I started it first! ![]()
Well, Bindi is off to the vet tonight. His ears are looking pretty suspicious again. I was REALLY hoping to make it to Easter with no vet visits.
Hopefully it will be nothing. Cross your fingers for me!
Groundhog Day tomorrow. I’m hoping the little bugger doesn’t predict another 6 weeks of winter!! What other countries have Groundhog Day?
We have another 30 cm of snow coming tommorow and my house is already half buried. I think New Brunswick is going to have to start hauling this stuff down to Florida. I can’t remember the last time we had this much. ![]()
LPT, as a resident of Florida, them’s fightin’ words. No snow here! It’s bad enough that NY & NJ send us all their worst drivers for the duration of Season. (You can be in your 90s and still get a drivers license. For 8 more years. Until you have an accident and make the insurance co. mad. True story.)
If it snows up there, the groundhog won’t see his shadow due to cloud cover. So endure the snow for Phil’s sake, and shorten the winter for our own sake.
{{{{{{{{{{{Clean ear vibes, Bindi}}}}}}}}}}}
Well, the snow would probably melt before they get to Florida so when it melts they can just dump the water in a lake and come get more!
Old people driving is scary! Not to be mean or prejudice but they can be a real menace! 4 Way Stop!!! You have to stop!!! My neighbor is 91 and still drives! I’m very glad he’s so healthy and able but I hope never to run into him on the road!
Darn, LPT! I was going to start this thread as soon as I woke up!
Sorry to hear about Bindi. Hopefully it’s nothing serious.
My family and I are moving to the city in a couple of weeks. I’m so, so sick of boxing things up. >.< Unfortunately, there's still a lot to do – and I only have 1 to 2 weeks to do it.
I’m still arguing with my father about where to put the bunnies. I’ve offered to fully bunny-proof an extra room for them out of my own pocket, complete with carpet pieces covering the floor and NIC’s covering the walls, but he’d rather put them in a small, unfinished storage room. ![]()
Bunny ear (((vibes))) ^^^^
Fluffy, you’re moving? Cool. You were wanting this weren’t you?
Have you seen the place you’ll be living in? The storage room?
Oops, I didn’t mean that you’d be living in the storage room! :p I meant the house/apt or whatever.
Yes, I’ve definitely been wanting to move.
We went and saw the house right before we got it. It’s a great house. It’s pretty interesting; it was built by a family with a few disabled family members, so everything’s made to be wheelchair accessible.

Hey now! ALL of our drivers are our worst drivers ![]()

My family and I are moving to the city in a couple of weeks.
Random observation – I love how every part of the country calls their big city “The City”.
To me, no matter where I am, NY is THE City! (Incidentally, the WORST drivers in the area are the cabbies up here – I would love to send them to FL!
)
Snow and bad weather? What? It was a balmy 75 degrees here on Sunday and Monday
. Well we’re getting a bit of a freeze now (mid- to low-thirties) but it’s shooting right back up in a few days. Gotta love Texas weather! Except the summers, of course…

Maybe you could send ME to Florida while you’re at it! I’m sick of -15 F weather!
Weeeeeeeeeeee I just picked up my keys and ID card for the Oregon Humane Society. Officially a volunteer there now
They are happy to have someone experienced with bunnies for the small animal room ![]()
LPT, I hope Bindi is okay
(((vibes from Chacha and I))) Please don’t make your mommy worry too much!!
Fluffybunny, I understand EXACTLY how you feel lol! I just moved.. and I ran out of boxes -_- .. I am living on the top floor of an apartment and I had to take all of the boxes from the moving truck into the apartment. That was my work out for the week o________O!!!!!!!
A friend on FB bought up an interesting point.. why are there round abouts? I can see a little logic in it.. but.. bleh! A friend of mine said she saw a lady go left in the round about, instead of going right!!! ACK!!!!!!!!
It is really sunny today
It was a nice walk from my work to the bus stop.
Monkeybun, CONGRATS
Yayyy!!! Where will you be volunterring at? THe hospital?
