"I massage your feet"

Pappa Bear is either trying to snuggle or look cute enough so he doesnt have to take anymore meds. Tough luck Haven! You still have another week. My little sweetie has pneumonia. The new bunny vet has him on massive amounts of meds and we have been going for breathing treatments. He is feeling much better though and is fighting like crazy to avoid his medicine. We learned some new things at the new bunny vet. We liked her very much. I like to have 2 vets at all times for my bunnies and it looks like we are back in business.

I picked up a bunny this week for the rescue. She is a grossly overweight little rex girl. Never had her nails trimmed, doesnt look like she has ever been out of her cage and her "person" has been feeding her junk treats. I really want to kick some people in the face. We did her nails today at the rescue and she is soaking up the lovin. She already has the undivided attention of one of our new volunteers. Hmmm, you never know what could happen.

Its getting too hot already in Oklahoma. They are talking 100 temps. ITS TOO SOON FOR THAT! My flowers are feeling downtrodden and depressed about the whole thing.

Let me take the time to reiterate:

Bunnies cant survive these temps. Keep them indoors! Keep them indoors anyway.

Really? Do we still have to remind people not to leave their kids and pets in hot cars? It has already happened in OK. A 2 year old dead. Godammit how do you forget your kid is in the car?

Dont take your dog to the store when its 95 out YOU FREAKIN IDIOT! And when you strap your baby in their car seat remember to take them out when you get out.

Sorry, but this is just senseless crap.

Just like the oil spill in Louisiana.

Happy Birthday Mojo and Tango and Happy Memorial Day!

Some Birthday lovin and groomin

Well I can finally log into my blog. I kept getting a "fatal error" for almost 2 weeks. Dont know about that but it sounds very scary.

Its my girls birthday! 3 years ago today they came to live with me. It was the start of a journey I didnt know I would be taking. These two little precious bundles huddled into the front seat of the car, scared to death and not knowing what would happen to them. Look at'em now. Happy Birthday Tango and Mojo!

I want to thank Laura at http://renorabbits.blogspot.com/. She sent me a wonderful scrapbook album with pictures of Stewart. The detail was amazing and it is something I will treasure always.

Dawn at http://christiejolu.blogspot.com/

gave me an award a bit ago. I havent been able to respond until now. Thank You Dawn and here are the answers to your questions. I cant get the blog award picture to show up tho. "sigh"

Question: Why did you start blogging?

Answer: I am not sure. I thought my blog would be about any number of things. I have strong political opinions, a love of music and books, and thought I would have a great deal to say about everything. My blog is mostly focused on my bunnies. I have really come across some wonderful people on this adventure: bunny people and non bun people. I have enjoyed it so very much. If I can be a bit of an advocate for animals and their humane treatment, more the better.

Question: What date did you start your blog? Did you expect it to be popular?

Answer: June 18th, 2009. I dont know if it is popular. It doesnt matter. I enjoy the visitors that I have.

Millie is doing great and is spoiled to the core. Dudley buns is still my fraidy bun but all is well with him. Please keep good thoughts about Haven. He goes to the vet this morning. His breathing has been very labored and thick. I started him on meds friday and he already sounds better but we arent going to play around with this. I am very lucky to have a vet availible on Sunday. It will be our first visit with this new bunny vet and I hope all goes well and I dont have to yell at anybody.

This blog is dedicated to my dad. He served 25 honorable years in the United States Air Force. He was a good man that set an outstanding example. I love you dad and it took me almost 40 years to realize just how smart you were.

Happy Memorial Day to all those wonderful men and women who have served, died and continue to carry the torch.

Baby birds and Scottish Prizes

Nothing but mouths on these 3 babies. Momma Mockingbird picked a good spot to have her babies. My Mohave Firethorn is very secure from predators with its long angry thorns. I have been checking them daily because of all the bad weather we have been having in Ok. They are doing fine. Momma did not appreciate me this close and dive bombed my head. I had to hurry so the quality is not great.

Last week there was a knock on the door. My mail lady was standing there smiling.. "You got a package from Scotland!" She was excited too! I opened it to find all these wonderful things inside. Annette from http://dragonhouseofyuen.blogspot.com/
sent me a fantastic package. She made Haven a very special bed for tiltys. It is flat in the middle and has support rolls on either side. She made some very touching pillows in honor of Stewart and Nemo that will hang in Millie Mouse and Haven's area. We got wonderful cards for different occasions, some yummy bunny chews made from herbs and the pink balls are for treats, you bun folks have probably already seen them before. You put the treats inside and the bun has to roll them around to make the treats come out. How fun! We also got one of the famous stuffed buns she makes. Thank you so much Annette. It means so much to me.

My little smartie knew right what to do with his bed. He has a good view and support to watch the unflappable Miss Millie parade around the room.

Strange Accident

I was creeping up on Millie Mouse to take her pic. My mirror was sitting on the floor and I accidently pushed the button on the camera. This was the strange result. Look in the mirror see Millie. Weird, even the color is funny looking.

The Queen

Millie is settling in nicely. She has been exploring and investigating things. I am not sure if we meet with her approval. Its doubtful.

I didnt block Haven off last night, just sat by him and we watched her antics around the room. She promptly started hoggin up his leftovers. Look at his face.....What do you think he is thinking about her boldness?

Happy Mother's Day to all those great Moms out there.

Do Rabbits Have Lips?

Millie certainly looks like she does.

Meet Millie: the newest addition to the bun household. My darling girl holds a very special spot in my heart. For those of you who visit Heartland's blog you may have seen her before. She has been at Heartland between 5 and 6 years until she came to live with us today.

My first day at Heartland I brought banana's for the bunnies. I reached in Millie's house to give her a piece and she promptly ripped my thumb open. I sent her a mental message right then: " You and I are gonna be good friends girl"

Quick background on Millie: She was found many years ago abandoned in a parking lot, while freezing rain was coming down. She was in a cardboard box with a broken back leg. Suspiciously, a daycare sat close by. My girl was cold, shivering and in terrible pain. Jeannie (that's our director at Heartland and bun champion) scooped her up and got her to a vet. After a delicate surgery to pin her leg and many cast changes her leg healed very nicely. Now, can you blame her for biting me?

Millie developed a very slight head tilt last year. Quick treatment cleared it right up. She is a beautiful bun and has settled down quite a bit. I look forward to spending time with her and spoiling her rotten.

Haven is not to happy with her being in his room. He stared at her balefully from across the carpet this morning and thumped thumped thumped. Its okay Haven baby, it will be a while before you meet her face to face and no baby, she will not steal your green yummies.

Say Hello to Millie AKA Millie Mouse, AKA Nilla Bean.

No really Mother, its fine. THEY ARE ONLY 700 THREAD COUNT!

My mother is an excellent bunny grandma and a very good bunsitter. I came home from work Saturday morning and snuggled beside Haven for our lovin time. I thought the pillowcase felt unusually soft. I flipped on the big light and discovered that in my absence my mother made Haven a pillow from my 700 thread count sheet set. Really Mother? I only have a zillion trillion pillowcases and you go and pick the one from the only sheet set that cost a small fortune and are my absolute favorite?

Mother: " Sorry, I didnt realize, let me grab it and put it in the wash."

Dumbfounded daughter stares at mother intently........

Dumbfounded Daughter: "Uh, its okay, he can have it"

Stay tuned, there will be a new bun in town very soon. Her introduction in the bun household will be posted shortly.
