Here's hoping Zeus and Yofi have mischief contests!!! :dude: travel safe.

Can't wait for his homecoming conversations and pics.

[Bo B Bunny]

Yeah, I need a Yofi fix!

and I'll be needing Zeus fixes too!

 

[TinysMom]

I just posted this a bit ago in the "It's a Go" thread I put in the main forum.....

[line]Oh....I suspect I'm in SO MUCH trouble....

Zin called while I was in Walmart getting bananas (I hope he likes them - I forgot carrots). I jokingly said I was thinking of going to the Easter section to find a pair of rabbit ears to wear when I meet him. I couldn't find any.

She was in Walmart at the same time.....guess what she DID find...

We also talked about getting him a hat or something - and I joked I ought to get him a hat that said, "My mom went to Beaumont, TX and all she got me was this d--n hat"....

Oh..and I also mentioned that I ought to get him a bowtie..

Fortunately, I couldn't afford those things - but heaven only knows what Zeus (and I) will be wearing when you see photos of us...

I can't help but think.....Zeus is going to sleep tonight in his cage (unless Ivory has him already) and he has no idea how his life is going to change....

Then again - the more I read the exploits of Yofi - I am not sure I have any idea how MY life is gonna change too!

 

[timetowaste]

Have a safe drive tomorrow Peg!! Lots of pictures please and remember that nobun will ever replace Tiny, but Zeus will bring you a whole new world of love <3

:goodluck

And for good measure, only because this is my favorite smiley ever: anic:

I'm copying and pasting this from the "Zeus has arrived" thread...

http://www.rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=33392&forum_id=1

I cropped these so I am hoping they won't be too big for the forum - I hated to make them small so you had to click on them....

Sorry they're in such a mixed up order....but right now - I'm tired..





I actually did a close up on this of just Zeus and I - but I love the picture of Emily and her boyfriend here....and seeing them smile as they watch Zeus and I really made me feel good when I saw this photo...

Zeus isn't sure how he feels about his new digs for the trip home....he wants to check things out...

I wish we'd gotten more of Emily's boyfriend here....but I love this photo of Emily... Last night I realized I didn't have a thank you card for her - so I made one from one of Tiny's photos and explained in it that Tiny was one in a million - but so was Zeus - and I was so thankful for her help in getting him to us.

It's always nice to know that one kid (Robin) won't be jealous of the new baby....

This is the close up of the shot up above...

I just can't resist all these photos - sorry the thread is so picture heavy....and I HATE myself in pictures too and never share pictures (usually) if I'm in them...

This is how Zeus traveled to us from Emily....and I almost brought a carrier that size but I was worried it wouldnt' be big enough. When I went to get a medium sized carrier - they were out of stock - and the large ones were above my price range.

While we were driving in Houston traffic, I wished I'd had the better carrier and made a mental note to budget for one before Zeus has to visit a vet or something...

I was so excited to see my boy coming....even though when Emily took him out of her car - I don't think I really felt like he was "mine" yet...

Zeus is thinking about his accomodations...did he get upgraded to first class? Hmm...

I know I have a lot of pictures of me holding Zeus - but the fact is - when we'd go to hold Tiny - he'd bite and claw. That was the only "bad" thing about him...we could only hold him for about 30 seconds before he fought - and we'd have to use one hand to hold his head down. I think it was because when we got him - he'd only been picked up and held for getting checked to see if he was show quality or not and I remember thinking the breeder seemed "rough" with his rabbits.

Zeus....well...he's not totally a snuggle bunny but I don't have to worry about bites...so far!

One of the things Zin remarked on was the size of Zeus' nose....I just love the look of his flemish head....and his nose.

Do I gotta put him down for the ride home?

He is starting to get a bit nervous here - so I'm holding him down a bit to calm him before putting him down.

Ah....we get to see Zin....who didn't want to be in the photos....

I had to take a picture of him for Auntie Rosie and send to her email addy. I love the look on his face...

Craisin? You're offering me a craisin? (hint: he didn't take it - probably a bit too stressed)

This was before I held him - I think it was starting to become real that he was "mine"....I was about in tears (or in tears - not sure now). It was at the point that I uncrated him from his kennel that I realized....I could love both him and Tiny - and it would be ok.

I suspect there's gonna be a lot of this going on in the future...

I'm sorry - I just can't get over how much he let me hold him....

Giving his new mom "the butt" for the first time....

Hey - you mean I can get out of here and stretch my legs?

I don't know....this place smells different...

and now for a special preview for those who read the blog...his first meeting with Miss Bea....(you will see I broke it up pretty quickly)....