I am confused lol
I’ve been cutting out the amount of red meat that I consume. I have been eating more turkey, chicken, and fish. I’ve been making my own meals at home, and making better choices about snacks that I eat. I eat a several almonds as a snack. There is protein in it as well
I went without eating meat for a week and when I ate it for the first time in a week, I got sick ![]()
OHS: Oregon Humane Society. Where people go to adopt pets that need homes… silly Brittany
I’ll be in the Small Animal Room, where the bunnies and birds and ratties and meeces will be
When I was on my out today, I went for a little walk around the cattery..and zomg there were 2 adorable little kittens just sitting there watching me, all of 8 weeks old. Precious little babies… Monkey would kill me if I brought them home though ![]()
Oh, I get it confused with the big hospital in Portland, LOL!!!!!!! My cousin works there.
How often are you doing this? You are educating the people on small animals? ![]()
Well, I’ll be helpign to place bunnies in suitable homes, general care of the bunnies, answering questions from potential adopters, etc. ![]()
I think you will do great
You have a good judge of character ![]()
Bindi’s ears are OKAY!!! HURRRRAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
Great for you, Monkey! I’m sure that will be very rewarding work for you! Is there a lot of bunnies at your shelter?
theres a fair number, all the rabbit cages are full right now. theres a gorgeous agouti-dutch that is just…. a very pretty girl. sweetest girl ever. hope she finds her forever home soon ![]()
That’s really great, MB.
Not the NYC Cabbies! Dear god, we don’t deserve the CABBIES!
“Send us your tired, your poor, just not your cabbies.”
Send FluffyBunny instead.
In other news, I finally got my work table set up so I can make jewelery. And I’ll have alot of time to sit at it the next while… boding bunnies ![]()
You do? Lets see it
I’m getting my wisdom teeth taken out tomorrow morning at 9. I went to Fred Meyer after work to get fruit for smoothies (I will not use a straw LOL!!!!!!!!), some mac and cheese (not my usual food).
My dentist gave me 3 different medications. Ativan, Vicodin and one I can’t remember o_O; My dad reminded me to use my medical card to get the pills.. and the total came up to $1.17.
My eyes fell out of its socket
Gee whiz…I need insurance like that! 0_0 Will you guys adopt me?
I take something like ativan before any tough dental procedures, but then the doc winds up giving me a shot of epinephrine with the Novocaine (don’t ask me why) and the effects cancel one another out. >.<
Good luck to you dear! I’ll be thinking of you! Mmmm…smoothies…*pokes you to share*
Hey MB, I’ve been meaning to ask since last month, did you ever get your back tat finished? I didn’t get in here much around xmas and I don’t recall every seeing a pic of the completed image.
I have a LOT of vet stuff this month: Jenna needs a tooth cleaning, my cat Myuu (a.k.a. Tooey) and Griff both go in, her for bowel trouble and him for a well check so he can get HIS teeth cleaned…I’m thinking of having them shave him while he’s under. He’s got semi-long fur and it’s always filthy and he hacks up a lot of hairballs. But he’s such a good looking little guy, I can’t imagine him without his fur on.
Plus he’s SO skinny! I think he’s abnormally thin. Have to ask the vet about that too.
Ooo yes, it did get finished
I’ll get hubby to take a good pic of it soon ![]()

Oh no mimz
((Healing vibes))
I’m on my dad’s insurance.. I believe it is Uniform? I can only be on it for another year, since the cut off for adult children is 25. however, I’ll be still in school by then ,so I’m not sure how this can be all figured out ![]()
I have to pay the doctor deductible out of pocket $300 for each family member
. My new job doesn’t pay the best, and I have my own phone and credit card to pay for. I keep all of my tips in a small safe. I’ve made $106.10 in 2 months. That money is going for bunny emergencies only. I’ve been looking and browsing other jobs.. the job market is getting a little better, but i can tell there is a lot of competition still.
my dad and i are getting our new beds delivered on saturday sometime. depending on the time, we will go to ikea. i hope i won’t be too loopy ![]()
Wisdom teeth extraction this morning.. (since its 1230 am lol). i just took an ativan. I can’t believe this is the stuff my mom took after having surgery ![]()
ativan is an anxiety reducer, I could definitely see it being one of the things your mom was on
GREAT NEWS!!!
