ugh. 

so i woke up this morning, did some BInkyBunnying… drank coffee.  then i went to go do a quick clean in the bun room, you know… just a litterbox dump and suck up some stray poos and hay.  i did a big clean friday, moved everything every which way, so i was looking forward to just doing my daily, *quick* 10 minute straightening.

i grab the litterboxes and they are wet.  very, very wet underneath, on the sides… everywhere.  but i didn’t smell PEE, aside from the pee in the box which is barely even noticeable.  what the heck?  i touch the rug and it’s sopping wet.   i grab the water bottle… YUP… bone… dry….  the stupid thing drained all over my rug and the litterboxes, right thru to the carpet underneath.  Max’s cardboard diggy box was completely soaked thru (he’s going to be so mad but i had to throw it away!)   my “quick little straighten” has turned into a huge thing.  i cleaned everything up best i could, but i had to kind of roll up that side of the rug so the real carpet underneath can dry out.  the whole room is in disarray.  i had to reposition their pen so it’s sideways and not on that part of the floor, the buns are MAD b/c i decided they’re going to need to stay in their pen while the floor dries.  i tried to keep them out with the rug up but they kept digging at it, so sorry, buns, you’re just gonna need to deal with that for an afternoon.  i’m not in even the bunny room but i can feel the stink-eye penetrating the walls…

after all this i finally sit down and start thinking… i don’t even know how long they didn’t have water…  i refilled the bottle yesterday afternoon, then we went out to dinner.  in the evening i gave them pellets, but i don’t think i even glanced at the water bottle before i went to bed.  why would i, the dumb thing has never leaked before.  fortunately i have a second bottle so i threw the other cap out…