Miss Bea doesn't get the idea of a "G" rated flick...

I am telling you, that rabbit looks like you, Peg!!

I resemble that remark.....

 

[timetowaste]

i *THOUGHT* i heard a sigh of relief coming from a big black bunny at the rainbow bridge last night...sounded like he was thrilled that his mommy finally is finding love with another, and realizes that there is plenty of love and caring to go around <3

Tracy

 

[TinysMom]

There are three more chapters to be written in Tiny's Rainbow Bridge story....at the end - he goes off a binkies with a special friend (won't share that here now - those who know - please don't share).....because he knows that now his mama has a bunny to take care of her again...

[timetowaste]

i can't even wait. i totally hope zeus and miss bea hit it off real well too, because we all know miss bea could use a little lovin' back in her life too!

I'm about to work on the office and getting Zeus moved in here but I want to share some of the last few minutes...

I went out and sat beside him on the floor. I held my hand out towards him to let him sniff it and see his reaction. Had he cringed or something - I would have pulled it back and just sat there and talked to him. He looked at it - sniffed it - and lowered his head for grooming.

I didn't cry - I think I'm cried out right now.....but I was so happy.

I reached over and petted him and tried to figure out how he likes to be groomed. I'm still not sure how he likes to be petted and stuff - but I tried different things and while he wasn't upset by any - I think he was waiting to see what I would do. I finally pulled my hand away and he was like, "Is that it?" So I petted him some more. Finally, he seemed like he was ready to let me stop - and I stopped. Once again I put my hand in front of him and he looked at it and just laid down facing sideways from me....so he could see me - but wasn't right in front of me.

After a bit I came back into the office and a few minutes ago he just came down the hallway towards the office. He saw me and looked and took off back into the living room.

So that has been our first real "interaction" this morning. So far...so good in my mind...hope he feels the same way.

No lol! (I posted something similar in the trip thread LOL)

Not that I'm a bunny expert but it sounds like he is kinda testing you to see what kind of a human slave you will be to him. You groomed him, so he can see he can trust you and you trust him...now he seems to be saying "are you gonna catch me and stick me in a cage if i do....THIS?!"

Tracy

 

[MsBinky]

I'm in agreement with Tracy about hearing Tiny sigh from relief.

Seriously Peg, it's heartwarming to read your blog. There is nothing wrong with loving another bunny. It just proves how much you learned from Tiny and how much you cherished your moments with him.

Zeus is a gorgeous bun and I love the pictures of you holding him :biggrin2:

 

[TinysMom]

Somehow - I suspect I'm in for more than I ever imagined.....and I'm ok with that.

Just brought Zeus into the office...let's just say Miss Bea wants to be the dominant one. She's now in her cage with the door shut (something she's not used to) and she's trying to figure out how to open the door again since I use a different clip now. She's pretty much not happy with me.

Zeus explored a bit more - then without having Miss Bea around to irritate and try to mount him (he really really wanted her to groom him) - he took off for the living room again. I'm betting I'm going to see him near the rabbitry gate if I go outt here.

He did flick me off on his way down the hall....

::::sigh::::

I hate the thought of caging him although I'm gonna have to. When I caged Miss Bea and Tiny in a pen...Tiny actually stood on his hind legs for about an hour (off and on) and shook the NIC cubes to shake it apart. He did not want to be separated from me.

I suspect if Zeus shakes them - it will be because he wants to go back to the living room or something.

Dang....he's a handful - but already I'm falling in love with him....and I want to hold him so bad - but I want him to trust me more first.

[Bo B Bunny]

Awww

He's definitely got a mind of his own doesn't he? Poor Miss Bea! she'll get over it soon tho!

I can't wait to see more photos and such!

He's probably just in heaven getting to run free so much! My rabbits hardly go anywhere other than their room and maybe the livingroom (of course Clover ventured out more!)- sounds like Zeus is pretty nosey!

I wish I was a fly on the wall to watch him and I wish I could read his little mind! He probably can't believe his luck! women and room with lots of human slave care!

 

[TinysMom]

His NIC pen is gonna be 3 X 3 and he's gonna get about 4 or more hours of run time per day....

That should work - shouldn't it? I think it will work fine...

Peg

 

[JimD]

Hi Peg!

What an adventure you've had!!!

I think thing will work out just fine, too.

Tootsies NIC pen is 3X3 and she's very happy in it. She doesn't get as much run time as you're planning for Zeus.
Her run time consists of running up and down the "aisles" until she's peed in front of everybunnie elses pen....and then she goes back to her pen and hangs out.