MY DAD IS NOT GOING TO THAT JOB 5 HOURS AWAY!!!!!! He gets some other one that is commutable!! HAHA TARGET GET SOMEONE ELSE TO BUILD UR STORE HECKA FAR AWAY!
That’s great Lin. Hope he sees how much he would have been missed by you guys.
@Brittany, Goodluck with the teeth surgery! (((vibes)))
@LPT, great news! *Happy floppy ear bunny dance!*
@Mimz, please update how things go at the vet. (((vibes)))
@MB, Congrats! You’ll be a great asset to your Humane Society.
Oh Lin, I’m glad to hear about your dad. I know that was a big stress maker for you, and all your family!
Brittany, I used to have to take ativan to get on airplanes…and my doc prescribed it for me all through my cancer therapy, and still does. Sometimes it’s the only way I can get to sleep.
MB…it’s a surprise to come in here and not see your little dot lit up with green anymore. 0_o How long are your days at the HS?
Yikes. ![]()
MM, my little dot hasn’t been green the last while cuz I’ve been busy bonding a couple of bunnies
I haven’t started yet at OHS, just gone through the registration and orientation part so far. And because my computer isn’t int he room the girls are in… I can’t be online while doing sessions ![]()
Okay, MB…I guess I should go visit the bonding threads, hm? ^_^ I hadn’t realized that you’d already begun that.
lolz….Fluffbunny! How did you get a camera into my cluttered living room?? j/k
I felt so sorry for anyone dealing with the blizzards back east, now we’ve got a winter storm warning up. But it won’t be that bad. Looks like we’re getting about 2-4 inches of snow by this weekend.
Last night it was coming down so thick I couldn’t see past it while I walked Jenna. Ever tried to catch snowflakes? Ever had no choice but to catch snowflakes?? 0_o
I haven’t posted a bonding thread about them yet :p
Well what’s keeping you? ^_^
Who are you starting with? The Moose/Monkey combo or is Smudgie getting a shot at it? I’m still trying to decide who I’ll begin with when I have the room ready. I figure it should be the boys together first, or maybe Fiver and Pip, then Fiver and Mimzy and then try putting all three together.
Doing a Smudge/Monkey duo currently. It’s going decent, although Monkey doesn’t like it if Smudge leaves the litter box >.< They do great in the box though, lots of snuggles, tons of happy nomming. Weirdos.
Fluffybunny, you’re so orgnized! Did you use alcohol boxes too? Lol!
Mimz, the ativan made me loopy lola and I wanted to get to bed but chacha didn’t want to
the poor girl thumped at a loopy mommy.
I got two ativan in the morning and headed to the dentist. I was there 2 hours instead of an hour and a half.the left tooth’s numbing agent was wearing off and I felt it >.> so my dentist put this mask over my face and I was seeing things and having weird dreams about mac n cheese coexisting with nature. Lol lol.
I got home, took vicodin and slept on and off. My dad took the day off to take care of me and organize the apartment. He made me mac and cheese and I took my antibiotic to rid of infection. Bad idea to lay down. So, I threw up two times. Gross. I’m calling my doc tomorrow morning
Otherwise I’m fine. Just sore and can’t talk very well. I’m eating a yogurt.
I think it’s pretty normal for some folks to throw up after having anesthesia. Good thing to check with your doc, though. I’ve never had my dentist give me the gas, and I don’t think I’d want to try it! >.<
Poor Chacha! She can probably sense you’re not feeling 100% so she wants you to stay put!
Yup, we officially have WAY too much snow. A riding stable where my friend keeps her pony collapsed yesterday because of all the snow on the roof. Thankfully, all the people and horses were outside but now there are like 20 horses who have nowhere to stay. Some of them will probably come to my barn which would be nice because I could have more barn buddies. Sadly, I heard there was a big racehorse barn in the states that fell too and some of the horses didn’t make it.
I’m actually worried about my roof. It’s never had so much snow on it and there is no way to get up there and get it all off.
We have snow rakes up here to pull excess snow off our roofs before it gets to that point. Can you guys fashion something like that from some long poles and maybe some shovel blades or something?
