Monday Mantra

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

FRANK HERBERT

Monday Mantra

At last,

my love has come along

My lonely days are over

And life is like a song

You got anymore of that nanna?

I figured ole Whoosh was lonesome. Millie pretty much tried to kill him everyday. He met Mojo and Duds.....Mojo tried to kill him but Mom got between that in the nick of time....Whoosh has a scar.

Took Whoosh to the rescue Sunday. I had several girls in mind but not this girl. Not that she isn't wonderful, I just didn't consider her because she is ahem...a strong personality type. I was looking for a very timid bun girl or boy for Whoosh. Our director suggested that we try Darla. "Sure we can" I said. (thinking in my head, "that is so not going to happen")

Darla's back story:

Came to us from the animal shelter. A darling rex bunny used for breeding. She and her sister were attacked by the neighbor's dog. Shelter didn't want to mess with two injured bunnies. They called and said they were going to be put down that day. Our director went to get them and took them straight to the vet. Darla had bite marks in her dewlap and haunches. She would make it. Her sister was bitten through her spine. Sister left for the bridge shortly thereafter.

Back to current day:

I put Whoosh in a playpen first, then Darla. Pretty much love at first sight. No hostility, none. I had made plans to bring Whoosh back at least twice and wasn't going to take a bun home that day BUT I had to strike while the romance was hot. They stayed together all day yesterday but I separated them last night just to be safe. Whoosh was waiting at the gate this morning.

I cant get this girl satisfied with food. She is constantly looking for more. She took over Whoosh's tent, his food bowl, his blankie and his big stuffed creature. He doesn't seem to mind a bit. (I went and got another tent just in case) She is pushy for grooming. Loves her some head rubs and the best part? Now Whoosh comes for head rubs too. He has never asked me (or anyone I think) for a head rub.

They are in love.

Monday Mantra

Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness.

Happy New Year From Scotland

No we arent in Scotland....I wish

Look at all my lovely things. I ordered a tiny little ACEO watercolor (its the bridge) and a great looking pocket and journal set with a handsome hare from my friend Annette in Scotland...you can visit her here...http://dragonhouseofyuen.blogspot.com/ and of course she was far too generous. Millie got a handmade blanket with her name on it. Oatmeal cakes and freeze dried carrots were a BIG hit....and almost gone. LOL A wonderful package filled with precious note cards and little thank you cards with handwritten notes. Annette does gorgeous watercolor and creates lovely art with recycled materials too. Most of my prizes will go in my book of special things and the journal, I believe I will fill with quotes from my favorite smarter than me people. Thank you so much Annette. We love all of it. It came on an important day, a sad day and your kindness made it better.

I wish you all the best in 2012 and beyond. May it be a wonderful year for all of us. I kept none of my resolutions from last Jan so I am going back to my habit of just not making them.

Sending love and healing thoughts to Clint. I think about you a lot buddy.
