I got up at 8 30 and usually when the buns hear me they get really excited (cuz, you know, they are starving and all that stuff
)
Anyway, I went to the bathroom and was about to get in the shower when I heard this huge CRASH! For a moment I figured it must just have been Smile jumping around her cage (an NIC cage with a large plastic ceiling with 2 heavy books on it). Anyway, there were more noises so I came out to see what was going on and Smile had jumped so hard she knocked down the ceiling and the heavy books were in her cage (she’s done this before…)
Anyway, I was like, ‘Good word woman, just wait for me to feed you’…and started picking up the ceiling bit and books, and then she started running in endless circles, with her Snoozy Sleeper (a little black, soft dog bed) following her…
I was like…Uhhh…
And tried to grab her, but she leaped and jumped and I realized that her Snoozy Sleeper was caught on her leg! Finally I grabbed her and apparently, she had gnawed off part of the dog bed, making it like a noose really…and it had gotten caught around her leg, and the more she had run the tighter the noose had gotten around her leg!
I started unwinding it and she was moderately well behaved, a few well placed kicks… but I got it off and felt her leg for breaks or anything, didn’t feel anything…so I put her down and she hopped around… then acted normal when I fed them.
But YIKES! close call…! Imagine if she’d gotten it tangled around her neck