I’m hungry. Tired of.. soups ><
My family and I are getting a moving truck the day after tomorrow, and we’ll be out of the old house in less than a week.
I’m glad it’s almost over!
Yay fun!
My dad and I are going to Ikea tomorrow.. ![]()
Mimz- We have those roof snow remover things at the hardware stores here but they are all sold out. We’ve looked everywhere. Another 30 cm to fall tomorrow. I can barely get my car in and out of the driveway because it’s so narrow. We have no where to put all this stuff. Wish Mr. Easter Bunny would hurry up and bring Spring already!
Make it spring, Bunny God ![]()
Well, I’ll be packing both of my computers tonight, so see you in a few days, BBers. ![]()
Psh. Computers do not get packed, they get transferred immediately from one home to another, where they are set up as soon as they get in teh door ![]()

Today was my first official day today at the MSPCA with the adorable homeless baby bunnies! Unfortunately… The “rabbit expert” didn’t know what cecals were >.< and four of the rabbits had bad diarrhea! He said that "diarrhea isn't really a big deal…" and two of them have had it for a week straight. It's frustrating because that man is the only one who can fill out a checkup request form for the rabbits… Anyway there was an adorable 8 month old spayed flemmie that came in and she had a really long tail that she could ripple it was so weird! I love her personality and I want to see if maybe her an Franz like eachother. XD I want my bunny to have a friend. We'll see!
Also they’re having a rabbit festival for the shelter and they’re goin to have people show the public how to clip nails and groom properly and I totally get to bring Franz to demonstrate the grooming of long haired bunnies XD I <3 homeless bunnies!
I haven’t been able to get my car out of the driveway for 2 weeks now!! The stupid gutters are broken and this water runs down into the driveway and there’s a two ft mound of ice perpetually in the shade >.< I hired some guys clearing snow to fix it and they looked at it and were like "uhhh we can't do that" lol the snow is so bad I think it will be a serious catastrophe if it snows again over what's here… There's no where left to put the snow. Everyone's yards are piled up 20 ft high and same next to the roads… The roads are all single lane now as well now because of it, and it's a nightmare!!!
and four of the rabbits had bad diarrhea! He said that “diarrhea isn’t really a big deal…” and two of them have had it for a week straight.
Natasha, this is the baby rabbits with this? Because that is a big deal! My goodness, give that man a whack over the head for me will you.
Poor buns!
Hope they get help soon
On another side note…. I bought 4 books on Friday about making chain mail jewelry. Wanted to learn somethign new, and wow that stuff is cool. But seriously time consuming. I must practice makign loops… lol
Brittany, are you recovering well from your wisdom teeth extractions?? Eating solid foods yet? ![]()
zomg I was holding bun and i put her back and she flopped!!!!!
cactus- that must be extremely frustrating that the bunny “expert” is clearly not very knowledgeable. You should become the new “Bunny Expert” there.
Monkeybun, can you make me some arm chain mail? Chacha won’t be able to scratch me when I pick her up for nail trims and grooms
Cactus, THAT IS HORRIBLE
I hope those bunnies get care soon!! Please knock him upside the head for me
Diarrhea is very serious, even if humans!
Queensbun, I am not eating solid food.. well, I’ve tried!! I cut food into small pieces, but food isn’t enjoyable when you can only chew with front teeth
*cries* I don’t want to get anything stuck in the open gums. Ugh. I’ve been really cranky because I’m not on my usual diet.. *thumpthumpthump*
I can at least open my mouth better.. its been 5 days.
I haven’t had chocolate in 5 days!!!!!!!!!! THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END!!!!!!1
No
I will be making chain mail jewelry, not chain mail armor. Jewelry is made with different metals ![]()
The rabbits are all under 8 months. I might talk to the shelter director about it on Friday if they still have it. Also the special needs volunteers on Friday put so much food and hay in the cages… Like so much that it reaches the top of the cage and the rabbits can’t actually go in their litterboxes :/ I’m working on Fridays so I can keep an eye on them lol. As my boyfriend said, the Saturday ppl clean up after the Friday people lol
Currently lying in bed eating peanut butter-chocolate chip cookies, watching Greys Anatomy while Thumper does binkies around my room
Ahhh good life!
