Life Is So Stressful

Jakob and Milo

Its actually Millie Mouse but for some god awful reason Jakob insists on calling her Milo. Dont worry folks, I was sitting below her in case her Uncle Jakob shifted or relaxed his position and Milo, uh I mean Millie started to fall. Two of my favorite hairy things.

Why is it so hot?

I havent been around much lately. I have missed visiting my favorite blogs. We have been without air conditioner for 8 days now. I am so angry it is probably making my house even hotter.

Last Sunday a power line caught fire in my backyard. It sent a surge to the house that blew my compressor. Monday I call the company that installed my compressor, its still under warranty.
They say they will be here Tuesday. Tuesday comes and I dont hear a word. I call in the afternoon. It will be Wednesday morning. Wednesday by noon, nothing. I call again and they send a very angry little man. He cusses and tells me He will have to "find" me a new compressor. They should have it Thursday. It is steadily getting hotter.

Nothing on Thursday, I call and leave messages. No return call. I keep calling. I finally get the same woman who always answers the phone. I explain that I take care of my elderly mother and my brother who happens to be blind and has a seizure disorder. Too bad so sad. They will be here Friday. By Friday afternoon I am in tears. Too bad, so sad. Nothing, not even an "We are really sorry"

By Saturday afternoon the heat index is 105. Upstairs bunnies had to be moved downstairs on Wed to try and keep them cool. They are suffering too. I called another company. They are pulling my warranty and are supposed to be here in the morning. Please keep your fingers crossed they are.

The rescue rescued me. Jeannie and Brad loaned me some window units Sat and it has really made a nice difference. I am so thankful to both of them.


I have never seen a company around here so callous. I will be filing complaints with the BBB and writing letters to the Chamber of Commerce and the mayor as well as the company's owner as soon as I find out who the hell it is. The woman that takes the calls refused to let me speak to anyone else.

I look forward to being back and checking out my favorite blogs this week. I just havent had the energy to get on the computer. I have a new respect for folks without air and will try and do something to help someone else out when this is over. I used to love summer but now I hate it with every fiber of my being. Does anybody give a damn about providing good service anymore?

To blog or not to blog? That is the question

I have been thinking of starting another blog. An unbun related ramble. There are lots of things I have to talk about: Books, music, politics, stupid people, things that just dont fit in a bun blog. Questions to ponder, profound questions, such as:

Why do people hang fake testicles from the backs of their trucks? Are their own testicles quite small and it makes them feel better?

Why does God allow stupid people to breed? Is it because one day when a cattle truck is hauling down the road the stupid people will be in it instead of cattle?

Why do grown women get so excited about the Twilight series? I dont get it. I fell asleep during the first movie, they were boys to me, not men and not a hairy chest in sight. No juicy sex, violence, yummy blood sucking, nothing.

These are the things we must consider. What say you? Rabidtidbits2?

Thank you for your comments and emails about Havenzezezez. He is looking and feeling better than I have ever seen him. My little sweet pea.

A BIG ASS SHOUT OUT to my friend Rick. I so appreciate you giving me your head cold. You brought it all the way from New Orleans you bastard. How do I love thee? Let me count the bullets.

Have a good weekend dear people.

All Is Well

"That MY bed Millie, Auntie Annette made it for ME"
"She beautiful but she eats too much"

"Come here often sexy?"

Haven is doing well. His lungs are clear and this morning was his last dose of meds. Woohoo!!!!

I know he is happy about that. So am I! As his lungs began to clear last friday all hell broke loose. My baby went into Stasis. Most likely from the all the meds. No pooping. We did all the traditional methods. Nothing worked. Sunday morning I was on the phone leaving messages for the vet and emailing my contacts. I was a little crazed. I told my vet "I dont want to hear about gas drops, belly rubs and canned pumpkin, its not working. I want a friggin solution." "I will NOT lose another bun to this shit." I got some answers. I wont post them here. I dont want anyone doing things to their bunnies without the advice of a vet. HOWEVER, if you ever need to, email me. I will share but I will warn you, it is risky and one of the most scary things in the world.

Haven is pooping strong and feeling great. He is spending more time bopping around the room and pursuing Millie Mouse. When she returns to her house for litter box time, Haven will amble over and shut her door. That's right Jeannie! He shuts her door. It is the funniest thing ever.

Whew!

Millie is very stressed out after stealing food from Haven all day. Not to mention that she found the raisin container, got the lid off and was helping herself. I came home to find her hogging on raisins like she hadnt eaten in weeks. Haven was just watching in admiration.

This is not a posed picture. This girl sleeps hard!

"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.
