His first day playing outside....

I can't get over how much more active he is than Tiny was....

Peg
 
85 degrees! Too hot for me.

We are sitting at 32* F which is comfortable for me. :p Well it could be a touch warmer though.

I'm glad your Nikon is taking good pictures now. I can't believe how white Zeus is.
 
Zeus is SOOOO adorable!!! He is such a pure white color. His ears crack me up. He will now be added to my bunny napping list officially. I don't know how I am supposed to house all these bunnies...

Tracy :)
 
Peg, I'm so glad that you're enjoying Zeus and that he is making your life brighter. That's why I brought him to you- I knew that he'd bring you so much joy and help you with your grief.

I hope that things continue to go so well!
 
Well, I am now officially in the doghouse with both Miss Bea and Zeus.

She's mad at me 'cause she got locked up so he could have some play time. Tough goings cookie....he gets time out too you know....so I'm really NOT that upset.

He's upset at me cause I had the audacity to HOLD HIM IN MY LAP. HOW DARE I? Don't I know that his regalness is beyond being held?

I tried explaining to him that I'm the "big kahuna bunny" and he said he didn't speak Hawaiian. So then I tried to explain I'm the boss and I swear he said something about being a legend in my own mind.

I tried to brush him and he was NOT happy.

Oh - this lasted all of about 2-3 minutes probably. I'm horrible about asserting my authority over flemish giants...not that I'm afraid of them - they just know how to wrap me around their paws by using their eyes or something to mesmerize me. (I have no problems bossing around lionheads and treating them and stuff). But put me with a flemish and I melt like a puddle...sheesh I'm bad.

Anyway - after I let him go he sat about 2 feet from me and turned his back to me and groomed himself. Then he decided to turn towards me (probably to watch what I was doing) and let me pet him....several times. I think he said I could pet him as long as it was on HIS terms.

As soon as I got up off the floor - he went right back in his pen (I had opened the door).....and stayed there.

So now Miss Bea has come out of her cage - flicked me off a few times - chinned things - and gone back to her cage to ignore me - and he's back in his cage to ignore me.

Boy...am I ever in trouble.

Oh - and Art said the reason Zeus didn't understand what I was trying to say about being the boss was because I wasn't wearing the rabbit ears....

Hmmm.....

I wonder if they would make a difference?

agreed, if you just take a picture of yourself looking stern with the bunny ears on and stick it next to Zeus cage I'll bet he would be a much better behaved bunny :nod
 
Yo! Zeus here. Finally got mom outta here so I can get on and write. Took her long enough.....

Its not bad here. Still gotta break mom in a bit. She keeps trying to put my poops in my bed. Sheesh...doesn't she know if its round and has hay in it...its my bed and not my toilet? Besides - a toilet needs to be closer to George so I can pee on him.

Let me tell you - this place has some mighty fine does.....mighty fine...yep....I'll say it again. MIGHTY FINE. All a guy has to do is go out in the rabbitry and lower himself into napping position and the gals line up to groom him. You should hear their comments....why...they make a guy pretty proud....even if he is already a god like me.

What comments you say?

Well....

"Hey handsome...with that ear thing you have going...you look rogueish like Hans Solo in Star Wars"

and

"Wow...what soft fur you have...can I cuddle with you?"

and

"You haven't been groomed yet till I've groomed you.."

Yep - a guy could spend a lifetime in there....if he didn't have to hear the girls squabble over him. I mean - come on - there's enough of me for everyone...

Speaking of everyone....WHY must I share MY ROOM with the wicked witch of the West. Yep - you know who I mean...the diva bun "Miss Bea". The black bully forgot to tell me the rest of her name....just called her "B-----". I'm filling in the blanks with...

Oh....this is a "g" rated forum.

Fine - her new name is WWW for Wicked Witch of the West.

Got it?

Good - now lock her up.

Sheesh - mom opens up my pen so I can come out for a bit (cause SHE is snoozing). So what does SHE do?

SHE decides to start coming in and chinning things.

Fine - I can let her chin things for a bit - 'cause I'll just chin over them.

But then she starts to go for my food bowl.

YOU DON'T MESS WITH A GOD'S FOOD BOWL....NO ONE MESSES WITH MY FOOD BOWL.

SO I chased her. Mom didn't say anying. So SHE keeps coming back....and back...and back.

Why - SHE just thumped at me and then jumped in my bed and nibbled some of my hay.

HOW DARE SHE!

Mom is letting me defend my turf and so SHE takes off whenever I act like I'm gonna charge. (Its sorta funny to see her run - it makes her butt look so fat - I even yelled that at her last time).

Well - I'm outta here - I'm gonna go list WWW for trade in the bunny chat area so I can bring me in a FRIENDLY doe.....

I'd put her in the rescue me area - but I don't think I'd want anyone to take pity on her and adopt her....I'd rather find a way to match her up with another buck.

