such a round tummy. I think that is what hurts the most.... not having her with me from the time she was a baby. Whatever the people from her past did, or didn't do,to her for her first four or five years of life was a total shame. Luna has such a spectacular personality, and never deserved to be mistreated.

But, yes, my Luna Belle knows she is Queen of the Bunners. She is kind enough to tolerate Patrick and snuggle with Zappa. It took her a while to get over her fears, but now has control over her domain (and the cats). Luna is really that "one in a million" now that she has noconstraints to keep her from really being herself.

Oh Boy, I teared up when I read your Gotchya tribute to Luna.

She is such a special girl, and she looks so amazingly healthy and happy. And why not? I mean not only has she an adoring Bunny slave looking after her, but two peers loving on her. What more could a girl want?

Happy Gotchya Day, Luna Belle, may you have many, many more!

Jan, you should have been here when I was composing Luna's Gotchya tribute. I was such a mess while I was trying to find the right pictures, and trying to thank everyone I could think of who had a part in Luna's first year with me. I probably had a few tears coming out an hour after I posted.

Luna really does enjoy her trio bond.Luna knows she is the one who is really in charge. She just let's Patrick think he is the one in control...

Thanks so much for the Gotchya Day wishes. I will pass them on to Luna with a few extra cheek-rubs (her favorite!!).

Yesterday was our first day outside!!!! We managed to get an hour of outdoor fun before the clouds started to roll in and the temperature started dropping.

I wish every one could have been there to see Patrick!!! He absolutely enjoyed showing off his moves! He could have put any young buck to shame with all of his binkie moves! I wish I had remembered to take my video camera out with me. I haven't seen Patrick move like that in ages. Even my neighbor requested to see his moves in slow motion! :shock:

I also wanted to make it a point to take Luna out. She had not been feeling well because of the kidney stones. I called the vet Saturday morning to see if I should bring her in for x-rays in case a stone was stuck, but he said that there is no need to worry... when renal failure happens, it happens. I wanted to make sure she was able to go outside, just in case. Actually, I think it did her wonders to get the fresh air and move around. I saw her stretch a few times, so that made me think she was working on getting things moving. She does seem a bit better today, but not 100% in the eating department yet.

Anyhow, I will probably have to make a few posts to get all of the pictures posted. Slobbers made it into a few of the pics, and I am sure you will notice a Dutch-train or two. :biggrin2:

Warming up to the thought of being outside...

Patrick checking out the wind....

Patrick says, "I remember that digging is fun!!!"

"Just warming up Mom...."

"Let's see what my big brother is smelling in the wind..."

My baby girls....

Woo-Woooooooo!!!! All Aboard!!!!:biggrin2:

More pics to come.... :biggrin2:

 

[myheart]

Patrick starting to get "those thoughts" in his head...

Time to huddle...

All Aboard another Dutch-Train!!!!!

:singing:"One of these things doesn't look like the other...."

One more post of pics.... :biggrin2:

 

[myheart]

Mr. Patrick showing off his digging skills for the ladies...

I love this pic. There was a noise that the bunners didn't recognize so they all put their ears up at the same time.

Patrick goes back to work since the noise wasn't a threat...

Zappa... "I disapprove of this silliness...."

One more Dutch-Train.... Woooo-Wooooooo!!!! :biggrin2:

Cuddle-time....

Zappa-butt....

Amazingly, that's it for the pics... I couldn't wait to post some of them!!! They did so well outside, and had tons of fun. I will bring out my video camera next time, although I don't know if I will be treated to another round of Patrick binkies. In any case, we will have to wait until later this week because of the the cold rainy weather coming. I am so hoping Luna perks up a bit more... I want her to enjoy the sun and grass for as long as possible. :hearts:

Woot!!!! I just saw Miss Luna eating some hay all on her own!!!! You know I'm doing the happy dance for her because she won't be going anywhere soon!!!

:bunny18Go Luna Go!!!!

 

[LuvaBun]

Oh goodness, I LOVE all the pictures. It looks like they had a great time outdoors - good for Patrick, binkying all over the place .

And hey, I didn't know you had a dog with Dutch markings . Looks like they all get along, too.

Sorry to hear Luna has had a few 'off' days . Hopefully, her trip outdoors will cheer her up.

Aww! Cute little Dutchy trains! Little miss Luna seems to have a cactus-butt!

I know... I wonder if that isn't part of her not feeling well, aside from the stones. Patrick went through a major molt last fall and didn't eat or feel well for such a while. He lost so much weight then, that I was really afraid for him if he lost anymore he wouldn't have any body fat to lose if he became really sick.

Luna is actually feeling and lookingquite thin right now andI am not happy about it. But she pee'd in front of Zappa's cage andthat makes me happy!!! I'll take that for now, as long as her appitite picks up again soon.

Jan, they had the most excellent time outside!!! I think it did wonders for Luna's spirit. She ate most of her salad last night! I even saw some small poo's and a puddle of pee at the corner of Zappa's cage this morning. It is a small relief for the moment, but she is being a stinker and not eating her noon salad today. She looked excited to get it, but then turned her back on it. Maybe she wants her own plate of salad, or her tummy is still a bit off....

LOL about Slobbers having Dutch markings!!! When I was taking the pics, I thought, "Awe-man, the dog is in the way!!" Then I loaded the pics, and thought those were the funniest things I have seen in a while. Poor dog had to be the caboose on my train...

So sweet. Glad the fresh air did your cuties good. I also love how well your guys get along with that big doggie! Re: approaching the salad and then backing away from it, has it been a while since tooth trims? That could be a tummy issue sign, but could also be a tooth issue sign.

Luna just had her teeth done about two or three weeks ago.

I am wondering if she has lost status because she is sick. Is she allowing the others to eat first because she is now the weak and sick one?I gave her fluids today, and immediately followed it up by letting Luna pick out a couple small blackberries. We were all alone in the bunny room so there was no pressure from the other bunnies. She gladly munched down her berries of choice. I left her out of the room to finish getting berries ready for everybun else. When I brought the berries out, she seemed interested and then backed away allowing Patch and Zappa their choice of berries. I don't think she was full because I gave her the plate or remaining veggies a bit later and she started munching on that right away.

Do you think I just need to feed her separately for awhile until she gets all of her strength back? That is the only thing I am able to think of doing at this point. I need her to eat , but I don't know why she is backing off from feasting with the others.

Oh Janet, your babies are so Adorable.

I bet it must be great to watch 3 Bunnies interacting with each other.

Your doggy is Beautiful too.