I have Ms. Rabbit in my lap right now. ![]()
Packing computers. MIne get set up right off too when I move. Gotta have the web just gotta.
OH those poor diarrhea buns. A week gosh thats a long time for a bunny a baby at that. Oh dear.
Hey guess what. I bought a Nook. Not the color one I didn’t want finger prints all over the reading screen. Plus I got a great deal on ebay. I did lots of research and was thinking of Sony til I read that Nook can do epub and other things. As Sony can however this one has Wi from Barnes n noble.
I love this thing. So easy to work. AS usual I read the directions last. Found I didn’t even need them. Am having trouble tho with epubs. The library did say their ebooks can’t be downloaded on ereaders just on pc’s.
When I tried it said I needed Adobe digital reader. Ok went there did that. Still can’t get it. I am doing something wrong.
I chose this one also cuz Barnes n noble is fairly close. If I have trouble I can go there.
I got lots of books already. Found lots for .89 cents got a few of those. I put more free ones in and got 44 books now. Yes some of the free ones are partial books you have to buy the whole thing. Thats ok Some of the free ones are very good.
Got bible and the quran for .89 some were even free. Got shapeshifters n stuff. Oh and some Amish stories too. They have about 200 pages.
I had better put cotton to bed and take ruby out. it is past cottons bedtime lol. 10:40 oy I am late. I spent more time finding free books now I can read for at least a month. Perfect for my after surgery. Funniest thing is I sometimes go to flip the page lik,e in a regular book rofl.
I have even looked for a physical bookmark rofl. Since it is in a nice pink case and a light came with it it seems like it needed a bookmark for a minute. I catch myself starting to look then I remember oh yes electronic book mark silly
YAY!! BB is back. Rough day yesterday. Snowed in and no BB!!!
Peepi just flopped while I was petting him! <3
HI PEPPI AND WARRI
Long time no see!!!! How are you and the bunnies?
I went shopping at Ikea 2 days after getting my wisdom teeth taken out.. and when I smiled, it hurt. I saw all of the nomlicious foods in the food court at Ikea and I wanted to cry!! I couldn’t eat anything! The soups weren’t really my taste..
I got a desk (I’ve never had one before) and chair to study on when I begin online classes, a new dresser, a tall lamp, a book shelf. and a tv stand! I believe my theme was black, lol. My previous dresser was big and bulky (my dresser is in my walk in closet) and I couldn’t hang clothes above it. Now, I can
So I am in the process of hanging the rest of my clothes up in my closet.
I need to find my stuffed animal net.. I have 2 black garbage bags full of plushies.. and I got rid of some too -____-
Does anyone like SNOW??? If yes, come to Moncton. Yesterday’s snowfall set the record for most amount of snow ever in February for this City.
We had a friend over last night and he was charging up his DS in one of our outlets. I let all my bunnies out to play and then he went to unplug his cord…oh uh. It sort of broke in half.
I tried to play dumb but he suspects that one of my sweet, little innocent fluffies is responsible. He has absolutely no proof!!!!! ![]()

that gave me a giggle.
BT, you could join and access any elibrary anywhere couldn’t you? Not just your local libriaries.
Does he really need proof, LPT? Cord plus bunny always equals electrical failure ![]()
Yes he does!!!
Nobody saw them do it, he can’t prove anything!!!!
3 years I’ve had house rabbits and my bed has always been safe. Those halcyon days are over. 😐
i brought banjo into the office, because we’re having a freaky mid-70s day and i worried the apartment might get too hot for her, there’s a lot of greenhouse effect in the afternoon. anyway, she’s breaking hearts all over the floor…
Hehe, highway, I’m sure she did! I’d definitely be right there cooing at her with everybody else. Make sure you counter Banjo’s cuteness with some bunny education, to prevent the dreaded “oh she’s so cute, I want one too!” impulse bun purchases ![]()
ooo, good point, peppy. i’ll endeavor to do that. most of the folks i work with appear to be pet owners, though no other rabbit owners yet. there’s a lot of, oh, look at your rabbit! i have a dog/cat/etc.