OOOPS....gotta go - here SHE comes again.

She might as well face it....with me around....she ain't ever gonna pass for the big kahuna bunny...

Ears alone aren't enough to cut it with me around...

I'm a god - and I rule....

Zeus
 
I know I take a lot of pictures of Zeus - I don't really share them all here - just crop a few of the better ones and share those.

I think I have more pictures of Zeus in 3 days than I have of Tiny in 3 years...but I think I've learned my lesson.

Zeus is driving me up the wall - he sleeps in his litterbox and he poops anywhere he wants on his floor. My only other option is gonna be to cover his WHOLE floor with litterboxes.

You should've seen him when I put his poops in his litterbox yesterday. I think if rabbits could cry - he would've. Still yet...he went back and slept in the litterbox. It is really his favorite place to be I think.

Contemplating Lord Blumper's blog and if he should be worried..


Making sure I got his eyes as red (although they're not) in case he needs angry pictures later on for Blumper


He refuses to discuss his position on Blumper...uh...Thumper....


He's heard enough discussion.

Don't mess with him..













I mentioned the fact that I crop photos....well - here is what I cropped out of photos taken at the same time as those first two...











These two right now have a love/hate relationship. She wants to groom him and he lets her - but then he refuses to groom her and she chases him. She is locked up right now so he can get some playtime alone without her chasing him - but he's moping in his pen even though it is open.

Here is some video from last night....





I am thinking that she's angry at him this morning because they got separated last night (by me - since I wasn't going to be in here) and she was thinking about this scene...

Let's just say Zeus isn't the most faithful...



CAUGHT!!!!



There is nothing like a SCORNED Wicked Witch of the West....uh....I mean .... Miss Bea...



And of course he was SO upset when she left in a huff....



Peg
 
Oh for Pity Sake, Zeus! The cat will not be faithful to you! it's just using you for your bed! errr box!

Miss Bea wants to love him but she's also wanting to hump him.... too funny!


Whatever the case, she's at least not mourning as bad right?
 
I am reading edith hameltons Mythology for english and its funny how similar zeus and the real zeus are. zeus was a BIG player, had kids with a whole bunch of women besides his wife. when she found out, she would get MAD. something bad would always happen to these women...



lol
 
Those who know our kitten's name and Star Trek Enterprise will get this....

Zeus thinks he should be on Enterprise - they should make another episode of him in it.

You see...he has "Faith...of the heart..".

Sorry - bad pun...but I couldn't help it.

Peg

P.S. For those unfamiliar with it - the Enterprise theme song talks about having "Faith of the heart" and our kitten's name is Faith....


 
That's really funny! I love it - he was named so well!

(peg's definitely going to kick my butt)

I'm not sure if I should share this - I really don't want to get flamed - and I would never ever rehome Zeus. I love him. He is nothing at all like Tiny - but I love him anyway.

But I'm worried about him. I keep telling myself he's only been here a few days - that he needs time - that I need time - we all need time.

He doesn't seem happy. He doesn't seem unhappy. He just doesn't seem to enjoy his freedom when I open the pen - its like he's totally unsure of what to do most of the time.

I sit on the floor near him and he watches me and I see the look in his eyes as if he wants to trust me - but he can't do so yet. I pet him and he submits and pancakes down for the pets...but its like he's accepting my dominance - yet not ready for my love. I back off and offer my hand to see if he wants more pets and his eyes say he does - but the rest of him says "not right now".

Miss Bea wants to bond with him (I think) - unless she's simply wanting to prove she's boss - I don't know. He's unhappy when she chases him - he's unhappy when she's locked up so she can't chase him. He accepts her grooming - but I'm not sure how much he likes it.

He does like to go in the rest of the house and explore - but he doesn't do that often. He seemed to somewhat enjoy his time outside - and he lived outside before I got him - so I'm not sure how much of this is him adjusting to being an indoor bunny.

I'm also not sure if he was attached to Wendy and is missing her - or what.

I want to see him happy. Whether he ever finds a way to love me or not - I simply want to see him happy. I don't care if he and Miss Bea hate each other and he moves into the bedroom or she moves or whatever. We'll work it all out.

But he's not happy.

Its like we're dancing but we don't know the steps. No matter what we try - we're not in tune with each other. I don't care about it as much for my sake - as for his. I want to see him happy.

Mind you - I'm not saying he has to spend his days binkying...although that would be nice.

But I'd like to see the shadows leave his eyes...I'd like to see him for what he really is like.

I think I've seen a glimpse of it a couple of times....and it excites me.

Anyway - I've rambled far too long on this. I'm happy Zeus is here - I just wish he was happier about being here.

Peg

P.S. He loves hay I'm learning - Tiny never cared for hay....so while he's not eating as much as I thought he would - he's eating a lot of hay and gets so happy when I bring him fresh hay. I guess at least I'm doing SOMETHING right?
